    r/mildlyinteresting did not encourage it, and Reddit lied about that, and their removal and suspension was revoked by a different admin than the one who removed and suspended them. Here is the post, “The Reddit Admins are lying - r/MildlyInteresting did NOT allow or encourage users to post ANY sexually explicit content, see draft of now-deleted announcement”:

      Given how that’s been going, and how that subreddit apparently got caught in the crossfire, it kind of makes you wonder what’s going on behind the scenes at Reddit. With a different person revoking it and apologising, it kind of seems like the admins aren’t really communicating to each other, and that some are putting out fires that the others are lighting.

      EDIT: No Apology, just an explanation.

          In the comments on one of the articles on The Verge about this, someone claiming to be a mod over there said they were reinstated. I know you can’t really prove that, but maybe that’s where this notion comes from?

            I think there was a comment later, in another thread, where all the reinstated mods later had their permissions changed so that literally the only thing they could do was modmail, nothing else. Don’t completely remember if it was the same group of mods, but I think it was.

              It was. Seems the admins are infighting now. They were all banned and removed, then reinstated, then had all their mod permissions removed a few hours later

          Yet disorder and ambiguous goals/requirements by management tends to have a domino effect.
