Though it’s been kind of peculiar seeing people discussing whether a subreddit is “officially” moving to some place other than Reddit, because aside from a few subreddits where there’s clear corporate backing there’s nothing “official” about any of them in the first place. The only people who claim to be making some kind of “official” decision are a couple of mods, and ironically Reddit’s fundamental position in this whole mess is that mods are easily replaceable.
I would dispute that “easily” part, especially for good mods, but it’s not like the creation of each domain-specific subreddit was some unique event that can never be replicated elsewhere. There are bronies here in the Fediverse. There’s !mylittlepony@kbin.social, !mylittlepony@lemmy.ml, !mlp@pawb.social, probably others I haven’t bumped into yet. They’re all small but they could grow.
I feel the same way about r/mylittlepony.
I feel the same way about r/noncredibledefense and r/skyrimmods.
!noncredibledefense@lemmy.world
!non_credible_defense@lemmy.ml
!noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works
!NonCredibleDefense@kbin.social
And I still don’t understand what it even means.
Aw, them too?
