but reddit's forced them to reopen the sub (yes, a piracy sub lmao)... let's see what kind of !maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world thing they come up with lol
No, but that is not what they said, they said they were forced to reopen. That happened in such a way: they sent a message to the main mod and told him to reopen or be replaced. He didn‘t respond within an hour, so they removed him as main mod and made some other mod who was willing to play ball the main mod.
Since there is always some sucker to be found on Reddit who enjoys taking orders and licking boots, no sub can really defend against this move by Reddit admins. Which is probably why some other mods decided to maliciously comply instead.
Me, I think anyone with some dignity would go out like the r/piracy mod did, don‘t respond and get removed and rebuild elsewhere.
Can't force people to use Reddit but they can make mods open subs or else they get booted and replaced by good little lap dogs. That's why DB0 opened up on Lemmy. But I'll never know why they force opened PIRACY lol
Reddit can tell moderators who have locked their sub that they have a choice of opening it, or get removed as moderators and be replaced by admin appointees.
I think the mods here need to start removing off-topic posts. Otherwise people see them and keep perpetuating the trend..
This is a community specifically
for the lemmy.world instance; not reddit. Please post content like this on lemmy.world/c/reddit. These off-topic posts are strangling out relevant posts here.
There's also lemmy.world/c/general for just general discussion.
I am the original creator of r/psychedelicartwork and made a Lemmy version at psychedelic_artwork or !psychedelic_artwork@psychedelia.ink . Not a ton of my users have seemed interested in moving over with me though unfortunately.
Just take it slow. Migrations tend to happen in waves, and we've got several more ahead of us even in the most ideal scenario for a Reddit exodus. The next pivot point will be at the end of the month when the bulk of account deletions will hit the server. From there it depends on peer pressure, how the quality of the site continues to decline, and how many more times /u/spez throws tantrums in the public media.
If you truly want to take your community with you, the best thing you can do is go cold turkey on Reddit yourself, regardless of whether you choose to self-delete or not. Deleting is better because it reduces temptation. From there, anyone who cares about timely updates from you will have to content themselves with waiting for others to repost, or they will need to follow you.
You'll have to wait for them to get tired of reddit's antics, in the meantime all we can do is create and make content for lemmy and kbin so that more people join us
I have onboarded one of the mods from r/PS5 to the mod team, and received an endorsement from them as an Alternate Community. They haven't shut down though.
It hasn't been moved entirely, but /r/stargate has a copy at !stargate@kbin.social (and one on squabble.io), although there appears to also be a larger corresponding community at !stargate@lemmy.world, that isn't partnered with the main sub.
