Surprising nobody, Reddit Corp threatening a gaming sub of a fanatically anti-corporate video game doesn’t go as they’d hoped.

The mod team have basically decided that “Fuck Reddit” is the way forward, and appear to have practically total support of their entire sub for the choice taken.

Presumably, we’re about to get a Cyberpunk community on Fediverse soon. :p

    R/pics is also refusing to go down without a fight, and I’m kind of loving watching all this from the sidelines.

    Reddit already got caught using ChatGPT to astroturf in posts supporting the admins, so I wonder if some of the people the mods mentioned popping in for drama are actually ChatGPT.

      “I love everything that STEVE HUFFMAN is doing with REDDIT and will stand behind him in any endeavor. In addendum, he does not look like a crack-addicted lemur. End statement. Please insert coin to continue.”

          I can’t help but think of 4chan’s unofficial tagline of “trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls”.

          The joke used to be that “everyone on Reddit is a bot except you”, but as that has become more a reality than a joke, it’s morphed into “text-AIs trolling text-AIs trolling text-AIs”.

          A shame it doesn’t [t]roll off the tongue quite as nicely.

          Am I also a large language model? Let me answer that with another question:

          Do you remember that bit in The Matrix Reloaded where Agent Smith occupies Bane out in “reality”?

          Haha. Nothing like that. I’m human. Honest.

            “You see a turtle in the middle of the road, lying upside down. Do you offer it assistance, or leave it to die?”
