edit: Reddit admin says "this is a bug and has been reversed".

r/IsElonDeadYet is still banned though and r/whitepeopletwitter is still under a 72-hour temp ban for "glorifying violence or doxing" against Elon's DOGE crew.

tinfoil hat on reddit admins got a threat from elon, so to cover up any mass hysteria from banning the problematic subs directly, they "accidentally" ban a bunch of random subs along with their actual targets.

Now everyones talking about r/boobs and whatever, they're restoring service whilst quietly keeping the anti musk subs banned without anyone giving a shit

Almost certainly got threatened with a lawsuit or something. This isn't the first time they've done an "accidental" mass banning and then restored some of the subreddits but not the the ones they actually wanted to get rid of all along.
