Wow great to see some corporate backing.

Reddit is really screwing everything up

It makes sense. They're probably worried that if/when moderators leave, the subreddit would become too low-quality or controversial to risk associating with.

Good move from Mojang even though I haven't played Minecraft much since the Wii U era.

Now the question is: will they run their own federated instances of Lemmy/Kbin/Mastodon/etc.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I'd say low / no chance since they refer users to Minecraft forums instead
