Hi guys!

Just want to get the mods opinions on when/whether the subreddit will be reopening. Ive noticed large swaths of subreddits giving up and many very large subreddits included in that

Personally ill just say that i was never in favour of the blackout at all because this was obviously going to happen, and i was especially not okay with the path of exile subreddits indefinite closure. Ill just make that clear so everyone reading knows!

But yes, this isnt meant to be a whine post or anything i do just want to know where the mods are at currently because all the small gaming subreddits i usually browse are back up but poe is not, and theres legitimate large scale poe hype coming on the horizon with poe2 so i sure would love to just have the subreddit back despite all its glaring flaws

Of course the active posters here are probably in favour of using this website because they love the concept of migrating to an open solution or whatever, but im more asking the people in charge if this is actually going to be a permanent solution or not

      What does this mean in context of the subreddit reopening. Will it reopen in july? Is the plan to reopen or not? What dust needs to settle to make this decision? Will it open in july if the dust hasnt settled? Is the subreddit just not going to open if reddit doesnt cave?

      Im not coming at this from ill intentions and im not trying to whine, i just want our community back and no this website is not it, and it wont ever be it.

        July first is the official end of all thirdparty apps like Apollo and Rif. And therefore a even more ad driven and privacy losing age of reddit will start.

        Have a good time there, it will not be the same going forward.

        Assuming all the subs reopen, mods will find out which parts of what Reddit has been saying have been lies or not, and will find out if they’re actually able to mod properly.

        My suspicion is that, like earlier when /u/spez was lying about the mods themselves, many of the mod tools won’t actually work like way /u/spez claims. The subs might not be closed any more, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they fill up with spam, AI-written ads, and troll posts.

          100% this.

          Everything that has been said thus far has been proven false (killing 3rd party applications, not like Twitter, etc.).

          The great philosopher Michael Scott once said, “fool me once, strike one… fool me twice, you’re out.”

    I would rather use the official forums than Reddit, I’m definitely not coming back

    There’s literally a thread posted 7 hours ago that says there will be news soon and the sub would be reopening.

      Well, you don’t make it very easy to not just downvote and move on. You want your loved PoE subreddit back and yes you whine about that here.

      I suggest you go to the official forum and try your luck there.
