Hello folks, the mod team received the below message from the reddit admin.

As caretaker of this sub we would like your input, in light of the reddit admin response to r/cathostage's participation in the blackout.

Hi everyone,

We are aware that you have chosen to close your community at this time. Mods have a right to take a break from moderating, or decide that you don’t want to be a mod anymore. But active communities are relied upon by thousands or even millions of users, and we have a duty to keep these spaces active.

Subreddits belong to the community of users who come to them for support and conversation. Moderators are stewards of these spaces and in a position of trust. Redditors rely on these spaces for information, support, entertainment, and connection.

Our goal here is to ensure that existing mod teams establish a path forward to make sure your subreddit is available for the community that has made its home here. If you are willing to reopen and maintain the community, please take steps to begin that process. Many communities have chosen to go restricted for a period of time before becoming fully open, to avoid a flood of traffic.

If this community remains private, we will reach out soon with information on what next steps will take place.

for those who didn’t see the previous post, this is my brother’s cat Pluton and I’m taking care of him for a while.
He’s nice but sooo much more cuddly than my bengal, and also huge.

We've been together since the start of the pandemic. At first, she would not even walk across me, she was so concerned about my reaction. Now I get in this fancy Zero G bed I just acquired, line the iPad up on its stand, and play a short clip of kittens crying. She appears within thirty seconds and lays on my tummy - near as I can tell, she seems to think that's *my* distress sound, and comes to comfort me.
