Surprising nobody, Reddit Corp threatening a gaming sub of a fanatically anti-corporate video game doesn’t go as they’d hoped.

The mod team have basically decided that “Fuck Reddit” is the way forward, and appear to have practically total support of their entire sub for the choice taken.

Presumably, we’re about to get a Cyberpunk community on Fediverse soon. :p

    This one can’t possibly end well for reddit. If they remove the mods…

    A) They leave the sub open until they find new ones, and the userbase goes even more crazy with NSFW content until then.

    B) They close the sub until they find new ones, encouraging most of the userbase to leave, and likely not come back when it reopens.

    C) They accept the flood of troll requests to takeover the sub, and the userbase goes even more crazy with NSFW content, but also with mod support.

    Not exactly a win for the userbase, but much bigger not-win for reddit, and it’s gonna be fun to watch.
