MODERATORS
 

The r/Warframe subreddit will be reopening in a restricted form on June 21st, when the 7 Crimes of Kullervo update releases.

While dormi.zone was initially created as an alternative platform for r/Warframe on Reddit during its blackout, since then we have gained subscribers from all across the fediverse who have been yearning for a place to discuss Digital Extremes' flagship game. Thank you for joining and helping this community grow!

We recognize that there needs to be a space to discuss the fate of r/Warframe, but we're also noticing a rising amount of duplicate posts about this topic, aggravating users who are here to discuss Warframe the videogame and may have even found their way here through means other than our blackout.

To keep these posts from overwhelming the frontpage of this community without denying them the visibility they should have, we will be funneling all discussion about the r/Warframe subreddit in this pinned megathread.

Once r/Warframe reopens, meta discussion about r/Warframe will return to Reddit.

I see lots of posts here saying the blackout is bad. I just wanted to say that I like the blackout. Thanks.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I agree. Got a good excuse to try something new and turns out it does some things in a way I like better than what I was already using. Still need to figure out a few things but this is nice.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I'm personally happy that dormi.zone exists and I hope it grows into it's own little part of the community overtime, maybe distancing itself from reddit's formatting a bit to be 'more than JUST the reddit alternative'. I'll probably even check in to get bullied about my out-of-date username every once in awhile. Still, it'll never be what the subreddit is, and I don't think it should try to be.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it makes me sad to see all the angry people here condemning the closure of the sub

if companies had their way we'd all be zombies dancing to their songs

this is just a small inconvenience to remind everyone how reddit can go to shit in the near future

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

People simply don't care about getting fucked by corporations because they've been conditioned to for decades. Someone told me that having all your data exploited is the price of admission for the internet...like come on, it is when you let it

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Honestly, I was kind-of hoping that any reopening of the sub would be for knowledge categorization and collection to be brought here.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

We aren't closing the lemmy instance, once we open it, feel free to take guides to archive them here. Reddit shouldn't be the only repository of collected information by the fans. Historically, game information was spread out and exchanged throughout different forums so that the information constantly exists for fandoms with the most dedicated of users; a lot of our information we can't exactly store on the wiki, as they have are different ways to obtaining content as well as research and discussion to support why certain metas are the way they are.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Good, I like it here. I'll have to take a look through the sub once it reopens.

An unfortunate decision, but ultimately a rather understandable one. I have some mild complaints about Lemmy, primarily those related to how....incredibly alpha it feels on all the iOS browsers I've tried. Even despite that, given the whole reason for the blackout to begin with, I would've been more than happy to stay on here long term. "Well why don't you do just that, even if the sub reopens?" probably because the already incredibly small community (even including non-posting lurkers) here will all just pack up and leave back to reddit making this a total ghost town. Unfortunate, but thems the facts. Though perhaps I'm just trying to rationalize being a hypocrite. Dormi.Zone's a super cute name, too.

Wonder who'll be the first to post primed Wisp Ass and get all those sick reddit updoots.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I've said this elsewhere but I like the smaller and overall more positive community here, I don't even miss r/warframe and have no plans to go back unless this one dies completely. We dont need millions of active users to have a nice space here, and it's only a matter of time before reddit shits the bed again and people wish they had an alternative.

edit: about the browsing experience: I'm on kbin so the layout on dormi.zone is different for me. I have to say it feels very sleek and professional and with some user enhancement scripts I also have collapsing comment threads, domains next to all usernames and similar improvements.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

tbf all ios browsers are just re-skins for safari, there's really only the one browser on ios.

True legends will get both in the same shot. The beginning of Mirage Oneiro Noble's Rifle/Shotgun idle springs to mind as a potential pick, depending on how much certain bits of cloth get in the way.

Will it explicitly and repeatedly mention communication carries on over here? Because most people just do not know

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just made a lemmy account, i doubt i'll return to reddit, this protest and management response has shown the worst side of reddit i've never seen and am disgusted. good to see warframe is active here.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Reddit has done so much worse than that, up to and including hosting sexual content involving minors (and defended it!).

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

reopening in a restricted form

What are we talking about here? Will it be a protest similar to r/steam or r/pics, a restriction on who can post/comment, or something else entirely?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

To me it sounds like "Visible" but cant comment or post. Considering the most relevant content of the Sub were Guides and Funsies, I believe just being able to see those without generating new Content for Reddit is the right balance for Making a Point and Helping Players/DE

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Only pictures of John Oliver as a Warframe?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

No, pictures of John Prodman.

Photoshops John Oliver's head onto Prodman

It looks like the whole conundrum of the issue is that Reddit own mobile website or mobile apps are not correctly showing the message on the closed sub, but only that it is now a private sub, see https://dormi.zone/comment/90345

[–] Presi300 8 points 1 year ago

r/Warframe should not reopen, put a big banner on the sub, redirecting people to the lemmy instance.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

so, are we just doing discussions about the original subreddit on reddit, or are we returning all our warframe posts to reddit?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

My Warframe posts are staying here. Would be amusing if the sub was turned into just a meta-sub discussing the pre-blackout sub... in the same vein as the new John Oliver fan clubs.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It sucks that the corporation won once again, but I am happy that WF is one of the reddits I frequent that actually did it properly. You didn't fail us, mods, we failed you. I personally tried to stay off reddit completely, at least on the first two days and did limit my use of it in the next days after, but as the drug uses are coming back in droves, staying off it will not change much. Let's hope when RIP and Apollo close we get another wave of this.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know about others, but I'm definitely not coming back - didn't visit reddit after the blackout at all and somehow I'm still alive - turns out I can live without it!

I'm honestly a bit disappointed in the decision to reopen, not really surprised, mind you, but disappointed. Still, if moderators want to keep volunteering and providing free labor for a site that treats them like dirt and users prefer to watch tons of ads there that's their prerogative and I genuinely and unironically hope it makes them happy. I'm much happier here, and that's why here is where I'll stay.

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

I'd like to not go back. Do you by any chance know a place that aggregates news headlines?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Try https://lemmyverse.net/communities
Grid View
List View

Adding a subscription is a little weird, in the grid view hover something you’re interest in like “[email protected]” and click to copy that link. Next in the search bar of dormi.zone (or wherever you’re signed in) paste that text in and click subscribe.

*If you are on desktop, you can easily visit an instance without going through search like this:

Subscription Pending I think is related to high traffic. https://lemmy.one/post/204536

As for news, I get a 404 trying to connect to [email protected] but [email protected] works correctly for me from a dormi.zone instance.

No issues using [email protected]

*If you are seeing 404s when trying to view content from a different instance, try to make sure you set a language. Go to Settings > Languages > Pick a language from the dropdown and then click Save

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

For Warframe or in general? If it's the former, I just use the official website, if the latter, recently I'm a fan of https://www.newsminimalist.com/

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Attempting to stop supporting a massive company you don't like while actively and provably damaging a smaller company and community that you DO like was and is a terrible idea, frankly. I would have been so disappointed if the sub stayed closed while 7 Crimes launched, thinking about the analytics guy at DE looking at the tangible dip of week 1 player activity post-patch (compared to other updates) because the people who usually see the updates coming from looking at the reddit just didn't know it even came out. Honestly, even keeping it closed for the next few days will hurt the anticipation buildup and negatively effect activity, but whatever. Better now than never.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

I deleted my twitter account for less. Is it an issue that I stopped supporting a "massive company" because I didn't like how it was being run? (not that twitter was run particularly well before it was bought). It's not the first time a platform has killed itself. (looking at tumbler)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And now Tumblr is under new leadership and thanks to Twitter and Reddit doing their shenanigans… it’s been having a resurgence lol

grateful. it's nice to see an alternative, but it's rough knowing that the countless things i submitted were lost even to me (since, you know, privating a sub also makes it impossible for a user to retrieve even their own submitted content.)

[–] The_Vampire 3 points 1 year ago

Thank you mods for all you do for the community. Please don't give up the good fight.

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

Please do a community vote on the subreddit on whether people want it to stay closed. To be honest this sort of large decision should have been left up to the community rather than forced on to the community

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

reddit is the one forcing decisions into every community within it

it might not be as sudden as a temporary closure of a sub but will have longer lasting effects
