I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the sub for a joke wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this sub is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.
You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love the show and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this sub is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find this sub closed for the sake of irony. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.

Sorry if this title isn't very clear. This dude is getting harassed in other threads despite his original comment technically being true all along and felt I had to share

how much do you think the moderators were compensated for all that hard work?
1 clubby789 2020-02-21
I’d wager that it wasn’t much at all

do you think they would do it for no pay whatsoever?

This shit is like a Bolivian disinformation experiment or something to see just how little information people need to make a decision
