Mates, today without warning, the reddit royal navy attacked. I've been demoded by the admins.
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
A fellow mod informed me that about it as I was laying in bed. Reddit sent a message to the mod team and after 1 hour demoded me. I didn't even had time to see it, never-mind respond to it.
Looks like we rattled reddit enough to start shooting. There goes all that fancy talk about our protest not affecting them much.
Just FYI for now. It's late here so I'll see how we proceed tomorrow.
IMO the option here would be to open the sub, but implement new rules.
Nowhere does it say the sub needs to be on topic. There are many off-topic subs out there (that news sub that's mostly porn, marijuanaenthusiasts).
From now on, only text posts containing a punchline to the joke "why did the chicken cross the road" are allowed.
Like r/pics?
Yeah I realized after posting it they started using that strategy. I really hope it works for them.
Isn't it better to just tell everyone to come here?
Reddit would definitely not let us make posts about that. If they go as far as hijaking moderators, do you think they won't go as far as ban anyone who mentioned lemmy?
Let them ban! It's not like we're going back after July 1st anyway!

How would that ruin the subreddit though?
That will be on the Tonight Show for sure, easy bait
