The global reddit situation has devolved to the point where reddit admins have been overtly lying and actively changing their site policies in order to remove and replace protesting moderators, despite having previously claimed they would “respect the community’s right to protest", among many other lies.
r/leagueoflinux is still restricted and actively polling for feedback in response to the ever-evolving situation. Please continue to share your thoughts in the sticky thread.
In the meantime, League of Linux has begun accepting submissions, including support requests, on Kbin at kbin.social/m/leagueoflinux
Rules are identical across both r/leagueoflinux and m/leagueoflinux
Guides and other information about Kbin can be found on /r/RedditAlternatives, r/KbinMigration, and their official documentation. I am not as intimate with Kbin as I am reddit, of course, so you’ll likely see many changes to the ‘magazine’ (subreddit) over the weekend.
As a short-n-sweet reminder: I launched leagueoflinux.org as the full-time replacement of the wiki this week as well; it’s open source, naturally :)
I have not yet worked on the Discord/Revolt side of things. I’ll update on that again this weekend. I wanted to make the announcement regarding Kbin sooner rather than later as it’s unclear how the situation on reddit will continue to develop moving forward.
I have been, and will continue to, monitor the evolution of the protest and responses closely. I sincerely don’t know what lies ahead for this site at large moving forward, nor for the fate of r/leagueoflinux and now m/leagueoflinux either. Things evolve quite rapidly and have only continued to escalate in intensity so far.
Fuck u/spez for actively sabotaging one of the last major bastions of Internet forum culture, and for showing a disgusting level of apathy and contempt towards the users, moderators, contributors, and developers who were fundamental to the success of your site. Resign you greedy, disrespectful, pig.
Honestly I’m pissed about the whole situation, but at this point the fact that there is still no actual community (Discord or Revolt), and things aren’t changing on Reddit from what I know, having this community here is just damaging to the community. I’ve been scrolling through the posts here and most of them have little to know help in terms of responses. The reddit posts were not only google searchable, but they also had some decent involvement in terms of debugging and community help.
