In the comments on one of the articles on The Verge about this, someone claiming to be a mod over there said they were reinstated. I know you can’t really prove that, but maybe that’s where this notion comes from?
they have been reinstated, thats confirmed and you ca go look and confirm for yourself, im talking about i never saw an apology from any admin or reddit
My mistake, it wasn’t an apology, just an explanation stating that the subreddit was caught up in some crossfire.
I think there was a comment later, in another thread, where all the reinstated mods later had their permissions changed so that literally the only thing they could do was modmail, nothing else. Don’t completely remember if it was the same group of mods, but I think it was.
