  • Well different polling methods all have drawbacks and advantages, idk which is the best. Apparently there are discords linking these polls so that protesters can vote on everything. Prolly just a rumor.

    I just disagree on the NSFW thing in principal. It creates a wrong image of the sub, potentially more work for the mods and more volatile content. All that on the assumption that reddit will be financially hurt from advertisers pulling out. How much will they hurt or even at all is unknown and poe is not like a 30m user sub. Too many problems for too much of an ucertain benefit imo. And bridges are already kinda burned, but this will just be the final nail in the coffin for GGG using reddit to communicate.




  • I’ll comment here since the main reddit post is getting spammed. What do you hope to achieve with making everything in the sub NSFW? What about trolls that will post gore with missleading titles and more NSFW content? Why would you enable such behavior insted of just leaving gracefully? Like reddit did to you, why are you enforcing your own opinions to people that didn’t mind the reddit changes? In the poll, who is more likely to brigade when you have an option that enables trolls and spam bots to post without reprecussions? At least consider doing a second polling round between the top 2 choices.


  • Saved option in the reddit profile saved tab. The saved stuff and any google searches will still remain closed off right? So assume I do a google search about a poe question and most of the time the answer was answered on a subreddit post. Those would still be inaccesible too. Or my own posts, detailing something that we access through our reddit profile.

    The mirror clone sounds good and I assume is a lot of work too. But all the things I mentioned are accessed via either our reddit profile or google search results.



  • Do people moderate more from their phones than on PC? I would think that moderation happens mainly from the desktop version of reddit and all the tools would be there and not on mobile.

    Is killing of 3rd party apps the hill to die on? If you want to argue philosophically, reddit went from full open source to not some time ago and that seems like a more important idea to fight for. But there were no protests for that. Now the majority of people complain on a basis of convenience lost because they are forced to use the official app on the phone. So is that really such an important issue? I get it some power users having a stronger opinion on this (and prolly most mods belong to that group as well) but I don’t think that affects the average user in such a grave manner.

    Edit: didn’t PoE do something similar with their trade API and caused poeapp, poe.trade etc to shut down? Was there a protest then?





  • People rightly complained / didnt use the official reddit mobile app because it was bad. Some also continued using old.reddit because they didn’t like the new one. Honestly, this new thing, is bad. That’s the main reason for me. It’s not just a “don’t want to change” thing either. The UI is lacking compared to reddit. Also the forum view, is not good imo. Both old and new versions of reddit did it better.

    Also, that’s a me thing, but I don’t understand the layout of the page. On reddit you have a main account, 1 account to login and you can join different subs. Have all the relevant info on your front page. Here I only see the poe “sub”. Where’s the rest? I had my main page with new / relevant posts from all the subs I followed. Like an old man reads the newspaper for many different news, I had reddit and I can’t replicate that here. That’s the another deal breaker.

    Finally there’s so many personal account based stuff like saved posts, repositories of information, karma, replies and discussions that can’t be transfered here. It just can’t happen. There’s also a lot of usernames and people you met and talked over the years, now that is gone. And people with streamer names that’s gonna cause confusion.

    I get it that reddit fucked up and communities are not “moderatable” anymore but this is such a downgrade and the transition causes many problems, I just don’t see me using either at the end of the day and that’s that.
