How can we reopen the FF14 subreddit?

[dansetal]

The official Discord doesn't want to hear dissent and kicked a bunch of people who don't agree with the blackout and mute you if you disagree. The blackout vote is brigaded since it's open to everyone and pro-blackout Redditors vote continue on every blackout vote against the wishes of FF14 players who use the subreddit.

I'm at a loss here and I miss being able to post on the subreddit and it seems like the blackout will just continue forever. It's a huge blow to the community for the mods to continue the blackout indefinitely even when spez doesn't care so the blackout only hurts the community without giving us anything in return. Other social media platforms just aren't really the same as Reddit.

Anyone have any idea how we can reopen the subreddit? I've been thinking of finding some people together to request to mod a private sub as it's against the Reddit rules.

Sorry if this post violates forum guidelines but there's nowhere else to talk since the subreddit mods censored everything (they banned a lot of people on the discord)

It's a bummer when you have to google something and a lot of information is found on reddit. It's questionable if anything comes out of this reddit demonstration, but if that is what it takes to go against big corporations.. the price of freedom is steep.

It's impossible right now to Google information and a lot of guides that are posted on Reddit... The other Google results for FF14 are SEO-engineered garbage. It's not just about posting memes this is a big deal.

Thing is the Reddit CEO has said they will just wait it out so this has no benefit to any of us.

I'll always support people trying to stand up to corporations. If they feel Reddit is going in a way they don't like, I'll gladly cheer them on for doing something about it. Too much we just say things but aren't willing to actually DO something about it (me included!)

Thats literally why it was closed in the first place, mods on their petty little powertrip. But since mods like their power, they will reopen soon anyway cause no way they let Reddit take away their mod status. Alot of subs already opened up. Especially after Reddit said accessibility tools will be exempt from the API pricing change it was nothing more than internet janitors trying to display their perceived power. You are absolutely delusional if you think this blackout is 1. gonna last for longer than a week 2. it will change Reddits stance

That's nice and all but you're also hurting 99% of your community who don't give a shit about third party apps or whatever and just need to get answer for a FF14 question.

I think the internet would be a better place without Reddit and I hope the entire website collapses. But hopes and dreams are free and that's very unlikely to happen. My own personal biases aside, I think it's admirable and respectable that people are taking a stand for what they believe in, even if I don't agree with them. I feel the same way when the eco-terrorists glue themselves in a canoe onto the highway during peak hour. Yes it's annoying and inconvenient, but at least they're putting themselves out there for a cause greater than themselves because of their convictions which is more than most people would ever do. Apparently, that includes you, who would go even further and gladly throw people who have worked for years to build that community under the bus for the sake of your own convenience.

You can ask in the game, I know it 's crazy

If not, then wait until they're done with the blackout /shrug
