I agree with the way you handled the results. I was in favor of reopening the sub, but after trying Lemmy, I’d be fine with staying here, as long as the old sub is available for reference. There’s a wealth of information in there.

You should ignore the children. Their reddit addiction is getting to them and no matter how you explain it, they will just keep having tunnel vision.

I don’t think there is any difference between Restricted and Private. Both are achieving the same thing for the current purpose (zero activity), so adding those 2 up makes sense. If no one can see that, then it’s best to not waste time in trying to explain it to them.

It feels kind of telling reading your responses. If you wanted it open you would have gone with the option that got the most votes:" open back up".
