exodus

twas an exodus of redditors leaving the platform,
many subs are restricted, many more are private.
the protest continues, a desperate cry for reform,
with the DT closed down, r/melbourne went quiet.
some went to discord, others flocked here
to vent, to query, to share, and commiserate
thank you to those who set up this sphere,
though new to me, to all of you I appreciate.
