MODERATORS
 

The subreddit r/steam, about the digital game storefront, received as many other subreddits a notice to open the community again, or else the mods would be replaced by those who abide.

The mods followed suit posting the following automod message under every new post:

As ya'll likely know, we've been dark to support the blackout against reddit's antagonistic behavior towards its own userbase. The admins sent us a message today saying we must open or get removed, so here we are.

For those of you browsing this subreddit on non-official apps (Reddit is Fun, Apollo, Sync, Boost, etc), they will break on July 1st due to reddit's new policies. We're opening back up but will leave permanent stickies in the subreddit and threads to keep folks in the know.

Our Discord [contains link to https://discord.gg/steam] server is active, don't forget to check it out.

Good luck and god speed.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

On visit, you quickly notice there is a community wide effort to focus on the literal topic of the given name and post about vapors, steam trains, and kitchen appliances. While posts about the gaming platform get downvoted.

Epic sub bouta get pretty poetic. Wonder if we can pull it off with other subs. Trees being about trees, Rimjob Steve being about a man named Steve who makes vehicle rims, Piracy with actual pirates, Cats vs tech being about cats actively destroying pieces of technology etc

Trouble is there is both trees and marijuanaenthusiasts subs so that would kinda cancel each other out

[–] d_bradr 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As if marijuanaenthusiasts is filled with enthusiasts and not just stoners. There's a big difference between a gourmand and somebody who just loves eating

[–] Chocrates 5 points 1 year ago

Not sure if I am missing the joke but that sub is about trees, the tall woody plants that give you shade and not the kind that get you high.

[–] KingYoloHD 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wait

Cats vs tech is not about cats destroying Tech??????

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

This one confused me as well

[–] d_bradr 3 points 1 year ago

From what little I've seen it's about cats being amazed or freaked out by tech

Rimjob Steve? Am I missing out or should I just not dive into that rabbit hole?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's actually amusing. It's a sub for capturing genuine, or thoughtful, or informative replies from people with nearly pornographic names, like RimJobSteve.

[–] Fluba 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Interesting. Fingers crossed we get something like that in the fediverse.

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can make it happen! Unlike on Reddit, any user can make as many communities as you want afaik

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Reddits got limitations on the number of subs you can make?

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan 1 points 1 year ago

Yep! Regular users can only make 1 subreddit. Tbh I can't remember how you get permission to make more

[–] d_bradr 5 points 1 year ago

Rimjob Steve is about situations like a guy named PeeIsSquirt giving you financial advice
