Barring the exceptionally unlikely case of Reddit reversing course, the /r/Planetside is dead.
Discord isn’t really a good platform for a public forum and the official forums are still …the official forums.
Do you think this could work out?
> 1 user online (which is me, lol)
> 1 user/day (also me)
Good luck with that.
I’m not sure how accurate those counts are; especially w.r.t. instances.
Clearly you aren’t doing enough
I hope people see this as a good alternative. Would love to see the community move over to Lemmy, I really do like Lemmy as a platform. The fediverse once you get your head around it is amazing idea and feels like the future of the internet!
Since the Reddit administration killed the site, I’d rather be here.
personally, I’m up for it? Lemmy is already a nice platform, fun to use, including a mobile app. The challenge is mostly to have an “Official” platform a tually become used. Lots of people won’t go here, just like they don’t go on the official forum, because Reddit and Discird are already established platforms (or, well, in the case of Reddit, were)
Literally signed up a few minutes ago just for all of my gaming subreddits that are moving here. I’d be happy if they all did at this rate, as it would suck to have to spread out all of my gaming communities through multiple different sites
If the mods are going to keep /r/planetside closed indefinitely. I could see this working out.
Just going to have to advertise this places existence.
Although, I hope /r/planetside opens up again. Just because almost a decade of posts the community has created is just . . . gone. That does not sit right with me.
Keeping the Planetside subreddit closed indefinitely is a bad move. This “protest” will pass like all the others and there is a decade’s worth of content and history there that people should see.
Personally, I think these protests are hurting users more than they are hurting Reddit. But I’m fine with it transitioning over the Lemmy or where ever else, but discoverability is the issue there.
Part of it though is that if you hurt the users enough then they’re kinda forced to go elsewhere. I know it sucks, but the alternative is to continue using Reddit and I don’t think I need to explain why that would be bad.
I hope /r/planetside opens up again. Just because almost a decade of posts the community has created is just . . . gone. That does not sit right with me.
Agreed. “Opening” back up but effectively going read-only by restricting new submissions is the way to go and many of the other subs have done that already. I hope /r/Planetside will follow.
Reddit and the LLM creators already have the historical data; all this drama is about future data.
