Hot take — maybe it was Beehaw that was getting too big too quickly, then?
They decided to take on an enormous workload, running so many communities, communities that then became the defacto standard communities for those topics.
This only solves the problem for you. It doesn't solve the problem for the community, nor does it scale well (if everyone does it, then you're just gonna repeat the same dance over and over).
Oh, you're not wrong, I'm sure it'll all shake out relatively quickly.
That seemed to be a situation where the head mod was going against the wishes of the other mods. Not sure how I feel about it, personally, but it's not quite as simple as "Spez made the subreddit open against the wishes of everyone involved".
Excuse me but the only people we eat around here are the rich.
