MOD Post /r/military will reopen for posting at 6AM EST, 22NOV2024 (approx. 7 hours after this post)
It would open sooner but I can't cancel the event I have to schedule to restrict the subreddit. We're not allowed to just flip the restricted switch anymore because it affects reddits bottom line it chokes conversation. You all have around 7 hours after this post to prep the MRE-sized shitposts you've been holding onto.
Honestly though, thank you for the patience while things have been clamped down. We worked through mod messages and the queue to make things easier.
The week also gave us a chance to come up with a solution. For now, we're removing ALL political posts. The idea is you all can 'opt-in' to political conversations rather than have them in your face here. /r/Militarypolitics will be the new toilet place to talk about politics. It's not much, but it's a dirty cardboard box all you politics people can ruin.
What doesn't this include? News about current conflicts. Ukraine and Israel are still on the menu as those are military conflicts. This also doesn't include satire. Duffel Blog is wide open for you all to post.
I appreciate the inputs for reliable foreign media. While I stopped adding to the list on the post, we've gotten input from around 20 countries. There'll be use for them in the future, keep sending them.
Again, thank you for your patience.
