How can we reopen the FF14 subreddit?

[LianaThorne]

plenty of the sites mentioned come up before Reddit, I really don't see Reddit as this thing that drowns out google searches.

I didn't want to say it but yeah...you'd have to intentionally scroll past those sites to find Reddit posts imo. Searching "ffxiv crafting leveling guide" brings up Gillionaire Girls, Icy Veins and Teamcraft before Reddit even shows up. I don't even see a Reddit link when searching for "ffxiv gathering timers". Same situation when searching "ffxiv msq quest guide".

Comes off more as wanting to get the info just from Reddit than just getting the information in general.

There is plenty of useful wikis for FFXIV. To be honest, r/ffxiv was not a big thing for a while...95% of this sub was based on artworks and moderator's ego.

/r/ffxivdiscussion/ is more relevant, it's how this forum was supposed to be.

Also friendly reminder the FFXIV sub thread is up to vote. It seems a vast majority want it reopened.

Yeah, I saw that. It's so easy to sometimes get caught up with some of the trolls on these forums who are actually out of touch with what the actual casual playerbase thinks. It's kind of heartwarming to see a lot of the commenters say how much they missed having access to the information there and would rather have it stay open. These folks over here on these forums will have you spinning your head; it's no wonder why nobody wants to post here.

People enjoy looking at reddit for many different reasons. The reddit mods are being selfish to have it locked when ffxiv players just want to browse user generated content about a game they enjoy. Especially as its the user of said reddits that make it thrive not the mods themselves who don’t contribute much.

Reddit is just better publicity for posting content over most other places. Especially for content creations.
There's a reason creators rarely advertise here.

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)

I find this funny because they were mass kicking/banning people over their hypocritical pride month post as well.

It's reopened now.
