I'm confused, please can someone explain? So the Reddit DT is up again and some of the regs are posting there (and some here also). There's also Florida things. What's happening? Are we staying here or migrating back? Argh!

Looks like a bit of a shit show over there at the moment

Best summary so far!

It’s too much for me to invest in two DT’s. I’m staying here until the sub has gone back to normal, if/when that happens.

They (probably?!) did a poll on discord to decide to maliciously comply and change the sub to Melbourne, FL. There've been multiple times when they should've done a poll properly on reddit but they didn't, so some of that anger is justified. With the r/melbourne posts about Melbourne gone, many of the usual post-commenters are angrily commenting on the DT. I'm staying.

I'm staying here for the time being because that shit over there is not over.

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago

Mods are in protest of reddit forcing them to reopen by changing the rules of the sub to be about Melbourne Florida. A lot of other subs have done the same, but the r Melbourne mods havnt gone about it in the best way.

I agree with the malicious compliance. But having a DT amongst it feels... Weird? Like I stated yesterday, I'm staying here unless everyone decides to move back over to r/Melbourne.

Imma staying unless or until everyone (except Bacon) goes back.
Hell, Bacon and I can chat among ourselves if necessary. ;)

I feel like home is where you make it. At least this has all the vibes of DT + Melbourne for that matter without the daily wrecks that seem to be happening.

All of it has just been too weird and I just want some calm.
