Great metaphor for reddit HQ's handling of the protests!

The other thing to keep in mind is that looks can be deceiving. Reddit has had over half a month to clean up things like r/all from the fallout of the protests.
But my guess is, if you ask someone at reddit if it's now gone back to normal, well, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/112071/Reddit-protest-plunges-user-engagement-site-activity-and-ad-portal & https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/86420/Six-verified-Reddit-employees-discussing-the-current-atmosphere-at-the
Got you covered on the last point: https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/86420/Six-verified-Reddit-employees-discussing-the-current-atmosphere-at-the
Agreed. That's exactly why I thought having the extra context on the timeline (so folks understood what "recent" was referring to) was good to know.
About nine months ago - it's from CMX Summit 2022, so either 14 or 15 of September 2022.
TIHI stood for Thanks, I Hate It. I never browsed but figure it was a meme sub on things to dislike.
Ah possible. Maybe Narwhal 1 was still able to get an exemption under this rule (because reddit never defined what an accessibility app was) and is just keeping mum about or downplaying the accessibility angle.
Yup. Count myself as one of the eye rollers.
Agreed. I just tried to state what they said - in my defense i never said that what they said made sense because as you just said it doesn't really make sense.
I'm sure users will step forward if they care.
This is the part I didn't quite get. Like I am sure that there were users who requested this sub in r/redditrequest after r/TIHI became unmoderated.
For some reason I don't understand, these requests did not pan out and it ended up getting shut down instead.
At the very least, users stepping forward doesn't seem to be enough on its own.
Thank you for your service!

TLDR reddit might not be restoring data that the user deleted, but there are some funky cases where it's easy to miss stuff when deleting manually. Which is exactly why Update #1 is so bad - it's basically impossible to delete everything without reddit's help.
