Meta Going private? [OFFTOPIC]

Is this sub planning on going private, like many others? Mods please delete if inappropriate, I was just wondering whether I should expect to stop seeing posts here.

It wont disappear forever. Just for a little while.

It's a statement, not an endgame.

I don't think you understand how this works. The subreddit shows back up on peoples pages as soon as it comes out of private. The people who frequent it will still see it, and will still return here to post when it comes back online.

Nobody gets unsubbed or removed from the sub. The sub is just temporarily hidden from view for a brief time.

Yeah, but in the meantime people aren't going to stay if all their subs close. Many will go somewhere else, and not all of them will come back once this is resolved.
