Sorry - the downvotes have made me realize that “we had to destroy the village to save it” isn’t third-grade bullshit, it’s kindergarten bullshit. But please, play on, those, like, 5 of you who decided that it was your call to dump years of posts into oblivion because the platform that supported your conversation for years decided they’d had enough of freeloading.
And that’s fine. The mods, or whomever, have every right to go off and form another community, and the participants have every right to follow. The mods DON’T have the right to make the decision for me, restrict the content that I posted to a site they do not own, or otherwise interfere with my right to enjoy the archival content that they did not create. Hopefully the Reddit ownership will force the afflicted communities open sooner rather than later and let us each decide individually, rather than be subject to the whims of some babies that think an entity doesn’t have the right to manage it’s own tech.
Great of the mods to unilaterally decide for tens of thousands of users to lock and make inaccessible years and years of conversation. I’m sorry your fefes are hurt, but this “we had to destroy the village to save it” is some third-grade tantrum throwing bullshit.
I mean, I’m not the one running around and breaking things, but ok.
