Someone please tell the /r/firefox moderator to include a link to /c/firefox in the sub close banner (lemmy.ml)

How is /r/firefox still private?

/r/running had a poll and most people went for indefinitely blackout. A few days later it went public again. I tried to ask what was going on with the plan but the post was immediately removed.

It appears that Reddit drove out the mods and put in new mods. But I am glad to see the majority had gone and not much new posts about running.

Now I wonder how/r/firefox can still be private.

I don't know but I'm proud of them for sticking up for what's right against the robber-barrons trying to enclose the commons of our collective communication platform.

I noticed r/CreditCards is still private as well

/r/plex too.

If you actually click chat with us on /r/firefox they wrote

Don't see it until you click so I don't think lot of people knew about fedia.io/m/firefox

I’d say they probably didn’t notice because Reddit has been forcing even niche subs to reopen.

That bay get that mod to get banned from Reddit.

So does keeping the subreddit closed. The best protest is leaving. The best way to accomplish this is the show the audience where the escape door is

Also, they could just make a sock puppet account the moderator and let the sockpuppet change the closure banner. It's not me /u/spez ! It's the sockpuppet !

Also, all moderators deleting all posts (we have backups no worries), then filling the subreddit back up with millions of penis pill spam, banning all users who ever participated, and then unmodding all moderators and finally all moderators deleted all their posts and comments and their account.

Now that is a proper protest !

Wow talk about a scorched earth policy!

Closing the sub probably will too

Firefox actually has a link that goes to their sister kbin community, but you don't see it until you click chat with us. So I don't think lot of people knew /r/firefox has gotten set up on the fediverse.
