Props to the mods over there!
Not gonna link the names, but for real, these guys belong in some kind of hall of fame. Stay strong, fuck /u/spez.
edit for future people: It looks like the android subreddit made a whole server! It can be found here: https://lemdro.id/
It’s so nice to see some subreddits sticking to their guns and ideals and push through until real change happens! r/Nintendo is still down too, which was a nice surprise when I was looking around to see the state of my subs on Reddit.
Oh wow, /r/nintendo stayed down through a Nintendo Direct that announced a new Mario game? That’s a lot more chutzpah than I’d expect from a subreddit focused on a game console.
r/Games didn’t even have the balls to shutdown because “summer game fest is more important than a protest”
They are more based than /r/pcgaming, /r/pcmasterrace, /r/linux, and /r/buildapc. Got my respect. To see them still holding strong is not at all what I would have expected. PC community pretty much completely dropped the ball.
I credit /u/1338hax for it.
He got no @ here to thank directly?
No clue if that mod’s even responsible lol but if you spent any time on /r/nintendo that mod is consistently the only one being based in the comments. Their user flair was “free Project M”
Hot damn they mean business. NICE!
That’s indeed impressive.
Damn that’s amazing. Lot of the subs I expected would be locked down like /r/pcgaming, /r/pcmasterrace, and /r/buildapc are the ones who ended up not caring despite thinking it’d align with the values of openness when it comes to hardware and software. I suppose it isn’t a surprise given that they were probably the ones buying scalper prices for GPUs and then scalper prices from nvidia themselves. Even /r/patientgamers who are supposed to be patient… were not patient enough to rush to go back to normal like they were snatching up preorders.
But, it’s /r/Nintendo that ended up stepping up to the plate. Respect.
In fairness r/pcmasterrace and r/gaming absolutely hate Linux as well so I wasn’t really expecting them to give up on Reddit and move to the Lemmy/Kbin
