Could they be maliciously complying with the new (since 2023) Reddit rules for moderators? A lot of subreddits closed, and then Reddit replaced their moderator lists and reopened them (most of those subs are now shit). Maybe the one you mentioned is avoiding running afoul of the don't close your sub rule.
Same here. r/ProgrammingLanguages was great until about four or five years ago. Now the contributions guide is mostly about what you may not post and you almost need a lawyer to find out what is allowed, and the mods again have another opinion about this than what is written and just delete stuff. The result is that I didn't see an interesting post in month.
