The Steam subreddit also joined the protest. Then, the Reddit administrator forced me to choose between publishing or deleting the forum, so I chose to publish it, but continued to protest, instead of 'Steam' instead of 'steam' or ' It turned into a subreddit where images of 'steam engine' are posted.

Part of the post looks like this:
