Surprising nobody, Reddit Corp threatening a gaming sub of a fanatically anti-corporate video game doesn’t go as they’d hoped.
The mod team have basically decided that “Fuck Reddit” is the way forward, and appear to have practically total support of their entire sub for the choice taken.
Presumably, we’re about to get a Cyberpunk community on Fediverse soon. :p

Reddit: We love all the free labor our mods do for us Also Reddit: COMPLY OR BE REMOVED FROM YOUR INDENTURED SERVITUDE
I wonder if /r/lowSodiumCyberpunk will make the move as well. Or maybe the great schism will finally end and they’ll merge users again.
I love how Reddit is just coming right out and saying it, they think their users are total dumbshits who can’t read or observe anything that’s going on.
That’s just obvious pretense though. They can’t simply say “we want you to shut the fuck up with those protests and return to business as usual”, so they say “the improper use of the NSFW flair is confusing for the users, stop misapplying it for them, totally not because we are annoyed with your protest”
Honest communication hasn’t ever been the strong point of Reddit staff but they’re really taking it to new lows lately.
It started with “those third party apps are using up all our internets” as a mask for “the API was free because your content was borderline worthless but now we can sell it to AI companies” and the smell of bullshit has only grown stronger.
In the same vein, I really like that answer to the same ultimatum :) https://www.reddit.com/r/dndmemes/comments/14t5eei/admin_reply_as_promised_i_shitposted_my_way_into
I can’t see that unless I download their app. Can you summarize? I used to roll with dnd memes.
Admin threatens mod with removal, Mod asks admin to make an intimidation check.
They are really going to try to bully players of the game cyberpunk? The game which themes revolves around going out in a blaze of glory and fuck corpos. If nothing else marked the end of reddit this sure as hell does.
Don’t forget the part where the main plot of the game is corpos fucking you over too!
And I was planning on getting the game when the expansion comes out. I’m glad to see the community is holding strong against the very thing their game is about.
I have been sceptical after the disastrous launch but recently grabbed it myself during a sale, and I can really recommend it now. It still isn’t 100% perfect, but it is an enjoyable experience and great storyline, not to mention the amazing setting and visuals. It isn’t all that was promised before launch, but a complete and largely bug free experience.
You fuck with cyberpunk’s tech, you get fucked by cyberpunks.
It’s going to be a real mess
Did you play the game at launch?
On PC it got to an okay state pretty quickly. The others, not so much.
I recently bought it on sale. GTX 1060 6gb renders 50-60 fps (lowest settings) with some drops in crowded areas. It has never crashed, and never had any major bug. Game is stored on ssd, but I doubt it would run this smoothly on hdd Overally 100% playable on PC
Just start posting screenshots of the sexually explicit parts of the game and see how Reddit responds about taking away NSFW status.
They’re fine with posts being marked nsfw, because they can still post ads.
If the entire sub is nsfw, they can’t post ads in that sub.
That’s what this has always been about.
