Oh. Reach out #reddit admin about "what next steps will take place" if I don't reopen.
The lights aren't on anymore. I've left.
I was the creator & sole mod of most of my communities. We aren't "stewards in a position of trust with our users." We made a house & invited users in if they liked the way it was run.

I still mod a few #fannish reddit comms close to my heart in the hopes I can find a decentralized self-hosting option to redirect them to. I want my own damn house. #redditblackout

@naynay I feel more like it's their house and that we decorated, furnished and lived in them for the last 15 years... a really bad idea in hindsight.

Do know know about Lemmy? (the self-hosted, fediverse-enabled alternative to reddit) https://join-lemmy.org/

Lemmy - A decentralised discussion platform for communities

Lemmy

@scarpentier Right, lol. True. Altho I was always supportive of #Reddit before now. Starting with my appreciation of #AaronSwartz; their content policy allowed for NSFW; RES and Toolbox extensions were fantastic; a plethora of 3P apps...

I spent $$ on Reddit supporting it - gold & badges, etc. in the same way I've spent $$ on Tumblr supporting it.

For-profit companies aren't evil until they start pulling this greedy shit sacrificing users for $$ and (fuck) u/spez goes off praising #ElonMusk

@scarpentier also yep I know about lemmy. Also kbin. I'll explore but honestly I kinda want to go back to the old ways of forum message boards like https://www.phpbb.com/
