    True but I see the number of closed subreddits getting lower each time I look at that page.

      I think a lot of them are either going to be support subs (like stopdrinking), or they will be subs asking their users what they should do.
      The modcoord subreddit is full of support for continued protest

        Yep, we opened up, polled the users, got told to keep it closed, and down went the shutters.

        I see major subs like /r/gaming, /r/todayilearned/, /r/space opening up but they’re not asking their users what to do :(

        Between this comment and my last at least 25 subs have opened up again.

          Huh? Last I checked r/gaming was asking for user feedback on whether they should remain closed and the comments look like a resounding “yes”.

                Interesting that the “best” algorithm is favoring a comment from 3 hours ago with 8 upvotes in of staying open vs one from 4 hour ago with 200 upvotes in favor of staying closed. That’s absolutely not how the “best” algorithm used to work

        Has that been confirmed yet? I saw one person saying it was happening, but the comments below proved they were wrong, and then they scratched out their comment and apologized for spreading false info.
