On a semi-related note, anyone found a good MC Lemmy community?
That subreddit is, and has been for some time, an utterly atrocious place. It’s filled with low-effort posts and junk memes and interesting discussion is impossible. It’s barely moderated. The median age is 10.
As a 13-year MC player who is totally obsessed with the game, I literally unsubbed from /r/minecraft some time ago and didn’t miss it.
Here’s hoping we get some critical mass on Lemmy or Kbin to build a MC community for an actual MC community. It’s badly needed.
I completely lost faith in that subreddit since this happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2MbnYO2Xyw
There is [email protected] atleast.
The vote was promised to be respected and ended 70% in favor of going private… How does reddit expect to have any credibility left after this. Is there a point, there lies get so bad there actual illegal?
From a user on that post “it seems the majority of us want the subreddit open”
I’ve seen a lot of extreme aggressive shilling and astroturfing. But now we’re getting into straight gaslighting.
Reddit just keep giving me countless reasons to not use their service.
Their stance is “we don’t care what the users think - you WILL use our website and you WILL view our ads so that we WILL make money off you”.
So my response is: no, I won’t.
With relaxed moderation going forward. I hope it becomes the next /worldnews
The /r/minecraft mods were shitty sweats who applied rules selectively and ruined the community anyway, I’m surprised they gave enough of a shit to close down their only source of power in their life even temporarily. Oh well. At least it’ll still be there to corral all the 11 year olds spamming.
I’m not surprised at the actions of the Reddit admins anymore. I hope they protect while being “open” like pics or gifs have.
The only ones I’m aware of are [email protected] , or [email protected]
Closing it due to … a small number of people demanding it
Interesting way for them (the Reddit corp) to describe a majority
Reddit administrators even promised to help with the poll
The admins will be helping us and will provide us with a breakdown of votes by account age and sub activity.
and respect the results of the poll
If the results of the poll show the community wants us to participate and protest the changes, admins have promised us to respect that will and work on our demands.
Despite the results given by Reddit administrators themselves being clearly in favor of blackout, Reddit broke their promise forcing the subreddit to reopen.
Fuck spez.
