Still spunky at 11 years old!
Death to all who reject Avis!
Hellmans mayo huh? Guess I'll be switching brands!
I dont see anything else on the list thankfully.
"Statement From The Moderators Hello, r/antiwork! As you're probably aware, r/antiwork has been set to private until recently in solidarity with the sitewide protest against Reddit's attempt to kill third-party apps. At the start of the protest, we received assurance from Reddit administration that mods have a right to protest and to set their subs private. Today, we received a message from Reddit that our mod team will be replaced if we do not open up the subreddit immediately.
The important takeaway here is Reddit does not care about this community and Reddit does not care about you. They see you as nothing more than a statistic to monetize. They do not care about the quality of this community. They do not care about the desires of the community or the mod team. We set the subreddit private to protect the community from the changes Reddit intends to force through, and Reddit is forcing the subreddit open because a worse user experience for you is more profitable for them.
Going forward, the mod team is going to lose some very important tools that we've relied on to keep you safe from spammers and scammers. This means we're going to have to reassess our rules and procedures in order to serve you more effectively. The mod team will keep you updated on any developments. We thank you for your understanding.
Many thanks,
The r/antiwork mod team"

Basically, if they didnt open the subs, Reddit would replace them with pro-reddit mods and open it anyway. The lesser of two evils was to open it and prevent pro-reddit mods destroy the community. Solidarity also comes with understanding. Reddit is driving a wedge into the community. They want the community to attack each other instead of the real enemy, Reddit. Dont turn on the Mods, try and find a solution to fight reddit instead of infighting.

For me it was always about information. I like learning new things and having access to current events, facts, documentaries, feedback, insights as well as learning resources. Im completely lost here. I subscribed to communities, but I have no idea what else Im missing from other instances.
"Lets promote going IPO by blocking everyone access!" The thought process......
Thank you for the post!
The Orville show touched on this with the Krill species. Highly aggressive territorial beings acting in the name of thirr God, Avis.
