Props to the mods over there!

Not gonna link the names, but for real, these guys belong in some kind of hall of fame. Stay strong, fuck /u/spez.

edit for future people: It looks like the android subreddit made a whole server! It can be found here: https://lemdro.id/

Makes a lot of sense since it's a sub for power users. The proportion of 3rd party app users is probably among the highest at Reddit

[-] Dark_Blade@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

r/Nintendo is still down too, which means even Mario’s had enough of spez and his bullshit.

[-] geogle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

And that dude has been talking crap/barrels from Donkey Kong going on 40 years now.

It's so nice to see some subreddits sticking to their guns and ideals and push through until real change happens! r/Nintendo is still down too, which was a nice surprise when I was looking around to see the state of my subs on Reddit.

[-] pory@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Oh wow, /r/nintendo stayed down through a Nintendo Direct that announced a new Mario game? That's a lot more chutzpah than I'd expect from a subreddit focused on a game console.

[-] curiosityLynx@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

That's indeed impressive.

[-] figaro@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Hot damn they mean business. NICE!

[-] NightOwl@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

They are more based than /r/pcgaming, /r/pcmasterrace, /r/linux, and /r/buildapc. Got my respect. To see them still holding strong is not at all what I would have expected. PC community pretty much completely dropped the ball.

For the record, I know this because I'm going through my old comments and turning them into ads for lemmy 😅

[-] RomanRoy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Just a heads up

Go to reveddit.com and throw your username in there. Check if your comments aren't being shadow removed.

Not much you could do about it, tho, but I noticed that the comments I edited to make an ad for Lemmy were all removed. They show up for me, but for other users it shows as "removed".

Reveddit lets you know that.

[-] curiosityLynx@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Just checked mine. Apparently, some of my edited comments were removed, while others stayed up (with identical content).

Subreddits where my edited comments (in new) were removed unconditionally:

  • /r/linguistics
  • /r/nottheonion
  • /r/memes (only commented in that subreddit for a short time frame, so whatever auto-removal there is might only apply to edits to old comments)
  • /r/eu4 (lots of removals, but 1 edited comment survived, no idea why, it's neither the youngest nor oldest edited comment there)

Partial removal subreddits:

  • /r/facepalm (some edited comments survived, at least one was reversed, didn't notice a pattern, might be based on user reports or depend on which mod sees it)
  • /r/pettyrevenge (edits of comments younger than about a month were removed, edits of older comments survived)

Also, looks like some subreddits that were private when I ran the edit script (like /r/MadeMeSmile) have since gone public, so I'll have to re-run Power Delete Suite.

[-] Maximilious@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Of all places, /r/amiibo removed my edited post because they banned the term kbin.social. That was a jawdrop wtf moment for me lol.

I hope you're not doing this manually. Power Delete Suite can also do edits.

[-] champion@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Honestly I feel that the android community here on lemmy is more active than the r/android subreddit before the lockdown

[-] Devgard@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

way more active and less random spam imo, seems more interesting than actual r/android lol

[-] RoboRay@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I'm perfectly fine with less total content if it actually stays on-topic.

[-] randromeda@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

What do you mean? You're telling me you don't want to watch reviews for the weekly Oppo/Honor/Xiaomi/Nubia phones with identical specs?

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's like old school r/android.

[-] Nano@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

As it should be, all the subreddits that was part of this protest should have done that and not given the end date

[-] UprisingVoltage@feddit.it 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I honestly don't understand why they bothered going dark in the first place just to reopen after a few days. That's what it turns a protest into a minor inconvenience

[-] gccalvin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Meanwhile.. At r/selfhosted...

[-] figaro@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm interested in doing this but I don't want to have a computer/server running in the background 24/7. I'd do it if I could use like, an old cellphone though lol

Still super shitty that sync for reddit is vanishing soon. While it's great that apparently it's getting re-leveraged as a fediverse reader, still amazed at how poorly this API transition happened because Spez wants to be a knob

[-] Gangreless@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Admins are going to be taking them over soon. I got the threatening modmail on all my subs, even the really tiny under 1000 ones

[-] yokonzo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I mean, they can threaten thousands of subs that they're gonna take over... But with what manpower

[-] MoonshineBrew@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Sadly most mods seem to give in the moment their existences as mods are endangered.

huh? what is a reddit? who is a "Spez"?

[-] Sterben@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Hell yeah! :) I just edited all my comments in:

r/apple is not which I find very disappointing

[-] Poe@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Seems on brand of them

[-] realbaconator@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Typical average consumer does not care as long as they get to keep using the product. That's likely the majority of Apple users, it'll take a replacement (like this one) getting popular enough for them to notice and try it, otherwise on Reddit they'll stay till death.

[-] Flipht@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

With apple aficionados, it would also take costing a lot of money to make them interested.

[-] essteeyou@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Nah, just a different colored bubble for their messages.

[-] sota2077@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Props to the mods, but they are on borrowed time. It is just a matter of time before Reddit admins step in and take over the site. I just hope that replacement mods say enough to get the role and then immediately carry on.

A logic move, power users after all

[-] isdfoa@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Love to see it! nd great to see the growing android community here as well. Is this community created by the same mod team?

[-] croobat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

r/androidapps is also still going hard!

[-] asilentletter@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

One of the sub I joined has been mostly private since the protest began. They only open the sub up once a week or so for the community to vote for the next step the sub should take.

[-] happyhippo@feddit.it 1 points 1 year ago

I wish we had an official android_beta here, missing it quite a bit
