postmarketOS,

So has sent us this nice "either you open up your subreddit or else" letter too. We will keep the subreddit private, let's see what their "next steps" look like.

> Our goal here is to ensure that existing mod teams establish a path forward to make sure your subreddit is available for the community that has made its home here.

We have established a path forward, it is using the instead of Reddit.

mikro2nd,

@postmarketOS Imagine if every subreddit simply migrated to their own #fediverse instance... 🤔

Sure there'd probably be some loss of discoverability, but what else? What upsides might flow out of that?

(Disclosure: I've not used #reddit much in a decade or more. So "out of touch" and "probably missing vital data-points"...)

From what I've seen, the biggest resistance against this isn't from moderators, but Reddit users. Many simply don't want the hassle of moving.

Right now r/startrek are running parallel communities, a lemmy instance and their old sub-reddits.

sourcerer,

@maegul @mikro2nd @postmarketOS

And that's ok, at least we will get better people.

Capitalist fascism in action.

losttourist,

@postmarketOS For what it's worth my small subreddit had the exact same message almost a week ago.

It's still private and there have been no "next steps". Yet.

I didn't engage with them at all. Not even a simple reply. I suspect some of the subs that have been forced back open have been those that have replied to that with a "fuck u Spez" or similar.

@postmarketOS Nice subreddit you got there, be a real shame if anything were to happen to it…

@postmarketOS Hello @postmarketOS , followed ​:blobcat:​

captainepoch,

@postmarketOS Maybe putting in your website that you don't support reddit as a support platform and, instead, to point people to proper support channels will be a good thing to do :blobokhand:

shiba,

@captainepoch @postmarketOS this, also eventually make it clear on the subreddit that it's an unofficial unsupported space.
