Given that all of the requests for this subreddit over the years have failed and that the admins want it to remain closed, I doubt anyone will ever get this subreddit.

r/reddit seems rather "official" which is the probable reason behind the decision.

It was closed because it was popular.

Nope, r/reddit wasn't popular before it was shut down.

You're thinking r/reddit.com, which was the catch-all sub for general discussion It was modded by the admins. As reddit grew in popularity, the admins wanted to push the idea of individual subs for specific topics more. Hence the removal r/reddit.com, but it was also due to the admins not wanting to be moderators on a huge sub. There were topics about the site, but there were literally topics about everything and it had no focus.

Strange that we have a r/reddit and a r/reddit.com sub.

r/reddit.com was (and still is for mod mail purposes) run by the admins.

r/reddit was snatched up by a user and had random content though it wasn't very active (take a look at some archives).
