So I've been MIA for a while because of personal circumstances and in that time missed a *lot*. I'll be honest, I felt bad about leaving...
The Kbin experiment was ultimately brief as we all meet the same fate in the end, thanks Riot.
Similar to the subreddit, this magazine will stay open until the Vanguard patch hits, then shortly after it's confirmed and we've said our goodbyes, it'll be restricted to read-only to preserve history.
Hi r/leagueoflinux,
Riot are aware of the crashing immediately upon entering a game after patch 13.22. The issue is (seemingly) not exclusive to Linux ----------
The r/leagueoflegends patch 13.22 bug megathread includes many reports from Windows users with the same issues. Additionally, an announcement in the client reads:
> > > We have identified an issue where the game closes while loading or immediately after loading is completed, and we are currently working on fixing it. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. > >
If the issue persists for Linux users after patching is released from Riot and confirmed working by the broader community, r/leagueoflinux will reopen with immediate effect to collaborate on necessary fixes.
It has been longer than I would have liked since the last major announcement in this subreddit. I am also aware that many of you share the same sentiment. Although the subreddit is still currently restricting new submissions, we are actively discussing amongst the mods the best way to move forward with the community. Expect a more detailed announcement to follow. Thanks everyone for your patience, your feedback is being heard.
The global reddit situation has devolved to the point where reddit admins have been overtly lying and actively changing their site policies in order to remove and replace protesting moderators, despite having previously claimed they would “respect the community’s right to protest", among many other lies.
r/leagueoflinux is still restricted and actively polling for feedback in response to the ever-evolving situation. Please continue to share your thoughts in the sticky thread.
In the meantime, League of Linux has begun accepting submissions, including support requests, on Kbin at kbin.social/m/leagueoflinux
Rules are identical across both r/leagueoflinux and m/leagueoflinux
Guides and other information about Kbin can be found on /r/RedditAlternatives, r/KbinMigration, and their official documentation. I am not as intimate with Kbin as I am reddit, of course, so you'll likely see many changes to the 'magazine' (subreddit) over the weekend.
As a short-n-sweet reminder: I launched leagueoflinux.org as the full-time replacement of the wiki this week as well; it's open source, naturally :)
I have not yet worked on the Discord/Revolt side of things. I'll update on that again this weekend. I wanted to make the announcement regarding Kbin sooner rather than later as it's unclear how the situation on reddit will continue to develop moving forward.
I have been, and will continue to, monitor the evolution of the protest and responses closely. I sincerely don't know what lies ahead for this site at large moving forward, nor for the fate of r/leagueoflinux and now m/leagueoflinux either. Things evolve quite rapidly and have only continued to escalate in intensity so far.
Fuck u/spez for actively sabotaging one of the last major bastions of Internet forum culture, and for showing a disgusting level of apathy and contempt towards the users, moderators, contributors, and developers who were fundamental to the success of your site. Resign you greedy, disrespectful, pig.
