I haven’t been to Reddit for a few days, I’ve also completely deleted my data and my profile from Reddit, and I don’t want to return.
Are we here to stay? Are you moving back to the Warframe subreddit? Are we moving elsewhere, like the official forum, for example?
Personally, I like Lemmy although I miss being able to use GIFs and directly upload videos, so I’m happy if we decide to stay here.
I don’t mind the move, and Lemmy has some nice features, like seeing upvote and downvote count separately. Shedding the downvote bots is also nice. The only thing that stings is losing access to the old Reddit posts there. If Lemmy gonna be the new status quo, the subreddit should be set to read-only instead.
I really like the tag dormi.zone, its very cute.
Personally, I’m enjoying the entire removal of the disallowed posts rule; but the content here is at a steadier pace and i dont have to see wisp ass when i check it; it does make me consider downsizing the requirements for disallowed posts on the main sub while we dont have any content streaming into it to make the change messy.
I do understand that the main sub has a few guides and resources and we could move or recreate into here by request. We already have a lot of information accessible by the main wiki, and the q/a nature of the official WF discord, as well as the larger fan-run Warframe discord; the best thing is just to know what would be the most important to bring in that isnt already available by those two, and then just get more and more niche in terms of information that has been discussed on the subreddit but not exactly made as a huge post and bring it here.
And for those that don’t know, if you cannot find your bookmarked posts via the wayback machine or adding
cache:to the beginning of your url, feel free to ask; I know it’s kind of annoying, but it’s what we’ve got for now at the very least. In terms of going public/restricted/read only, internally it’s a long consideration and debate on if we stay fully private or just read only just so people have access to the information.edit: i said post instead of url, my bad
Personally I’m not going back. I thought I could go to the official forum but the atmosphere and environment there didn’t seem to be suitable for some chill scrolling and memeing.
I used to frequent it and still do report bugs there, but with each update after TNW, the forum started feeling more and more focused just on complaining. Like, you’ll see 48694 posts ‘circuit bad’ with many replies and likes, but if someone makes a post praising the game or discussing things like fashion, modding, etc., they usually die down quickly.
I’ve encountered this problem in a different game’s Subreddit. They seemed hyper-fixated on the negative so prior to the blackout when somebody mad a small alternative sub I subbed & blocked the original. Seriously, I’m playing a game for enjoyment and participating in the game’s community to enjoy with others or to share knowledge about the game… unending font of negativity centered around every little aspect is really contradictory to that.
I only wish they made the threads at least a read-only permission
As a returning player Reddit threads/comments are the ones that helped me most cause most YT vid sucks due to intros and long vids that could be answered shortly. I was sad when I saved some threads that I was reading before the blackout and I cant read the guides and search for answers again so pretty much stopped doing things towards my goals for now
You can try asking here. There’s surely some experienced users, among which I’d like to count as well, who will be happy to help.
You can ask here, also you can try to put those threads in web archive/wayback machine to see if they’re snapshotted (you’ll be able to read them that way)
Use the wiki, it’s far superior to anything on the reddit sub. That and overframe or one of the other similar build guide sites are basically everything you need.
I dislike reddit and will not ever be found there.
I don’t like Reddit, so here I am instead.
I think its pointless. Warframe is not a big enough community to have any impact and frankly none are. IMO this is doing more harm to the community then good. Redits decision will likely not change.
This is accurate. Whatever your feelings about reddit are, the warframe sub is a major artery for DE as far as advertising, community interaction, feedback, and even bug reporting are concerned. Can these things still be found on other sites like the forum and discord? Of course. Will the thousands and thousands of people who still use reddit as their easy-peasy news website shift over to those places just to get warframe news? Not all of them. Keeping the sub closed just hurts DE, no matter how you look at it.
Don’t think ill be using reddit much after this shitshow.
If the subreddit does come back up however, we should see about cross posting things from the subreddit to here (with the og posters permission), same for memeframe. It raises awareness for the federated community and helps it feel less like we arent missing out on current events while it finds its footing.
I support the blackout, but im also kinda annoyed because tons of Warframe information are in reddit posts.
This website is nothing when you look at the massive amount of data and information that is being held at ransom and only affects the community because of this protest.
A lot of the information on reddit was never easy to look up, even trying to find a post through key words was usually pointless. There were also posts that were out of date or had terrible advice for builds like throwing Internal Bleeding on anything that has Impact damage, even if the weapon isn’t suited for it because of low status chance/high fire rate, or good Crit chance meaning Hunter Munitions was the better choice.
Being on a different platform doesn’t fix outdated/bad information but it does let you start fresh without references to outdated guides. The wiki also aggregates information a lot more efficiently than scattered forum posts and can be updated.
The data can be transferred and recreated. Plus, Warframe heavily relies on its wiki, which is unaffected afaik.
Wiki still exists plus if you search for a thread via Google, you can always copy the thread link and try using Wayback Machine. (I’ve used that on a very small thread today and it worked)
Or. And hear me out. They stop this stupid blackout and I don’t need a “way back machine” and can just click. DE used the reddit and this website only stands to destroy the community. People aren’t coming here.
Why do you think the blackout is stupid? Do you think that much of the Warframe userbase actually uses subreddit regularly?
Personally I’m fine with using lemmy, I think it’s a tad confusing due to the de-centralized nature compared to reddit a centralized service. However, I fucking hate spez and his asshole nature he has been showing way more lately.
While I think it’s true it does hurt the community, I think it’s best if most places even smaller ones completely move off of reddit as it’s really the only way to get reddit to change it’s mind. If people stop using reddit, they actually lose ad revenue that is not short term. Which means they have to start making compromises. No matter what both situations suck.
First gaming sub of a game I play that I saw here. I just have to say I was so happy and excited you guys came.
Personally, I’m not going back. At least not as a participant. Reddit still has a ton of valuable information and and I won’t pretend otherwise, but I can’t support it anymore with the recent news.
With that said, it would be great if you guys stayed and (hopefully) the others still on reddit find their way here.
If I can get all the new info like updates, important tweets, patch announcements here then I have no reason to go back to r/warframe, I don’t care about 99% of other content there and would prefer a smaller community like this tbh, especially if it stays more positive.
With a bit of luck and cajoling, maybe we can get DE to cross post their tweets here.
I think we’d have to grow a lot before that starts happening (unless DE decides to take a moral stance against reddit themselves, which I doubt), but who knows what happens down the line. I’d like that for sure, I much prefer hanging out here than consolidating everything on reddit and under their admin’s whims.
I do despair of DE’s ability to take moral stances any more, and definitely for their ability to train sensitivity into there support desk proles. They devs are clearly thoughtful and caring, but they’re now constrained by the need to keep TenCent happy, and that means awful things slowly creeping.
Ehh, Tencent or not they are a huge corporation and have better things to worry about than pissing off their playerbase by picking sides in a reddit civil war. And lets be honest, at the end of the day reddit is still more stable and has more users than these experimental fediverse instances. But we’ll get there one day, it’s not a sprint race, and who knows what the landscape ends up looking like in a year or so.
And not full of bots like Reddit as a whole.
I enjoy the more chill and less negative experience so far tbh. I just hope the Mlem app gets up to par with features cuz mobile experience so far is so-so for me (on iOS). I plan to stay either way for now :)
If I continue using Reddit it will be in a heavily Adblocked way (basically depends on whether communities I care about the most will come back and in what form). And through wayback machine if I need to access something locked up. I will browse some stuff on Apollo till it shuts down but I think detaching from Reddit will do me better in the long run.
“if it sucks, hit the bricks” is a way of life i’m all for. Reddit was useful but it’s only going to get worse.
