Reddit gives you the best of the internet in one place. Get a constantly updating feed of breaking news, fun stories, pics, memes, and videos just for you. Passionate about something niche? Reddit has thousands of vibrant communities with people that share your interests. Alternatively, find out what’s trending across all of Reddit on r/popular. Reddit is also anonymous so you can be yourself, with your Reddit profile and persona disconnected from your real-world identity.

Surprising nobody, Reddit Corp threatening a gaming sub of a fanatically anti-corporate video game doesn’t go as they’d hoped.

The mod team have basically decided that “Fuck Reddit” is the way forward, and appear to have practically total support of their entire sub for the choice taken.

Presumably, we’re about to get a Cyberpunk community on Fediverse soon. :p

    The mod’s response to Reddit, in case people don’t want to go there:

    According to them, your favourite subreddits going NSFW is too much for you to understand. The infamous Mod Code of Conduct messaged us, demanding we switch back, because “you’re likely confused by all the NSFW content you’ve been seeing”.

    They didn’t allow us to reply, so we couldn’t explain that this is a subreddit for an 18+ game, nor has any of our content changed. This subreddit should have been NSFW already, but we’d never thought to change it until recently.

    Until we change it back we’re in violation of Reddit’s sitewide rules. We’re not going to change it back, because this is a sexually explicit game, and also fuck them.

    If we’re removed at least we got to go out on an fantastically fun flair event (don’t worry this won’t stop your flair from being added I promise), and if this sub changes back from NSFW then you know you’re no longer in control of it.

    Rest assured; we have 77 fans all over Reddit, with r/lowsodiumcyberpunk being a decent fall back. We’ve never worked together on anything, but we’ve made an effort to stay on good terms with one another, and I trust them to take care of you all.

    Edit: this has hit r/all choombas so assume there are a lot of people here just to feed on the drama

    Some time after posting this here, the mods added a second edit:

    Edit: since hitting r/all there have been a bunch of accounts created in the last month attacking us and defending Reddit admins with a vigour I’ve never seen before. That seems suspicious, at the very least

    So it seems that someone (probably Reddit themselves) caught wind of this and attempted to astroturf it with bots… Now who’s recently been caught doing that?

            I didn’t want to because it felt like stealing c4’s post, so I just upvoted and boosted it instead.

            Valid point though, I edited the main post so that it links to their comment now.

          There’s also libreddit, which seems to be an entirely separate project to teddit. Kind of like the Federation, it’s software anyone can run and there are quite a few instances out there

        My favorite part is the accuracy of all the admin boot licking accounts in the comments never having actually taken part in said subreddit.

        Yeah, not sus at all. /s

          For some reason /r/SubredditDrama is awash in admin bootlickers these days. Makes the threads on these subjects rather unfun to read.

            They stayed open during the blackout and the bootlickers used the place to complain about the protests. And when the blackout ended, the bootlickers never left …

            Trust me, before I deleted my account there were so many users in the sub salivating at all the unfolding drama. While they didn’t participate in the blackout, I wonder how many migrated to Fedi. Might indicate why there isn’t as much activity as I remember.

              SRD have been having a goddamn feeding frenzy the past few weeks.

              But I could definitely seem some of them getting burned out from excess joy. :D

              I am one of them. Only that I wallowed in the drama AND THEN participated in the protests.

              I lurk there once in a while and yes, it is fucking dead. That whole sub just fell dead with the only active posts not even being drama at all.

              Compare it what it looked like two months ago. Back then I thought that sub would be the last one to still stand, before it too imploded. But no! Everyone who made that sub so funny already migrated here (love y’all, you beautiful fucks) and all that’s left are these sad excuses of posters and commenters.

                After all that hype of how dramatic things would be…yesterday half a dozen posts down on the front page and the posts are 2 days old. Buckets and buckets of popcorn all laid waste…a shell of what it once was…all the buttery goodness is lost in time…like tears in rain.
