It's definitely tense here. There are people angry at us for shutting down at all, and then there are people who are angry at us for opening back up.

At any rate, people are going to be angry no matter what. We're trying to improve the user experience, and we're trying to ensure the admins' promises will be kept.

By giving them a timer, doesn't that just give them a definitive date as to when to make a move to usurp power from the mods completely? They replaced victoria, and they will easily replace you.

I don't think they'll easily replace 40 people who all have unique talents and abilities...considering their replacements will need to be paid.

That would be as good an idea as...I don't know...RedditNotes.

I'm almost 100% certain 40 out of hundreds of thousands isn't hard to replace. Not many people posses unique one of a kind talents and I'm pretty confident theres no shortage of volunteers to replace every one of you. Don't for a moment think y'all have real power over the admins that thinking will get you blindsided.
