/r/AccidentalRenaissance moderators have all resigned. The subreddit has permanently shut down and moved to Lemmy.

Lee Duna@lemmy.nz to Reddit@lemmy.world – 4239 points –

AccidentalRenaissance has no active moderators due to Reddit's unprecedented API changes, and has thus been privated to prevent vandalism.

I was saying this from day one, we aren't teachers or nurses or someone who may feel they owe society some information about their strike.

People literally could not promise to stay away from a website for a week. The strike should have been indefinite it was our chance to try and save it. Now it's lost to me.

I never wanted to save Reddit in the first place. I was glad that spez finally screwed it up badly enough to prompt people to leave in large numbers, and I was glad that the protest was too half-hearted to restore the status quo. Fuck centralised, corporate-owned social media.

I've gone full soapbox preacher on federation of late, but it almost feels like trying to explain the internet to someone without a computer in 1998. It's amazing the amount of people who have said stuff like

"Yeah but YouTube can't just do whatever they want on the platform...."

Hopefully Threads will be the wake up call for the masses.
