Looks like Reddit is forcing another sub open, but there are users advocating changing the sub to be about actual steam.

What does it mean to force a sub open? Did Reddit remove the mods ability to make the sub private?

They are sending mods messages that they need to open up their subs or they will replace them with mods who will open them.

They’re removing the mods that keep it closed and install whomever they choose to run the newly reopened subreddit. That or sufficiently threaten the mods in place into making it open. Bad optics either way
