Humor, jokes, memes about TTRPGs
For the record, I fully support what the remaining mod team is doing, they are a wonderful group and I trust them completely. I don't regret the choices I made, only that my actions got a few other mods shit canned in the process.
Honestly, fuck spez and the rest of the admin team.
You are a legend for what you did. They nat 1'd and instead of abiding by the roll, they flipped the table.
This is my first post on here thanks to the shit Admins pulled on you. How best do you recommend continuing the protest? Simply stop using reddit altogether, or is there a malicious compliance you recommend? My usage has gone down significantly since the API changes but I haven't been able to kick it altogether.

Unfortunately, that's probably the only route, IMO

While it's not exactly a perfect replacement for reddit yet, lemmy can help with that, i've found. If you click to the "all" feed you can basically get a slows/less populated version of reddit r/all. Really all it lacks at the moment is user participation, which has been climbing a lot over just the past few weeks.
Just to add, sorting All by Top Hour/6H keeps the content fresh. The default Active sorts by comments and favors 1-2 day old threads while Hot regularly resurfaces weeks old threads for some reason.
Stopping using Reddit is probably the only effective form of protest. If you don't want to do that, reducing your usage at all will help. However, the best thing you can probably do is help the Fediverse grow. Your part of that means active participation, be it posts or comments. So that's what I would encourage you to do: Post things!
Define Fediverse please?
Ttrpg.network, which you joined, is one of many websites that can all communicate together with a common web protocol. This process is called federation and all of those sites together are called the fediverse. So for example, I’m logged into slrpnk.net right now but because both of our sites (called instances) are federated, I can view and comment here, and you’d be able to do the same on any communities hosted on slrpnk.net. You may have heard of mastodon which is more of a twitter alternative but it’s also part of the fediverse, so you should be able to use your account here to view and interact with mastodon content as well if you wish.
It’s a pretty clever system and while there are hiccups here and there, for me it has been a good replacement for Reddit. We just need more users and content to really get things going.
This is the fediverse. It's a bunch of different instances federating with each other, sharing content but remaining individual. That way, no one instance can pull a reddit and go mad with power.
Legend. Just registered here too after the coward decision from Reddit Admins. Other than cats and NCD I'm barely active now.

Assuming that's the NCD you're talking about that seems to be its largest fediverse community.
Just a little tip: If you use a browser (PC or mobile), you can simply write [email protected] and it will automatically convert the link so that people directly can subscribe regardless on which server they are.
Thank you for your service. Fuck the admins.
Would you be interested in starting a shortstack-and-snitty friendly community, either on this instance or elsewhere on Lemmy? I know it started as a protest, but a genuine (albeit horny) community sprung up really quickly. A lot of users, myself included, legitimately enjoyed what it was shaping into these past couple of days, where normal memes were getting posted alongside horny ones. It made the sub a really enjoyable sex-positive space that wasn't solely dedicated to sex, and there are not many of those.
I have a spicy question for you!
...did you have a favourite NSFW meme I made?
oh shit, nice username
Hi~! I'm (still) kind of a slut!
hell yeah
Hello! Here’s Question.
… how did you do it? How did you transcend fear,pain death and become immortal?
Asking for a friend.
But more seriously thank you so much for what you did. You set an example.
And it wasn’t just about goblin tits ( and throbbing bugbear wang).
It was about resisting illegitimate execution of authority and the sub became a really cool sex positive space. ( possibly not the mods intent, but it happened.)
Anyway, I do have one final question.
For people who support you and the original mods and also the remaining mods…
What do you suggest we do?
Abandon that sub completely and just come here and try to make it really active or… what?
🙏❤️
They really should lock that sub down, migrate to a full NSFW sub, and leave all new posts pending mod approval with a message from automod directing them to here or the new sub.
At some point Reddit will just ban all the mods and install their own
That's when the members need to take keeping the sub NSFW into their own hands.

I am livid as the erasure of the snitties and all the amazing goblin mode posting. While this network might not want to go NSFW like that, I was personally all on board with the eventual 10% NSFW memes that seemed to be settling in before the interference.
Serious question: Which DND races did you enjoy seeing fuck/be fucked and will you be encouraging that DISGUSTING (👀) behaviour here?
Because I'll be honest... I kinda enjoyed the smut.
I just joined this website and I am very glad to join along for the ride. I hope more subreddits follow this kind of alternative and delete their subs so Reddit can be left in the dust from barely having anything left to see. Would be a justified end for their greed.
What was your initial reaction when they suddenly created a rule to fire you and blacklist you from being mod again out of nowhere? Must have been quite the surprise, albeit not unexpected.
Fuck Spez , I have bailed out of Reddit , it is beyond saving because structurally it is built on a flawed concept of assuming benevolent admins who work for the good of the community , and that is no longer the case , they are too far gone to be able to salvage value from that place and we are better off rebuilding better here.
A king till the very end. A hero who went out with a blast. In a word: based.
Did the Reddit admins ever roll that persuasion or intimidation check? If so, was it just a regular fail or a nat 1?
Cheers for moving over! I'll almost miss the 50/50 nature of that sub being NSFW
You did a great job.
I have tried to repoint the tiny Wanderhome community on Reddit here to Lemmy for those that want to make the jump - but given most of the activity is on Discord, it is not very lively here yet!
What are a handful of your favourite D&D memes at the moment?
Dunno where else to drop it, so I'll put it here: props to you for using this opportunity to finally "fix" the name from dndmemes to general rpgmemes. Lord knows that debate went on for years longer than it should've
What was it like to be a mod for a community that has more than a million users?
It's kind of pathetic they don't even pretend to care about their own rules anymore.
I just hope we can turn this place into a better alternative!
Ama related; What's the thing your players did that caused the biggest "Oh. NO. They did that?!" reaction you've had
A legend to the very end, you and the other mods helped keep the fire alive.
Is it hard to walk with those iron balls between your legs.
For real though. Thanks for your efforts and making a stand.
AMA I guess
Have you tried Pathfinder?
Now the meme's out of the way, how are you finding modding on Lemmy so far?
You god damn hero. Thank you for your service.
do you have a particular fave meme from the NSFW storm you were able to save before the purge? if so, could you show us? all for research purposes of course...
Any thoughts on having the main DNDmemes sub very very very actively signpost people to join here?
are you the guy who asked the admins to roll a dice for a iniative check? :D
Sorry to hear about your ban, it was an honorable protest. What was your favorite meme that you saw in your time?
I am so sorry to see you and the others go. I can't believe they perma banned folks and not just demodded them. I am gonna miss all that smut!
Hello. I would like to name a NPC in my campaign after you. Do you have any preference in class or race?
