What's the deal with the recent activity on the old subreddit? (awful.systems)

I'm seeing two posts from the mods that are sneerworthy content that aren't meta-posts announcing the de-sunsetting of r/sneerclub. I just wanna know what's up.

FWIW, I will stay here and probably won't participate in the subreddit out of laziness.

in a typical reddit fashion the post is getting downvotes despite just asking the obvious question.

    I'm a bit weirded out that new posts on a year dead subreddit suddenly get ~50-100 upvotes

    to be honest, I’m getting a weird vibe off the resurrected /r/SneerClub in general. that might just be me though

    /u/completely-ineffable, who founded the sub, and closed the sub a year ago, literally just made a post! That’s all that happened! I’m distantly in touch with that person! Everything is fine! In fact I’d almost be tempted to theorise it was all a dumb ruse to see if you lot turned out to be crazy people!

    And it seems to have worked wonders!

    Who even put the term “resurrected” in there? It’s one post, followed by a smattering of others including posts bickering about the supposed resurrection! What monstrous goings on are people permitting themselves to imagine?

    “Why, for fuck’s sake?”, as an illucutionary act, seems to do a lot more than simply “asking the obvious question”

    But it is, indeed, in typical reddit fashion to omit that sort of thing from one’s own complaint about the response one got to one’s provocation, notwithstanding the traditional SneerClub response to user’s complaints, which is of course “if you want to leave, but can’t, we can help with that”
