What do you think of using Lemmy as the "main forum" for Planetside?
What do you think of using Lemmy as the "main forum" for Planetside?
Barring the exceptionally unlikely case of Reddit reversing course, the /r/Planetside is dead.
Discord isn't really a good platform for a public forum and the official forums are still ..the official forums.
Do you think this could work out?
You're viewing a single thread.
If the mods are going to keep /r/planetside closed indefinitely. I could see this working out.
Just going to have to advertise this places existence.
Although, I hope /r/planetside opens up again. Just because almost a decade of posts the community has created is just . . . gone. That does not sit right with me.
Keeping the Planetside subreddit closed indefinitely is a bad move. This "protest" will pass like all the others and there is a decade's worth of content and history there that people should see.
Personally, I think these protests are hurting users more than they are hurting Reddit. But I'm fine with it transitioning over the Lemmy or where ever else, but discoverability is the issue there.
Part of it though is that if you hurt the users enough then they're kinda forced to go elsewhere. I know it sucks, but the alternative is to continue using Reddit and I don't think I need to explain why that would be bad.

Agreed. "Opening" back up but effectively going read-only by restricting new submissions is the way to go and many of the other subs have done that already. I hope /r/Planetside will follow.
Reddit and the LLM creators already have the historical data; all this drama is about future data.
