Anyone notice how r/fitness is now private?

[larryicels]

Is this a temporary thing? Anyone still have access to the sub?

@larryicels Bring them all here we will convert them

 

[user385]

@larryicels A rogue mod may have shut it down or defaced their sidebar or something.

Reddit can be fickle like that.

 

[cathy73]

@larryicels There'a thread over in r/rhelp where we were discussing earlier, maybe joining the two might help.

 

[idahovandal]

@cathy73 r/help not r/rhelp lol.

 

[cathy73]

@idahovandal Whoops, maybe we it’s a sign we need to make “rhelp” to solve this case

 

[cathy73]

More usefully sorry, here’s the thread in question, and I’ll link to a comment that seems to offer a potential explanation that aligns with some initial speculation (all unconfirmed as far as I know.)

@idahovandal Here's a sneak peek of /r/help using the top posts of the year!

#1: Did Reddit Get Rid of the Free Awards?

#2: I've found a child porn subreddit, what do I do?

#3: POP UP AD TO OPEN REDDIT IN APP

@larryicels Yeah (I only found this by searching for "r/fitness"). Really weird. I was a member but also got booted. Something must've happened.

 

[bible4ang]

@adviceplease How did you get booted from r/fitness? Lol

 

[adviceplease]

@bible4ang Everyone is. It's either been deleted or set to private

 

[larryicels]

@adviceplease It says private. We must have offended them with our tempeh and regard for animal sentience.

 

[danny1]

@larryicels wait what happened?

 

[struggling_soul_1995]

@larryicels i didn’t notice and i can’t get onto it now

 

[cathy73]

@larryicels Here’s a post from an r/fitness mod (I think), which may offer a possible explanation …

 

[tokitee]

@cathy73 Jesus what a stupid post

 

[larryicels]

@cathy73 Ah that’s probably it. Good find.

 

[deacongirl]

@cathy73 Useful. Thank you.
