Looks like Reddit is forcing another sub open, but there are users advocating changing the sub to be about actual steam.

The issue is some groups of mods are terribly afraid of no longer being mods - for whatever reason - so they don't join these efforts.

I was a mod of a 3m subscriber sub…. I do NOT get why mods would give a shit about being removed. Shits really no fun.

Especially since it is super easy to both open a new community on Lemmy with yourself and your friends as mods and to also advertise it as the official new home to all users.

@kadu Some people like power more than anything. Being a subreddit moderator just gives them that adrenaline rush of control

I mean makes sense they might be a little cautious about what they do, cause like if they get removed the people reddit replaces them with aren't gonna let anything supporting the protests go through.
