The Coup of /r/AssholeDesign

This is a community for designs specifically crafted to make the experience worse for the user. This can be due to greed, apathy, laziness or just downright scumbaggery.
You should have redirected your community somewhere else to begin with. It’s not your site. They make their own rules up. You played chicken with the Hoover dam.
They took a principled stance it's no surprise they wouldn't break it without good reason.
And they did redirect people to Lemmy as best they could. I'm actually shocked reddit let them send those DMs with the Lemmy community in it.
