A lot of subs seem to be staying dark (https://lemmy.nz/post/43541), but seems like r/nz will be back at 4pm.

I don't think I'll be going back, although not deleting my account just yet.

Anyone planning on heading back there full time? (no judgement!)

I think that's a good attitude. If someone else is really keen to mod it and keep it going let them have at it but you can create a community over here for those looking to make the move

It was a tiny [1278 member] niche investment sub. It has 2 years of tech questions and answers.

This morning I posted this and walked away.

"I'm out, I've meet greasy little fucks like spez in real life and you couldn't pay me to associate much less have me waste my time for free. Experimenting with https://lemmy.nz/

I'm not comfortable with the 'take my ball and go home' form of boycott . Seems selfish.

So I'll put the sub on 'restricted' after this post which will mean no new posts but you can use the search function within the sub to probably get answers on issues as a lots been covered over the couple of years.

That's my first layer of compromise.

The second is if someone want's to mod and bring it back fully then send me a message and you can take a seat on this rancid exploitative corporate vehicle.

I'm out."
