The rust subreddit is apparently considering moving to Lemmy:

Would love to see a list of large subreddits that aren't participating and the statements (if any) they put out explaining why.

This is a fantastic idea, thank you.

If i may dream, the actual solution to this issue would be a mod/user takeover along the lines of a factory occupation, or a more peaceful worker buyout. (Sometimes the former leads to the latter.)

When the tools of production are a server farm, how do they get taken over? What does it look like?

To be a little more grounded, the real targets of this action should not be "reddit" or /u/spez. It should be whoever is actually in charge. Do we know who that is?

Hell, I'll let this be my first comment; it's on a different instance than my account to boot! I'm running into some issues with some of the newer instances not being federated; some of the subreddits I was hoping to replace here are unavailable as a result. Still, I'm happy enough to be a part of something new and different.

r/programming is private even though I think a lot of the mods were reddit employees, I think even u/spez. what is going on lol
