How can we reopen the FF14 subreddit?

[ZephyrMenodora]

It's reopened now.

It's opened in restricted mode so the community can vote. It's not fully open yet.

It seems like pretty much every response is requesting they fully reopen.

So much for the vast majority supposedly wanting an ongoing blackout...

It's open enough to find info. I miss ShitpostXIV tho

phew, I was wondering when I was going to be able to see commissioned art, low quality memes, and *checks notes* pictures of painted nails...

Na, the people have spoken, I'm okay with it. Enjoy your stuff that I don't enjoy, that's okay.

They wanted it last time they were polled, and the plan from the start was to reassess it later, which they have now done.

The general drift from the comments didn't seem to simply be "we don't want to protest" but "enough other subreddits have ended their protests that continuing ours won't help".

Friendly reminder that opposing the power tripping Reddit mods doesn't mean you support Reddit's corporate overlords. Its possible for them both to be garbage humans at the same time.

Both suck. But the mods are the ones making themselves a public nuisance right now.

Best way to show reddit is to find other reddit comparable and do your best to support them, ideally you upgrade in terms of mechanics.. though you will most certainly downgrade in terms of community scale and likely quality of posting for quite some time. Turning off the reddit is fine and all for a little while but it's what their third time doing this? It's easy for CEOs to fall on their sword when they can fail upwards (in the eyes of the consumer).

Of course many people don't care / wont, just like "fight the game companies with their cash shop / pre-order full price early access quality games". But if it's meaningful, finding those new communities and actively contributing could at some point do a 'thing'. Like the exodus of WoW, whether temporary or not, is an example of a problem and then a potential solution readily being available at the same time. If the potential solutions don't get cultivated then when the problem comes along everyone is just going to hunker down harder rather than have an opportunity to branch out.

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 saw their original poll. A whole 800 comments (assuming there aren't repeats) out of 800K users...

They also don't seem to have a poll at all, they are just counting comments.

I mean you're not missing much from the subreddit, just a bunch of modded pics and fan art. You can get the same experience by just googling FF14 fanart.

Only 800 comments (960 now) but 11000 up votes. If people disagreed I don't think that would be the case.
