The final warning was enough to cause the moderators for r/Military—a forum partly devoted to helping veterans—to stop operating as a NSFW subreddit. “We are now stuck in a difficult position as we do not want the community to die,” the moderator team wrote.

Cowards.

I dont know what everyone was expecting. Enduring nonsensical rules, shitty working conditions and incompetent authority figures is about the most military thing there is.

Fr. Surprises me that military personnel of all people would be so fragile. Don't give in. Post "hey we're moving to Lemmy, see you there" and fucking go. It's 2023 going to a new site is the easiest thing in the world, it's not like 1999 where most of the forum would have difficulty doing that..

I don't think that's fair. People can come here if they want. They can hate Reddit if they want. Let's not demonize communities that decided to reopen is best for their community. It doesn't need to be some judgement "Fuck everyone who didn't come to here".

That's fair. It still makes them cowards though, word definitions don't change because we want harmony.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

It's cowardly to make a stand against the admins and then just roll over when they tell you to sit down and shut up. Doesn't matter if it's Reddit or anywhere else.

Agreed. I’m actually really enjoying the filter right now. I mean, I want reddit to fall apart too, but I am more interested in lemmy succeeding, and they are different wants.

I mean, they've got their priorities right. It's reddit's fault that they're killing their own communities. We should try to reach out in subs like this and help them set up on lemmy.
