As I’m sure you have already seen this latest edit provides some info about moderation tools. I’m no mod so I’m asking, is this a change you hoped to achieve, concerning moderation tools? I know the paid API thing is still there, but besides that, are these good news if they follow up on them?
Well different polling methods all have drawbacks and advantages, idk which is the best. Apparently there are discords linking these polls so that protesters can vote on everything. Prolly just a rumor.
I just disagree on the NSFW thing in principal. It creates a wrong image of the sub, potentially more work for the mods and more volatile content. All that on the assumption that reddit will be financially hurt from advertisers pulling out. How much will they hurt or even at all is unknown and poe is not like a 30m user sub. Too many problems for too much of an ucertain benefit imo. And bridges are already kinda burned, but this will just be the final nail in the coffin for GGG using reddit to communicate.
Your concerns are super valid. And on the GGG using reddit to communicate I can tell you they stopped doing that already for other reasons a while back. I’m sure we’ll see a big Chris post about PoE 2 at some point but not much else. Fighting toxicity is really really hard. We eliminate 90% of it and it’s still a lot
Ultimately we have to go with what the community decides here, now that we’ve polled. The community is asking to determine the future and they’ve made the vote clear.
That said, we will absolutely re-poll the community later (a week? a month?) to ask if they want to stop it, so there will be more opportunities to change it. This protest won’t be forever. I’d say just take a deep breath and keep using the subreddit as before, starting later tonight (PT).
