The Minecraft subreddit won't be a source for official Mojang communications going forward.
![Minecraft's devs exit its 7 million-strong subreddit after Reddit's ham-fisted crackdown on protest](https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/pictrs/image/uv3Wt9avAY.jpg?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
The Minecraft subreddit won't be a source for official Mojang communications going forward due to spez's idiocy and the API changes.
That's actually pretty crazy. Is this the first major official team to bail on reddit because of these changes? And such a hugely popular subject, too.

Did Reddit really think they can force other companies to use their platform?
4 0 ReplyUm... yes? Spez basically said that there's nowhere else for them to go. He was wrong, but that's what his answer was.

Microsoft: makes their own forum

I saw the tweet from slicedlime and was absolutely shocked! I wonder if we'll see more companies following suit?
