So is that some kind of workaround to protest the API changes while still technically discussing something iPhone related, to avoid mods being removed?
Whatever the reason, I love it.
Moderators are unable to stop Reddit from reopening their Subreddits because keeping them closed may be seen as a breach of the terms of service. However, they can alter the Subreddit’s rules and reopen it with these changes, especially if the community agrees. This action is not forbidden by any Reddit rule (so far). Community consensus is reached through voting. As a result, the Subreddit becomes inundated with low-value content such as pictures and memes, which puts more pressure on the platform as it currently desperately strives to increase its value.
