So Long, and Thanks for All the Feedback

As you have no doubt heard by now, Reddit management introduced changes recently that have led to rule and moderation changes across many subreddits. Because of these changes, we no longer feel that Reddit is an appropriate place to post official content or refer our players to.

We want to thank you for all the feedback and discussion you’ve participated in in past changelog threads. You are of course welcome to post unofficial update threads going forward, and if you want to reach the team with feedback about the game, please visit our feedback site at feedback.minecraft.net or contact us on one of our official social media channels.

The text is rather polite and professional, but at the end of the day it boils down to “we’ll GTFO of this place. Keep discussing Minecraft here if you want, but you won’t get official content through Reddit.”

And who’s “we”? The one posting the text above was u/sliced_lime aka Mikael Hedberg, a game developer at Mojang and interim tech lead for the Minecraft launcher. Odds are that his position represents Mojang AB’s position. That is, the position of a subsidiary of Microsoft.

Yup - a subsidiary of one of the GAFAM companies is refusing to deal with Reddit.
