Surprising nobody, Reddit Corp threatening a gaming sub of a fanatically anti-corporate video game doesn’t go as they’d hoped.
The mod team have basically decided that “Fuck Reddit” is the way forward, and appear to have practically total support of their entire sub for the choice taken.
Presumably, we’re about to get a Cyberpunk community on Fediverse soon. :p
The mod’s response to Reddit, in case people don’t want to go there:
Some time after posting this here, the mods added a second edit:
So it seems that someone (probably Reddit themselves) caught wind of this and attempted to astroturf it with bots… Now who’s recently been caught doing that?
See c4’s post below for a Teddit link of the whole thread: https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/144077/Reddit-threatens-the-mods-of-r-CyberpunkGame-the-main-subreddit-for#entry-comment-559801

Wow, I’ve never heard of Teddit. I wonder how long they will still be around.
There’s also libreddit, which seems to be an entirely separate project to teddit. Kind of like the Federation, it’s software anyone can run and there are quite a few instances out there
Thank you. I should have done that myself tbh.
I think you still can
I didn’t want to because it felt like stealing c4’s post, so I just upvoted and boosted it instead.
Valid point though, I edited the main post so that it links to their comment now.
My favorite part is the accuracy of all the admin boot licking accounts in the comments never having actually taken part in said subreddit.
Yeah, not sus at all. /s
Hehe, and also not there too:-).
But has it reached r/SubredditDrama?
It has not. SRD is slacking these days.
SRD enthusiasts probably all OD’d in the last couple weeks.
For some reason /r/SubredditDrama is awash in admin bootlickers these days. Makes the threads on these subjects rather unfun to read.
They stayed open during the blackout and the bootlickers used the place to complain about the protests. And when the blackout ended, the bootlickers never left …
It sounds like it’s just reddit drama at this point no more subreddit…
Trust me, before I deleted my account there were so many users in the sub salivating at all the unfolding drama. While they didn’t participate in the blackout, I wonder how many migrated to Fedi. Might indicate why there isn’t as much activity as I remember.
I am one of them. Only that I wallowed in the drama AND THEN participated in the protests.
I lurk there once in a while and yes, it is fucking dead. That whole sub just fell dead with the only active posts not even being drama at all.
Compare it what it looked like two months ago. Back then I thought that sub would be the last one to still stand, before it too imploded. But no! Everyone who made that sub so funny already migrated here (love y’all, you beautiful fucks) and all that’s left are these sad excuses of posters and commenters.
After all that hype of how dramatic things would be…yesterday half a dozen posts down on the front page and the posts are 2 days old. Buckets and buckets of popcorn all laid waste…a shell of what it once was…all the buttery goodness is lost in time…like tears in rain.
SRD have been having a goddamn feeding frenzy the past few weeks.
But I could definitely see some of them getting burned out from excess joy. :D
SRD has revealed themselves to be largely bootlickers in all this.
