Looks like someone threw up a tracker checking on subreddit going dark. Live status looks interesting.
Edit: I’ve been watching this for a while now, can’t take my eyes off it. Looks like the next big block of subs is each hour mark with big one at mid-night PST (e.g., California). Gonna be fun 🤡
/r/PathofExile announced they’re locking themselves indefinitely. The mods have setup a Lemmy instance to replace the sub and are directing users there now.
There are a handful of others going dark indefinitely as well.
Of course PoE players would min/max to the extreme. Never expected anything less. Big balls move.
It’ll be interesting if it stays. I wouldn’t be surprised if the reddit admins force mods to reopen the subs, or just outright remove the offending mods.
They have done that before. KotakuInAction was shut down once by it’s founder who didn’t like the direction of the sub and the admins removed the mod that did it and reopened the sub with a new head mod.
I’d love to see Reddit try to replace 25K+ mods along with all their tools and bots. Not happening. The most they’ll do is whine about it, but I’m pretty sure even that won’t happen because their lawyers are definitely telling them to stfu right now.
Also this is my first comment (is it even called a comment on here? lol) on kbin after seeking refuge from Reddit, so hello kbin! Obligatory fuck u/spez.

Did you join? My request wasn’t accepted by now.
I did originally create an account there, but it was when they announced it. I’d reccomend reaching out to Multiplicity on the PoE discord as he runs the PoE lemmy server.
You should be able to post directly there using your current account though, it should be federated with most lemmy instances and kbin.
Thx
