Many of the reopening subs are going the @maliciouscompliance route. Perhaps /r/pcgaming can become a discussion entirely focused on politically correct gaming now.
Even if not, the mods that actually care about the community will be the ones who get replaced so the subs will turn into shitshows even without deliberate sabotage.
I love this alternative idea so much i would briefly go back just to check it out.
Seriously though cause ive seen this opinion a few times: Anyone thinking the malicious compliance route is beneficial to the company.. i dont agree. It may drive traffic and engaging right now but the standards of quality get lowered and these funny compliant jokes will get tiring as people try to find a proper source of content.
Sad as hell, the mods seemed to be strong in their vision about why they wanted to continue the blackout and ended up giving up at the first glance of the possibility of being removed as mods. After all they didnt care about making a difference as much as they cared about continuing to be mods.
Yeah, their post about preserving the community reads very hollow. Is a community worth preserving if it’s context, and rules, and user submitted content are all owned, controlled, and misused by a corporation?
If we can’t have it, neither can Reddit makes much more sense. The community can exist without Reddit and they don’t seem to see the value in their community
