Good on them. I hope others follow suit. As an aside, I recently switched to a lemmy app instead of using my ad blocked browser, and holy shit PCGamer’s website is an unusable dystopian nightmare. You have to read the article through a tiny letterbox of multiple competing videos and across the short article there are two full page ads to dismiss. Fuck that.
Or Adguard (though that's not free). I've the best blocking experience overall with Adguard myself. Actually works in basically everything. Blokada didn't work in chrome properly, so if you use that that's an issue. Blokada is free and Adguard isn't but it has some additional stuff Blokada doesn't have from last time I used it.
Adguard is $2.49 a month or $80 for lifetime. If you plan on using blokada, use blokada 5 which is the free one. With blokada 6 they've moved onto subscription model.
Wait, then what? Is the sub going to end, or become unofficial? What will be Reddit stance when it does, will they get threatening modmails and be forced to re-open? If that happens, then Mojang should just copyright bomb their content off of Reddit as a whole, as is their right.
Huh? Nothing on the subreddit could possible qualify for a copyright claim. User generated content about a videogame has never been the intellectual property of the developers, and thank God it isn't.
Addressing your first point though, I'm not even sure that the sub was ever officially "owned", by Mojang, but if it was then they've transferred ownership, as the sub is still active and running under the original mod team.
Mojang also spies on your private server hosted on your own PC with your own internet playing with your own friends.
Mojang shouldn’t get that kind of control. That’s crazy.
Also, does Mojang require photo ID before they ban people for “slurs”? I’m not sure if a black person should get banned for saying the N word on their own private server.
Maybe if Mojang helps pay for my internet bill or my electricity bill they can have control over my private server. Until then, they can kindly screw off.
And the fact they’ve released patches specifically to block mods that remove chat reporting and nothing else goes to show how scummy they are.
Chat reporting should only be enabled on PUBLIC REALM servers hosted by Mojang. That’s really the only place you can justify what they are doing.
