So, I see r/NZ is back. That’s it? What an anemic protest. I guess I’m honestly surprised more people don’t care. I expected the protest to go on longer, but I guess I overestimated how much the average user cared about this.

Unfortunately, I think it probably means we won’t see a lot of growth in Lemmy now. Shame.

    There are two subs I’ve seen where the mods we’re contacted by the reddit admins and told to reopen or be replaced.

      Many more subreddits have been approached I believe. E.g. one mod from /r/piracy got a message from the Reddit admins, any moderator who wanted to re-open should reply. He only read it one hour later and he was already de-modded and the subreddit was reopened.

      Also /r/antiwork has been forced to reopen. And that community is against corporate greed, but they still caved in.

        It’s so crazy that /r/antiwork mods got forced back to work or faced getting fired?! If that doesn’t drive /r/antiwork to look elsewhere what will?? I posted a comment about signing up to Lemmy and searching for !antiwork@lemmy.ml as an alternative that doesn’t involve their coporate overlords cracking the whip! Others have posted simliar.
