Since someone answered my question with a direct message (hahah), I'll share it here. If you click on the person's name, there's a "send message" link.
On a desktop browser this is on the right sidebar under their profile pic (if they have one). On mobile, that same panel is almost at the bottom of the page.
I always felt "subreddit" was silly. I call them communities, even on reddit and that word works for me.
Actually, any new leader would likely leave Ukraine immediately. The war has been an overwhelming failure and embarrassment, and the new leader can blame the old leader for leading the country down that road.
Putin would leave too if he didn't think that admitting defeat would get him killed.
What he's been saying is that the Russian Ministry of Defense has been lying to Putin. So I'd say this is Wagner and Putin working together to manufacture a face-saving pretext to leave Ukraine.
I think there's a loud, negative minority that WILL stay there, and it's going to become even more of the type of place that they like.
The real win is having a viable place that people can go instead of Reddit, to force Reddit to compete and improve itself in general. (or have a place people can go if Reddit ultimately shuts down)
To that end, I would stay right here, and then someday if Reddit improves enough, maybe consider using both.
Yeah that must be it, always making subrabbits
"Now if you'll excuse me, my ship and I have an appointment to keep at the bottom of the ocean."
Imagine watching Twitter circle the drain and thinking "I should make similar decisions"
Over just the last couple of days, kbin has gotten so much better, I honestly haven't even thought about checking that other site what's it called? r-something? Can't remember
Even if this were true, 3rd party moderator tools are going away as well, and that affects everyone. I've heard it said that it's basically impossible to moderate a big subreddit without 3rd party tools. If so, those communities will rot, and Reddit is unlikely to respond fast enough with improved tools.
The real migration will come later, and more gradually. This was really more of a good trial run.
TBF, the emergency exit is still there, you just can't access it
