That’s my situation as well. Out of curiosity I went into reddit today to see how different it would look. It’s close to the same. A lot of the subs I go to are in the “Yeah it sucks but we’re small so we won’t make a dent so fuck it…” other subs like /r/games with their BS excuse of “we support it but don’t want to do anything about it”. Overall, kind of the same. Kind of makes me sad
There is only one sub I use that has not attempted to do anything about the API issue. They stickied a post forwarded to an explanation of what is happening in support of the blackout, but it is an important time period for us so no one was going to allow a full shut down. It’s one of the few non-toxic places to discuss our fandom. Beyond that sub, the others don’t matter much to me.
r/starfield?
No, it’s actually for BTS, the kpop group. It’s their 10 year anniversary today so celebrations have been going on for the past week or so. Unfortunately, a lot of kpop-based subs are toxic due to fan wars, antis, and the parasocial (also, music subs in general snub their nose at the group because they don’t realize the lyrics are all about mental health, societal commentary, etc. and that most of the fandom are adults). All that to say, the sub I am a part of is great at moderating the negativity out and keeping it a positive, chill place of discussion.
Man, sorry, I guess I wrote a lot there instead of just saying no lol.
