Wait, doesn't reddit remove subs that are considered unmoderated?

They archived interestingasfuck, so there are no new submissions. But based on the later posts, it looked like they might have left it an unmoderated free for all for a bit.

Yes, but Reddit has been using the term to mean whatever they want to remove moderators from protesting subs.

It's pretty clear that the dont believe anything they say. The breaking point for me was when spez started talking about voting on moderators, a change that is absolutely impossible to practically achieve if you think about it for even a minute. They are just saying and doing whatever they want because they plan on selling the scorched earth anyway.
