startrek.website is a partnership between /r/StarTrek and /r/DaystromInstitute from Reddit, they've both locked their subs over there for good. Follow [@startrek](https://startrek.website/c/startrek)
  • That's cool, and I get your perspective. Here's mine - I understand why some people are upset and no longer wish to support Reddit. The "right" thing to do, IMHO, would have been to start another community, explain why, and give people the option of migrating - pin it at the top or something. If you want to be more forceful, lock the sub so that no new info can be posted. As it is now, a small group of people unilaterally took action to "punish" Reddit and in doing so assumed control over my (the universal my - not my specifically, although I'm obviously included) content. That makes the mods no better than the corporation they're trying to protest, they're just using my content to different ends.

    Bottom line - each individual should have had the choice to boycott or not boycott.

  • Sorry - the downvotes have made me realize that "we had to destroy the village to save it" isn't third-grade bullshit, it's kindergarten bullshit. But please, play on, those, like, 5 of you who decided that it was your call to dump years of posts into oblivion because the platform that supported your conversation for years decided they'd had enough of freeloading.

  • Just like, my opinion, man. But to be fair I should rephrase - in the context of moderation they clearly have the right to keep content to community standards, and that may involve those actions, but beyond that, they have no right to act as the "owners" of that content, which is self-evident, as one of the complaints is that Reddit owns the content.

  • And that's fine. The mods, or whomever, have every right to go off and form another community, and the participants have every right to follow. The mods DON'T have the right to make the decision for me, restrict the content that I posted to a site they do not own, or otherwise interfere with my right to enjoy the archival content that they did not create. Hopefully the Reddit ownership will force the afflicted communities open sooner rather than later and let us each decide individually, rather than be subject to the whims of some babies that think an entity doesn't have the right to manage it's own tech.
