The Steam subreddit has been forced back open. (self.reddit)

Looks like Reddit is forcing another sub open, but there are users advocating changing the sub to be about actual steam.

all this malicious compliance is delicious!

Indeed.

If Reddit Inc's tactic is to pry open private subs and inject patsy mods, then there is only one thing left to do: deface them to destroy their utility.

steam should be about water vapor,
piracy should be about swashbuckling

/pics is already nothing but "sexy pics of John Oliver"
/gifs is similar

r/Art is on the John Oliver train as well, just in an artistic form.

Explainlikeimfive should mostly be "you'll learn about it when you're older".
Space should be pictures of empty rooms or walls.
AdviceAnimals should be random bits of advice one animal would give to another, like "see how that hole in the wall looks weird? That's a window. Don't fly into that."
AbsoluteUnits? Just pictures of items that have units marked on them, like a 20kg bag of mulch or 5L of water.
