Theverge.com has some updates on the reddit saga. Basically, reddit says get stuffed. So if the r/Melbourne mods are gonna stick to their guns get comfortable gang. We ain’t going anywhere any time soon.
I've crept back to Reddit a couple of times over the last few days but honestly... there's some weird communities that people are clinging on to that are now appearing on r/all that I'm just like "if this is what Reddit is to become, maybe it's a good thing that I just walk away."
I'm happy enough in here, provided we retain a good percentage of the old DT gang. We might need to recruit or hope that we gain enough traction to increase our numbers of great people eventually, but for now, this will have to do :)

someone made a r/squaredcircle2 but I feel like the worst people of that sub are the ones who didn't understand the point of the protests in the first place. The whole "it doesn't affect me so why should I bother?" kind of narrative. I mean, sure, you do you, but I don't see how Reddit can improve under the dictatorship of u/spez
