How can we reopen the FF14 subreddit?

Then it's time to build a new platform.

The current group of moderators probably doesn't want that though. Let's be honest with ourselves, while this situation sucks and it's mostly Reddit's fault as company, sub reddit moderators are taking it out on the userbase themselves.

Besides that, migrating could potentially ruin plenty of subreddit moderators. There's a chance their communities won't have nearly as big of a following. They'd have less power to flex.

No. It's much easier for them to butt heads against the CEO and try to change things back on the platform where they still have some semblance of power while holding the entire userbase hostage. The discomfort that protests are supposed to cause is not supposed to be aimed at the common person but at the people causing the discomfort. It's true that historically there has been collateral damage in a lot of protests but can we ever deny that's anything more than tyranny of the majority? Either way, we live in a modern world and we're capable of creating better solutions to these problems. You just choose not to.

How do you think reddit makes money?

So? There are alternatives. Even if no one wanted to hold a full scale migration that information could have been transferred elsewhere for the blackouts. It would have been pretty simple to export a large amount of it and link it in the notification that alerts you to the fact that the subreddit is currently a private community.


Do you know what we call people that restrict or destroy information? We call them suppressors. The current subreddit moderators that persist with this blackout are restricting and suppressing the information on their respective subreddits and have earned themselves a place among history along those who burn books and libraries.

You seem to have your own set of rules that you expect others to follow, yet you don't always adhere to them yourself.

You selectively support certain corporations while considering others to be against your principles despite all of them sharing the same general practices.

While you call out others for making snide and sarcastic comments, you often engage in such behavior yourself, especially when you can't seem to come up with anything valid to say in response.

Are you anything but a hypocrite at this point?

If you look through my post history you'll find that I've never suggested supporting SE blindly. I've always said that people should DO something instead of complaining constantly while supporting the corporation. Paying for 5 subs while constantly belittling anyone that says something positive about the game? Hell yea I'll call that out. Anyday. Without apology.

Reddit mods are DOING SOMETHING. They're not just sitting there supporting the CEO while saying "we don't like this..but shrug, guess there's nothing we can do". I applaud someone actually following what they say.

As for snide/sarcastic comments, I'm totally a hypocrite lol. I felt your comment was so nonsensical that I couldn't help myself. I apologize though, I could have said that in a nicer way. That part is on me for sure.

Ineed the reddit mods are doing something, crying on the mod-subreddit how their role is equal to slavery and that they should be praised more (Not joking)

I still like Boblawblah even if we have some disagreement here. I think this is probably a situation where Reddit did something that really crossed a boundary for her, and while other large companies often do things that are not consumer friendly (even SE does a lot of this...thank you $42 whale mount and a housing system that removes your home if you don't sub for 2 months...), it may not feel as immediately off-putting as this might.

I have been agreeing with your general sentiment here though. Competition for reddit would be a good thing so they step up their game. I am afraid if they remove tools mods use the website will suffer and I won't even want to go there at all if it degenerates too much. But I think that should be my choice and not someone else's to just block me from using the website.

[ShueBox]

All of these should just be consolidated into one.

Fantastic idea, let us know when you're finished please

[Mosha]

All of these should just be consolidated into one. We really should not have to sift through discords and old websites that are filled with confusing and outdated information in order to find what we need. Google searches bring up Reddit as the top answer the majority of the time, and it's a pain that so much information is locked on the website so now we have to go hunting. This game needed something like WoWhead yesterday; it's just a nightmare.

Going to be real I don't know why people struggle to find information about this game it's pretty well-documented if you know where to look.

Nobody knows where to look, which is why the same questions get asked over and over again on Reddit and become the top Google searches that we now don't have access to lol.
