How can we reopen the FF14 subreddit?

Wow. I came to the forum wondering if I could find out why information regarding the game has been blocked off regarding Reddit when you google something you don't understand about the game, and I'm seeing the reason why. Some very juvenile responses to this post.

The whole blackout situation itself is juvenile. Juvenile mods trying to throw their weight around to stick it to juvenile admins all while juvenile redditors think that this is anything but a juvenile charade.

Keep in mind that it all started with the CEO being greedy and effectively shutting down third party readers.

. They also banned anyone who spoke out against this censorship. Mods became power-hungry dictators, erasing anyone who dared to challenge them.

Reddit mods will ban anyone they want for any reason they want, then mute you for protesting the ban, no accountability, no one to answer to..in recent years reddit has gained a reputation as the direct antithesis of free speech. The mods need a reality check. They do not own and did not create the content they are locking off for others. I hope they all get removed.

Reddit is losing money

It’s hard to anticipate the total amount of money Reddit will save and earn after implementing charges for high-usage, third-party apps. But Huffman says the “pure infrastructure costs” of supporting these apps costs Reddit about $10 million each year.

Experts also pointed to the significance of Reddit showing a way to charge AI companies that have historically used Reddit data at no cost to develop large-scale and for-profit AI models.

Companies or organisations that cant pay for themselves usually wind up closed.

Go call the cops on them.

From what I've seen, the community was polled ahead of this and a large majority chose in favor of going dark. There should be a poll up at some point today where you have the opportunity to vote for staying closed longer or opening back up. If anyone's looking for island sanctuary updates, look up the Overseas Casuals discord. It's the same group that put out the reddit threads for the IS workshop, so you can get your daily workshop schedule set or check out the fortuneteller recommendations if you just want to visit once a week.

I will honestly admit that I've been a whole lot more productive and less stressed in the last week since I haven't been on Reddit arguing with strangers.

Y'all are welcome to join the Tumblr XIV community in the meantime. We're weirdos, and we aren't attached to Google search at the hip like Reddit, but we're friendly.

It's looking rather obvious there'll be no budging, so if the subs going dark want to do more than piss into the wind they're going to have to nut up and take concrete action. That means immediately going scorched earth on their subs, leaving behind nothing but some links to alternate communities on other services. Anything else, is nothing but reddit waiting out the clock and forgetting this hiccup a week later. Sure, the site will probably do a rollback, but this way at least there's an attempt to jumpstart the exodus. All we're seeing right now is an "I can fix her" arc, as she passes out while smoking crack in the bathroom and sets the house on fire.

Have never needed to go to Reddit for anything. Take a break, do something else.

I think it's these moderators who need to go touch grass or something, they even have the audacity to ask people money....
Maybe getting an actual working job would be a good idea too.

Nothing against Pride or people donating to other good causes, but asking people to give money when you are withholding access to information and communication with others because you're on a power trip and are a bunch of freeloaders, is something else...

These moderators need to be removed and replaced ASAP, and July can't come soon enough...

Esecially when they got so bad that other subreddits had to be created to actually discuss FF14

The highly upvoted poster of that sub is a repost bot that posts PixV, Twitter ,Social media linked art that "coincidentally" are from artists that take commissions.


I wouldn't be surprised if the mods on that subreddit get kickbacks from artists hence why art is almost always at the top.
