EDIT: GO DM MODS OF YOUR FAVORITE SUBREDDITS AND POLITELY ASK ABOUT MIGRATION!: something as simple as “Hey, I love this community but I no longer use reddit, will you guys be making a community on Kbin or other alternatives? Let me know please, thanks.” will work!! We need more voices encouraging migration!
ModCodeofConduct switching subs to SFW
POST ABOUT MODS FORCIBLY SWITCHING SUBS BACK TO SFW (teddit)
“What the users want” my ass. Reddit doesn’t give 2 shits about what the users want.
edit:
r/interestingasfuck removed as well

Tbh everyone just needs to leave reddit
Let the bots take over
It’s always been Stormfront 2.0 anyway
Fuck reddit
Yes, at this point, there is really no fucking saving it or hoping for changes, they will go as far as they need to go to get their profits back up. It must be abandoned. The only time I ever spend on reddit is to convince people to migrate to kbin or lemmy (nicely, dont be annoying)
I find that a large majority of redditors are still somehow completely clueless about what’s happening.
So I made this little formatted summary of events inviting confused redditors to lemmy/kbin if anyone wants to copy/paste; seems to get people to understand.
Unfortunately, the majority will not care. Reddit’s app ranks first in iOS’ app store after Twitter. This is what Reddit wants, people to stop using third-party apps so that they can easily target ads to users.
Even a small portion of users switching to Lemmy/kbin (like us) will mean more competition in the long run.
Specially with great looking ios apps like Artemis in the works that you could easily recommend
I had no idea lemmy was a thing until r/piracy. More big subs need to switch
@OtakuAltair At this point I don’t care about redittors or reddit. It can go on to be wildly successful, doesn’t matter to me, I’ve moved on.
Alot of us wouldn’t be on here either if it wasn’t explained to us; I think the confused people deserve at least an explanation too
Username checks out?
What really worked for me was the https://sub.rehab website. When I found that, it made me realize I need to stick with the people who actually built the subs I love – the mods. Here I am.
this is great! thank you!
Also … Reddit is a private business where people were allowed to come in to chat and talk … don’t act surprised when the owners and managers change their minds for whatever reason and decide to kick you out.
It’s the company’s space, like the lobby of a shopping mall … people are freely allowed to come in, sit down and chat … don’t be surprised if the owners of the mall decide one day that they no longer like you any more and bring security in to escort you out.
You have no rights or privileges on a private social media site … you have temporary permissions … and those can be changed, disregarded, forgotten or done away with at the discretion of the owners at any time for any reason.
LEAVE REDDIT … you’re on someone else’s lawn and they don’t like you any more.
they won’t
i tried to move my 100k subscriber sub to kbin (i also offered two different chatrooms)
6 came to kbin and people started attacking me for having the sub closed (one person even resorted to transphobia like jesus fucking christ) and being “political” and one person even made their own version of my subreddit
moving is too much work (it’s actually not that much work, but since we now need two videos playing at the same time and can only watch those vids for 30 seconds, everything is “too much work”). that’s why people are still on facebook, twitter, instagram, and tiktok.
i’m very glad there’s an acceptable amount of activity on the “threadiverse” right now… but i just don’t have hope that everyone will leave.
I think your post demonstrates that it’s a good thing everyone won’t be coming here.
Ironically this API issue will kill bots, which was needed.
It will only slow them temporarily you don’t need api for bots
Yeah, it’ll only kill the useful ones in the long run.
Yeah. The unethical bots will just use scrapers, as they already do for the many websites that don’t offer APIs. They’re already violating ToS, so they don’t care. Ethical ones won’t have that option (at least not past the fairly low quota).
Correct. Now the bots will be constantly scraping the pages of every post which will be a much bigger burden on their servers.
I’m eager to see how reddit becomes a steaming turd after June 30th, that imbecile is gonna end up with nothing of value in his hands. Let’s see where that profit comes from then
Hilariously, a subreddit that I mod, with less than 700 subscribers and like, 4 slightly active users (3 of whom are mods), just got the threatening modmail. We only went private as a gesture of solidarity, there’s maybe one post a week so it’s not exactly a bustling community. I’d made the sub public for about an hour every couple of days in an effort to avoid this sort of thing, guess it didn’t work.

This morning’s news about the r/mildlyinteresting team being reinstated and unsuspended by a different admin - that’s confirmation that there’s internal conflict going on. Protests don’t work, my ass.
It would be nice to see some some of the admins go rogue also. I know it’s a lot to ask for people to sacrifice their jobs but some people still have ethics. And some people are in a positions where they can leave their job and pick up another one within hours or days if they’re in the demanding field.
The entire r/MildlyInteresting mod has just been REINSTATED - again without any communication or explanation

GO DM MODS OF YOUR FAVORITE SUBREDDITS AND POLITELY ASK ABOUT MIGRATION!
Please don’t do this. I’m a moderator of a sub (won’t say which one). From a personal standpoint I’m happy to use both platforms. Vilify me if you will. But I do not want to see messages from users asking if we’re going to migrate. That’s pestering and it won’t go well if that particular subreddit isn’t into it.
How else do you suggest bringing migration to their attention? I am a mod as well, I cannot see how someone politely asking if we are thinking about making a community on a diff platform can be perceived as pestering? It appears this is individual and not every mod will be annoyed and not every mod wont be annoyed.
edit: 10 people suggesting it to mods says “this is in higher demand than we thought, not just one random person’s suggestion that we can ignore, we need to consider taking action or addressing this” Which is how changes happen. mods need to listen to their users, thats the responsibility they volunteered to take on. As a commenter said below me: “If you are getting annoyed because so many of your users want to migrate, maybe you should consider migrating instead of demonizing your users?”
Jesus, this is escalating fast. I never actually thought admins would go to such crazy lengths. Such pathetic desperation!
I fully expected Reddit to fight dirty, but it’s still surreal watching the iron hand come down against the community. Silver lining, I hope this helps accelerate the migration to the fediverse.
I remember ten years ago sharing beers with admins who visited London. Back when there was a push for developing local communities and Global Reddit Meetup Day. There was good vibes and a feeling of mutual respect.
I met my wife through Reddit.
I still have so much affection for the site in my heart.
It’s just wild to me how much has changed.
Really glad I never got that Snoo tattoo now.
Reddit isn’t the first online community I watched outgrow itself into the grave. I guess it’s just the cycle of social media. Here’s hoping this time’s different.
