They wanted out anyway, Microsoft wants control and they were using Reddit just like DJI is using reddit: they were a bit forced to follow. This is a perfect opportunity to leave and make the support happen on their own platform. Other big brands will be inspired and will leave reddit too.
Minecraft dev here: support on Reddit was always more of a passion project for a few people and not a hard mandate.
Leaving reddit was the teams choice (I assume for the same reason some of you left, reddit went to shit).
Have they considered going someplace else like Lemmy? I was a little disappointed that they didn't offer an equivalent alternative to go to.
At a guess if something like here starts becoming popular with people I suspect they'll comment here for example. Kbin is growing, see what happens I guess.
The "equivalent" is already / has been pushed hard in the launcher and youtube content. Mojang / Microsoft already has it's own Feedback forum-style thing.
Yeah but that was the appeal of things like reddit. Not having to go to all manner of different forums for the specific interest.
