Your selfish "protest" is doing nothing but hurting a niche community. If YOU don't like reddit then YOU should stop using it. Corpos will always make greedy decisions. So the API crap was nothing surprising. Leagueoflinux is not the mods subreddit, its the community's. Therefore, you and the mods have no right to rob the community of what's ours. Stop hurting others for your opinion.
It isn't your subreddit, it's Reddit's subreddit and they stated this very clearly. If a corporation can afford to be as greedy as Reddit is, there must be clearly something wrong with their customers when the still do business with them...
I could somewhat understand it if we would be talking about essential goods, but certainly not a forum conglomeration.
Back then I quit Reddit after deleting every single post and comment that I every made on both of my accounts. Unfortunately most people just have no backbone and just give up at the slightest inconvenience. Just imagine the one abusing you isn't some random forum conglomertaion, but something actually important in your life.
This issue was never fixed on pbe. maybe mods just don't have pbe accounts?? I thoroughly disagree with them re-closing the subreddit. this could have had at least some helpful information much earlier. this "protest" has done nothing but hurt our own ability to address problems by half-baking a rule of "we will only open the sub when the absolute worst happens." Well here's the absolute worst....
I don't think the community is dead, it's just that the game was working really, really well on Linux (and I guess even on windows) these past few patches
Nobody comes here or the official subreddit to celebrate this very often because we know things such as this can happen out of nowhere
But if there's one thing that brings communities together very quickly, it's things going wrong; And here we all are!
Really quick edit because I forgot to talk about it: yeah, the website does need more work and maybe a few more helping hands; We should make a thread here to talk about it
Here we all are? The game is completely broken and that amounts to, what, 25-30 comments across a whopping 2 threads? The community has clearly taken a mortal blow, and everyone sees exactly why that is. The platform shouldn't belong to the mods, it should be something that the mods are there to protect for the sake of its users. Instead they have used it to wage their own holy wars at the cost of the community. To quote Shrek (2001):
"Many of you will die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make"
