Their announcement doesn’t strike me as all that alarming. I could be mistaken.
It sounds like their mods have watched an unexpected expressway arrive at their door this week, Douglas Adams-style, and so they’re closing the door momentarily to evaluate what the new traffic will look like. Honestly feels reasonable, unless I’m misunderstanding it.
The message seems to be that this isn’t meant to be a permanent change.
Tangentially it took me absolute years to start reading smh.com.au as “Sydney Morning Herald.com.au” and not “shaking my head.com.au.”
Mainly because the Herald’s news always seems to radiate deep Florida-man energy.
