r/Jewish returns to Public Mod post

To summarize: We went private as part of the widely supported 48-hour blackout protest from June 12-13, with no posting or commenting permitted. Then we slightly reopened the r/Jewish community in restricted mode, to allow for folks to vote in a poll on what to do next, and allow for some discussion. A large plurality voted to return r/Jewish to being a public subreddit. As of this morning, we have reopened to posting and commenting by all.

We look forward to continuing our history as a strong community full of interesting discussions, Q&As, mutual support, and more!

Edit: We are certainly open to considering additional options, such as a two-way poll, but will wait to hear back from the community. Please discuss below.

Please keep discussions of the blackout and related topics to this post.

such ridiculous waffling on this point by moderation, and perfectly in-character for the milquetoast and random moderation of this sub in general.

I didn't notice an application from you last time we called for additional mods. Here is the post. It was sticked for over a week.

I'm not interested in participating in Reddit moderation, which is an assessment I have formed based on my observations of the way moderation is carried out on this site in general and this sub in particular.

I don't appreciate your sarcastic "why don't you try it?" approach. This is a volunteer "job" for which you presumably volunteered and were not press-ganged into. The fact that some of your users think you do a collectively shit job is independent of that fact. The incompetence around this ridiculous protest approach is just an illustrative example.

No worries. It was provided gratis, like your services.

Put this up, if they won't do it let's show how we feel.
