Are you considering making and moderating and equivalent community here on Lemmy? A lot of people here want to start communities or at least for those communities to exist but don't have the time or experience or mental health to moderate them ourselves, so moderators directly moving here from Reddit could make a massive impact!

Cool, how do people at r/letsplay feel about going dark?

They are fairly indifferent to the situation. Unfortunately the subreddit was a bit of crab pot.

I’ve found found the same in other communities, I was surprised how many people just didn’t care or were actively shilling for Reddit.

What are you going to do with all your time now :)

Like most my career is soaking up the majority of my time, but I'm pursuing art and also just playing/recording more games.

Holy! It's insane that I can click on messages and see the messages sent to \u\nathan131412. He really needs to log out of his reddit account, so it's not archived like that for forever. I appreciate the person that messaged him to let him know - real homie right there!

@lethalfeline I just dropped all subs I moderate one with 73k u/spez kileed reddit. I'm in the process of leaving reddit as a whole

Alternatives exist now and we have a community here that is growing. It's a good place to be.

What is r/letsplay about?

r/letsplay is a community for those who record gameplay with voice commentary, usually while playing the game. This content is typically uploaded to YouTube or livestreamed on Twitch.

Ooh, I think the first Let's Play series I watched on YouTube was a dude playing Demon Souls. He went by EpicNameBro. I haven't thought of his content in quite a while and didn't realize there was a community that did the same style of content.

You can also use PowerDeleteSuite, as demonstrated by this person, to change all your comments and promote Lemmy.

Guide: How to edit all your Reddit comments with PowerDeleteSuite

There are reports of them restoring deleted comments now though. They do not appreciate the community. Reddit is dead to power users.

That's why people should use it to edit their comments and saying, "I'm moving to Lemmy, fuck u/spez."

If they can un-delete them, they can restore them to what they said before unfortunately, but also fuck u/spez

How does it feel to finally be free of Spez's tyranny?

Feels good. Lemmy is just a friendlier environment overall, so I'm loving the community here.
