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!

PART 1

PART 2

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.

If you guys wanna do more and get back at reddit, consider using a program that has gathered hundreds of their advertiser emails an emailing them to try and stop them from advertising, there is a email guide inside as well! USE BCC, NOT TO OR IT WILL SHOW ALL THE COMPANIES EVERYONE YOU EMAILED.

edit:

r/interestingasfuck removed as well

r/ThanksIHateit mod team removed

r/self mod team removed

edit 2:
from r/mildlyinteresting. restoration after they saw the backlash or mod team replacement? we dont know quite yet

r/mildlyinteresting update

edit 3: Reddit removed moderators behind the latest protests before restoring a few of them - restored by a different admin than the one that removed them…

    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.

          The exact reason not to get tattoos of weird corporate shit.

      We knew that this was a possibility since day one. The mods took a stand anyways, risking it all for the community. Still a shame to see it happen.

        What’s there to risk? Their unpaid labor? This is what spez doesn’t seem to realize

          Well, getting locked out is no fun. But yeah, you’re right, reddit loses out more (on the unpaid labour of love).

      “The protests didn’t do anything”
