I’ve crept back to Reddit a couple of times over the last few days but honestly… there’s some weird communities that people are clinging on to that are now appearing on r/all that I’m just like “if this is what Reddit is to become, maybe it’s a good thing that I just walk away.”
I’m happy enough in here, provided we retain a good percentage of the old DT gang. We might need to recruit or hope that we gain enough traction to increase our numbers of great people eventually, but for now, this will have to do :)
Sadly, the r/NRL meatheads aren’t interested and don’t care if reddit fucks over their users so they aren’t interested in any further action or moving platforms. That’s probably my most frequented sub so I’m somewhat tied to it if I want to talk NRL in a non-discord setting.
Yeah - I think there’s something to be said for those “left over”. I followed the r/squaredcircle sub which was all wrestling-focussed. People didn’t want it to go dark but it did anyway, and now there’s a r/squaredcircle2 that’s already gaining members. Some narrow-minded individuals that want things to stay the way they are, without realising that things are slowly but surely slipping to a certain rhetoric when it comes to narrative and discourse (i.e.: a lot of right-wing influencers who are mods).
Really? I popped back there this morning and I don’t think that, besides Melbourne, any one of the subreddits that I frequent have gone permanently dark.
I was only ever active in the Melbourne subreddit but frequently lurked in many others, and it’s business as usual in all of them. I never went on r/all though so maybe that’s why I never noticed a dofference
someone made a r/squaredcircle2 but I feel like the worst people of that sub are the ones who didn’t understand the point of the protests in the first place. The whole “it doesn’t affect me so why should I bother?” kind of narrative. I mean, sure, you do you, but I don’t see how Reddit can improve under the dictatorship of u/spez

All the metal related subreddits have faded to black.

Underrated comment
r/cricket and r/afl are open, if melbourne opens back up then I’m all set.
