That subreddit is, and has been for some time, an utterly atrocious place. It's filled with low-effort posts and junk memes and interesting discussion is impossible. It's barely moderated. The median age is 10.
As a 13-year MC player who is totally obsessed with the game, I literally unsubbed from /r/minecraft some time ago and didn't miss it.
Here's hoping we get some critical mass on Lemmy or Kbin to build a MC community for an actual MC community. It's badly needed.
I tried to use their app. Even with tinkering I could only view 4 posts on a page (compared to about 10 on RIF). Of those 4, 1 was an ad and another was a "promoted" post. So really, I could only see 2 of my subbed posts. It looked like Facebook.
Reddit administrators even promised to help with the poll
The admins will be helping us and will provide us with a breakdown of votes by account age and sub activity.
and respect the results of the poll
If the results of the poll show the community wants us to participate and protest the changes, admins have promised us to respect that will and work on our demands.
Despite the results given by Reddit administrators themselves being clearly in favor of blackout, Reddit broke their promise forcing the subreddit to reopen.
The vote was promised to be respected and ended 70% in favor of going private… How does reddit expect to have any credibility left after this. Is there a point, there lies get so bad there actual illegal?
Reddit doesn't care. All they want to see are dollar signs. Which ironically, they will be seeing even harder negative dollar signs after all this.
Reddit admins are on their own platform, they get to make the rules and change them at any time. Sucks but thats how it works. Its up to the people who still have a Reddit account to edit their comment history, delete it all, and then delete their account.
They need to stop using Reddit, or get in line with the rest of the morons that complained about the blackout.
However, I do believe Steve's public commenting and repeating of provably false accusations against the main developer of Apollo are definitely illegal and if there ever was a defamation case with that evidence, there would be no trial, as it would be won before the judge sat down to discuss discovery. Unfortunately, a legal battle is likely too expensive for the Apollo developer.
