So that's it r/newzealand? (self.newzealand)

So, I see r/NZ is back. That's it? What an anemic protest. I guess I'm honestly surprised more people don't care. I expected the protest to go on longer, but I guess I overestimated how much the average user cared about this.

Unfortunately, I think it probably means we won't see a lot of growth in Lemmy now. Shame.

Many more subreddits have been approached I believe. E.g. one mod from /r/piracy got a message from the Reddit admins, any moderator who wanted to re-open should reply. He only read it one hour later and he was already de-modded and the subreddit was reopened.

Also /r/antiwork has been forced to reopen. And that community is against corporate greed, but they still caved in.

It's so crazy that /r/antiwork mods got forced back to work or faced getting fired?! If that doesn't drive /r/antiwork to look elsewhere what will?? I posted a comment about signing up to Lemmy and searching for !antiwork@lemmy.ml as an alternative that doesn't involve their coporate overlords cracking the whip! Others have posted simliar.

there is also !workreform@lemmy.world I believe. I personally prefer that to antiwork (which suggests getting rid of work entirely).

Good to know!
