I think it’s unnecessary, but I also understand. If they are “walking a very thin line” with the admins, like they said, then supporting the ProED replacement could very well earn them the same fate. However, the EDsupport subreddit is very supportive of the new ProED, and it’s looking like they want to help us. As far as I’m aware, they have not reached an agreement with the Reddit admins, and know they could be banned at any moment.
