Nah, those two aren't getting unbanned, they were pretty much the last of the critics of the two things that Reddit's admins and powermods absolutely love, gurlcoque (TiA) and extremist lefty authoritarianism (SJiA).

Their efforts to expose the NPCs' increasing excesses in both areas, and the consequent efforts of normal and sane people to finally start pushing back in any capacity, came too fucking close lately to reaching the userbase that Reddit wants to offer to investors as part of its planned IPO.

To add, I have no suspicions that users would rather stay here than on reddit. Saidit TiA will grow back to what it was. Reddit has such a control on language that is going to cause it to fail. Saidit is far more open with protection of free-speech so long as its not an attack or unwarranted, etc.

While the idea of Reddit failing is a nice one, I don't think it'll realistically happen. The people in charge--and by this I mean the money people, not the degenerate powermods and their enabling admins--have too much invested in offering Reddit (and its valuable userbase) in that IPO that they're hungering for.

With Tumblr serving as a warning of what'll happen when the content control purges in the dubious claim of user "safety" get to be too much--they basically set fire to the site in their efforts to purge anything that they deemed kiddie porn (which, undoubtedly, there was some of)--Reddit's ultimate masters will probably start to clamp down on the crazies at some point. Especially if there's a rising level of pushback on any of the various things that the mods and admins have spent the last few years shoving down everyone's collective throat.
