Did r/ScienceBasedParenting just shut down?

@lzimmer I mean I guess we could always tag the mod and ask for screenshots, we have all the communication in modmail forever unless it's been purposely deleted. Idk. Admins aren't going to issue a 3 day ban because you sent somebody one word, it just doesn't work that way my friend.

@hurrix I came across r/sciencebasedparentALL like 5 minutes ago while searching what’s going on with the one shut down. It doesn’t seem as active but hopefully people will shuffle over there now.

@samira742 Yes! Let’s get an active page going!!! Thanks for linking.

@hurrix Same! I need the balance

@hurrix I made a new one r/parentingscience. It's still in its baby stage but is surprisingly active for how new it is. We would love if people joined and helped build the community. Everyone over there seems genuinely helpful.

@christfollower1993 I am not familiar of how stuff like this works on Reddit. What does this mean really? Does it mean the mods of the sub shut it down? Or does it mean Reddit itself shut down the sub for some reason?

 

[charity1]

@lozzymagoo Almost certainly the former. I've been on reddit a decade and only have ever heard of Reddit shutting down illegal (like selling drugs or teaching you how to use darkweb sites), hate-based, or extremely violent video subreddits.

@lozzymagoo Nah, no one shut anything down. That wasn't the best phrasing.

The sub is just set to private, meaning all the content is there, but no one has access to it until the unhinged one makes it public again.

@lzimmer As a mod (not of this sub), if you like the other sub, I would take this down. I wouldn't reopen a sub if I saw this post/comments about it!

Mods work hard and no one appreciates us lol, we get blamed for everything negative but never thanked for the positives. This thread is a good example of why it's a bad deal. I want to get out of it as well, I think most people find it depressing.

@sunshine44u The mod in th subreddit is quite unhinged, I've been banned from there too with no warning for participating in discussion and violating a rule that the moderator hadn't event posted at the time I made my comment.

 

[sunshine44u]

@forumfan I’m a mod. We’re all “unhinged” when someone breaks the rules and we have to, ya know, actually mod.

Warn someone? Unhinged. Make a sticky with new rules that everyone begged for? Unhinged. Ban trolls everyone complains about? Unhinged. It means nothing more than “I don’t like what this mod says”.
