- The r/Android subreddit is back after the furor, but it's still in restricted mode.
- The moderators want to know what to do next with the mother.
- The announcement also includes an apology to the community that did not provide information about the accident.
If you visited the r/Android subreddit last week, you encountered a closed community. The moderators decided to join the protest against Reddit being shut down due to the upcoming API changes. However, the rally is now dying, fighting the idea that Reddit won't change its plans, even if it deletes mods and replaces them with mods.
The unofficial Android subtext is back today. However, it's still in restricted mode, which means you have to submit a request to the mod team to release new content. However, you can comment on existing content.
The moderators released a lengthy statement in addition to moving it from "unknown" to "restricted". In a statement, the team explained why it launched the eclipse, as well as its decision to remain in the dark after the initial 48-hour period. The team apologizes that the r/Android community will no longer be involved in these decisions.
Now mods Android fans are asking what should happen next. Here is a particularly important part of the statement:
As a moderator, we follow the needs of the community, while encouraging users to continue to protest in their own way and to remain cooperative with all users and third-party app developers.
In other words, if most users want a subreddit to reopen, mods will. If not, the mods will leave it in restricted mode, or revert to fully private mode. There is no simple poll, but comments are open for discussion.
