Sysadmin

No, we will not be going dark. The reasons are simple:

1. This form of protest has proven ineffective on reddit repeatedly.

2. Shutting down the sub on a Monday will have an adverse impact on our readers, including possible production issues.

3. We have avoided reddit "politics" intentionally and will continue to do so.

You are more than welcome to avoid participating on that day which will make the message far clearer to reddit through their metrics than shutting down the sub to folks in need who would be here anyways.

It's disappointing to see the r/sysadmin mods take this stance, but I guess in a way it's a good thing that they've shown their true colors.

Here's hoping that c/sysadmin thrives and replaces it in the near future as the go-to place for all sysadmin stuff.
