EDIT: GO DM MODS OF YOUR FAVORITE SUBREDDITS AND POLITELY ASK ABOUT MIGRATION!: something as simple as “Hey, I love this community but I no longer use reddit, will you guys be making a community on Kbin or other alternatives? Let me know please, thanks.” will work!! We need more voices encouraging migration!

PART 1

PART 2

ModCodeofConduct switching subs to SFW

POST ABOUT MODS FORCIBLY SWITCHING SUBS BACK TO SFW (teddit)

“What the users want” my ass. Reddit doesn’t give 2 shits about what the users want.

If you guys wanna do more and get back at reddit, consider using a program that has gathered hundreds of their advertiser emails an emailing them to try and stop them from advertising, there is a email guide inside as well! USE BCC, NOT TO OR IT WILL SHOW ALL THE COMPANIES EVERYONE YOU EMAILED.

edit:

    If moderators/subreddits are going to migrate, they’re already going to be aware about it and probably thinking about it.

    I am a mod as well, I cannot see how someone politely asking if we are thinking about making a community on a diff platform can be perceived as pestering?

    Think about it from this side: users can’t see what messages the mods are getting. You’re asking people to DM moderators - politely doesn’t matter. What if 10 people see your message and act on it? Then you’ve got 10 people saying “Are you guys gonna migrate? Are you migrating? What do you think about migrating?”

    It appears this is individual and not every mod will be annoyed and not every mod wont be annoyed.

    Very true, but I really don’t think unsolicited messages to subreddits asking them to migrate - for YOUR benefit - is a good idea. In any case, forget about migrating. Just create the communities you want to see here, on lemmy/kbin/wherever. You don’t need to wait for moderators to do it.

      If you are getting annoyed because so many of your users want to migrate, maybe you should consider migrating instead of demonizing your users?

      I didn’t wait personally, I went ahead and made @SilentHill, then I dmed the r/SilentHill mods politely letting them know about it and also offering them mod positions there, and I got a nice response and takers, now so far I have one of their mods modding my mag here. It can work.

      By all means, don’t wait, the reason why I suggest DMing them is because thats how you get the most people to migrate, they have the most influence and a base of members already. I am still protesting, even if out of spite at this point since Reddit probably won’t back down, so I want the max amount of people we can get to leave their shitty platform to migrate.

      IMO 10 people suggesting it says “this is in higher demand than we thought, not just one random person’s suggestion that we can ignore” Which is how changes happen.

      You’re a mod. Post a sticky addressing it or use a third party tool to handle these things.

      You have every right to keep your community on whatever platform but don’t shame people because they are mobilizing others and it causes you inconvenience. The issue isn’t the users, nor the people messaging you, if you want to be mad at someone it is Reddit that is causing you grief.
