The protest has never ended. We have been trying to communicate with Reddit admins, who seemed at first to be willing to talk to us, but we are only getting the silent treatment and threats to reopen the subreddit.

All legacy technical posts will remain available so that searching for help related to the browser is still available, but henceforth and until the reddit admins appropriately reply to our concerns, the only new submissions allowed will be ones that contain the cuddly fuzzy little animals from which the subreddit indirectly received its name:‌

The red panda! Also known as fire foxes. ‌

If you are looking for technical posts, we now have an official community on Kbin. Keep in mind that Lemmy also federates with Kbin. We continue to be around on Matrix as well.

Yay for Firefox!!

we now have an official community on Kbin.

To be clear, they don't mean kbin.social, but another server that runs the Kbin software. Lemmy users wanting to join should search for this: https://fedia.io/m/firefox

Full malicious compliance, I adore it and good for them.

So the solution to them not listening to you, is to give in???

Fucking stay dark. and stop being doormats.

[–] Lionir@beehaw.org 7 points 2 years ago

I would not say that moving to kbin is giving in..

Move to lemmy. r/nerf just moved to my instance discuss.online/c/nerf. Change all your content to be about foxes getting fired from their jobs.

[–] stopthatgirl7@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Um, that’s basically what they did? They changed it to only be fox and red panda pics, and linked to their kbin. They say so in the bottom of the post.

[–] jgrim@discuss.online 1 points 2 years ago

I see now. I didn't realize that's what that was.
