This strikes me more as "this is literally what the rules say" rather than being targeted at anything specific. It would be insane to start actually ousting mods across the entire site for a couple days of a pre-planned, short-lived blackout. The community already seems to be angrily demanding the mods reopen, and most have reopened anyway, so there is nothing Reddit admins actually have to do.
really? i was part of the biggest wrestling forum on the planet and that's gone, possibly for good. that's a big deal for a niche interest but everyone i've seen or interacted with is fine migrating to discord and the kbin. the only issue is what to do about the archive.
It's not getting as much discussion time around these parts but Discord seems like its gonna be the true reddit successor. Honestly, this makes me sad because Discord feels like jumping into a stream of consciousness.
I've found it to be really frustrating to have a "true" conversation on discord. "2 people typing..." before you even have a chance to write somethubfb
Discord?!? Really?!? The Microsoft owned chat app that was at one time primarily used by gamers and their guild/squad/herd? I don’t understand how that would be a viable solution to anything.
That's really not a replacement for a link aggregator site with discussion.
Not disagreeing that the masses will likely flock to it due to brand recognition and such ...
But man does that make me sad too... Really hate how locked down Discord is in comparison (like you can't even browse content without a login and using from the browser is painful compared to using a client). Add in their past (and possibly present) privacy issues and the fact that like Reddit, they are also a centralized site run by another greedy company and I feel like this is yet another recipe for disaster (albeit one that might take awhile to fully materialize)
