Surprising nobody, Reddit Corp threatening a gaming sub of a fanatically anti-corporate video game doesn't go as they'd hoped.

The mod team have basically decided that "Fuck Reddit" is the way forward, and appear to have practically total support of their entire sub for the choice taken.

Presumably, we're about to get a Cyberpunk community on Fediverse soon. :p

The number of people willing to die on this hill is actually quite surprising, and in a good way. So many people have made peace with leaving their subs, their mod powers, and even their entire Reddit accounts behind to fuck over that piece of shit running the place.

Never underestimate the power of spite.

My mod team and I are basically not doing any modding. Whatever was in place is still in place, about once a week I clean the mod queue. None of us really login anymore. It'll eventually become a dumpster fire but so far, it's not too terrible from what I can see. We used to all be on there checking the top posts and making sure they didn't violate the rules but, not anymore.

A lot of us had kind of been looking forward to it honestly.

One common thread I've seen with nearly every mod post stating that they're probably going out is a general sense of relief.

I've been wanting to leave Reddit since the fascists were allowed to have a platform there uncontested. This naked utter contempt for the users and mods of the site was the push I needed to finally do so. And whaddaya know, it's people who have similar values to me that left, while the bootlickers stayed. Win-win!

They'll vent their frustration at the ~~world~~ bots, who'll take it and engage right back at them, giving them as much attention as they want. Reddit = babysitter service, wha-hoo! :-P

Oh, bots that act offended and angry to keep them entertained (and away from the rest of us) would be awesome!

Spez is probably working on it right now as we speak! :-P

It would honestly be a brilliant way to keep the trolls engaged with the site!
