    I’ll repeat what I’ve been communicating to some friends that are also mods: don’t bother with half measures, “the community voted for a joke with John Oliver!” or “technically we are not violating the ToS!” - Reddit doesn’t care, this isn’t a court battle, they can and will change whatever rule they want.

    There’s no point in fighting this fight. It’s a massive pain to let go of a large community you helped build, but take the little time you still have in control to migrate to Lemmy and don’t look back. Link your users here, teach them how to use Lemmy. If doing so means in 48 hours they lock your account, guess what, they would lock your account regardless, “malicious compliance” is fun but isn’t a true solution. There’s no solution at this point.

      We can screw up their IPO a bit. I’m sure all the press isn’t helping potential investors feel any better about the new securities being offered.

      FFS, my almost 80 year old dad was in the know about the place burning to the ground.

      @kadu It’s not pointless at all. Really it’s a warning to whoever wants to start a community. If you do something reddit doesn’t like, be prepared to lose what you built, even if following the rules
