I love the Malicious Compliance from the moderators lately, and the fact John Oliver is just becoming the ultimate meme symbol for the movement and protest.
I'm done with Reddit. This latest debacle prompted me to look into Reddit's history, had no idea before. What an awful company. Also a community not subject to corporate interest is better for everyone. Anyway, I'm not going back there so if the sub gets closed down, no skin off my nose. Yeah do what you will.
Hey Captain, this instance seems to be hosted in Germany? Is that correct? How safe are we from the empire? What is our battle plan if this gets shut down? Shouldn't you make an account on one of the other instances so we can coordinate if this does get shut down?
(Also, is it weird to post 2 top level comments? I feel like editing my other one wouldn't get the attention needed, since you don't get notified for edits.)
The salt in the comments of the announcement are glorious though. Yeah, poor pirates getting robbed of their sub. Pirates never have to go to various different websites to get what they want, yep.
Wow, that was my first time back on reddit since all this happened, and even though it was for good, I still feel a bit... unclean. Like I helped them out by sending traffic their way
I deleted my accounts and refuse to click Reddit links, so I can‘t vote or even see it, but I hope whatever option is most annoying to the admins wins.
I would prefer lemmy, you are free from all the reddit shenanigans, plus if there's any problems we could make our own server and still stay here, much more reasonable
