most post or at least the ones i've tried aren't archived, they should at least have the subreddit read only having it unaccessible is moronic
i get what you are saying, sure its easy enough to copy the functionality, but what isn't easy to copy is the userbase, reddit isn't just a venue its a venue people are already going to.
I personaly have no problems with the official app (i actually didn't really know about the others until all this) but i get those people who liked the alterative apps feel slighted by the changes, but in this situation i feel like the wants of the many outweigh the wants of the few, I'm not saying this place should be shut down, by all means this place can stay up for those who don't want to use reddit anymore, but that the two places can co-exist.
which isn't gonna happen in any reasonable amount of time, there are fractions of a fraction of users on this platform, and the outreach is horrendous if you didn't see the post about this place before the subreddit went down chances are you don't/ won't even know it exists
bro the problem i have with this site is that its has none of the userbase and none of the backlog of the subreddit, creating a new subreddit would have the exact same issues. especially when there is an already existing subreddit that is just being held hostage
there have been many times over the last 2 or 3 days that i have tried to find the answer to a question or look for a suggestion or guide, and right there at the top of google is a reddit post with the exact thing i was looking for answered, but i can't see it because its down. instead I have trudge through the forums or wiki to find an answer, when my question could have been answer 5-10 minutes beforehand. I love the wiki i use it constantly, but its not always the best for finding niche things.
even crazier looking at the sitewide number there is less users on the whole of lemmy then there was on the warframe subreddit
no one is forcing you to keep using reddit, all power to ya if you keep not using it, but trying to force people to sign up for a barren alternative isn't it
i was talking about the people actually on the warframe site you can see there is only ~900 subscribers to the warframe community here
be realistic man reddit isn't gonna change its mind because r/warframe is inaccessible, this protest is just hurting players
bro there is less than 1000 people on this site, thats a minuscule amount compared to the userbase of the reddit, people arent migrating
Made a account just to post this, all you're doing is inconveniencing players of warframe, its obvious this is a failed experiment a majority of users aren't going to sign up for yet another site (especially one most people dont know anything about) just for warframe, and restricting access to the trove of posts on the subreddit and a place for the community to share content is just damaging to the game.
