As with many other subreddits, /r/LegalAdviceUK (which had been dark since the start of the blackout) has been sent a thinly-veiled threat by Reddit.

So they've reopened in order to start moving the entire community of 810,000 subscribers to somewhere else.

As you can imagine there are a number of legal professionals who moderate that sub, and they really don't take kindly to being threatened. They sign off their reopening message with "Fuck /u/Spez and long live John Oliver." but for the real fun you might want to look up a very famous British legal case they reference, Arkell v Pressdram 1971.

add in some jealously towards 3rd party apps providing better service, wasting time and money on failed reddit NFTs and avatars, general cost-cutting moves with post-pandemic layoffs and closing API (like nobody is going to waste even more of their bandwidth with other types of scraping) and you have spez the prepper techbro playing CEO
