Frankly, Even I hate nonsense Reddit API updates that have almost put third-party apps out of business. I’m more than happy with the two-day blackout as a mark of protest. But sealing off our subreddit forever? That’s ridiculous! We’re a community of just over a million. There several of us back online, yet we arent.

The mods are on some power trip, making decisions without consulting us subscribers. How about a vote? Let us have a say in this! It’s an absolute mockery!

I use Reddit to unwind after a hard day’s work, and this subreddit was my favorite. But remember, if you don’t value us, someone else will.

Wake up from your delusion! For heaven’s sake, do right by your subscribers and bring the subreddit back online!

Edit: @mods, you are yet to answer why there’s no vote if you really want to Jeopardize this subreddit for a cause. A fair vote should be there if we made this subreddit into what it is today. Be kind and open.

Edit 2: Still no answer from mods. Why wasn’t there a vote? I hope you don’t consider yourself to be the flag bearer. Downvote me all you want but there’s already a subreddit easily eating up your audience.

Edit 3: Yet no answer from mods. Why there was no vote? Are you guys flagbearers of the community?

    You are crossing a picket line.

    Everything going back to normal after two days is what Spez wants. If the strike is to be effective, it needs to continue until demands are met, not to just give up in only two days.

    And if demands are not met, we start building alternatives, show that reddit needs us more than we need them.

      hows the “picket line” going Che ?

      look at all this riveting discussion going on ; if you’re lucky maybe you can even get into DOUBLE DIGIT comments on threads.

      meanwhile, even the meme r/csgo has hundreds of upvotes and engagements

        exactly. Communities with 10M+ subscribers are up and running and then look at us. I mean mods didn’t even took a vote and straight up acting.

      Building a new community would be a dumb idea. In fact, there’s already an alternate subreddit and they ate up the audience.(170% increase in last week). Its not about if you’ll do this, that’ll happen and blah blah. Downvote me all you want but thats the reality. What difference 1M community makes to reddit? Nothing!

      Mods still have not replied on why there wasn’t any vote if they were going to close the subreddit.

            Please stay on reddit. It’s so much nicer over here without people like you, and I mean that sincerely. All social media goes to hell when it gets popular and the below-average wastes of space start invading. Haven’t missed this low-effort Twitter-tier bait at all and the best part about the move away from reddit is leaving y’all behind lol

            Waddle on back to your cesspool, junior. Nobody’s coming for your low standards, feel free to keep rolling in trash while daddy Spez spanks you for taking a brief trip off the site 😉
