The subreddit will go dark tomorrow, July 1st.

I left reddit a couple weeks back, when the API debacle was starting. I kept the sub private for a week as a protest, and reopened it for the last week to let people talk about what was happening, stating that I would be leaving reddit for good, thus, leaving my position as a mod.

People didn't really talk about it. I just had a comment saying that I was punishing subscribers to the sub. Not the conversation I was willing to have.

Of course, I'm not punishing anybody, as I am not responsible for the poor management choices reddit's CEO is making, killing his platform and its community. The fact that I have principles I want to stick to has also nothing to do with this community.

The thing is that the sub's owner and other mods haven't been moderating the sub and they did not come forward during the events, leaving me alone as the captain of the ship. I do really hope they'll show up at some point and do something with the sub.

In the meantime, I'm here, willing to go forward with the community. Tag along if you will.

Stay stronk, drenk melk.
