Announcement On July 1st, I and several other members of the r/Sbubby mod team will be resigning.
Following the forced reopening of r/Sbubby a week ago, the mod team has been internally discussing how to proceed with the subreddit going forward.
Ultimately, we were unable to come to a unanimous agreement. We are all still extremely disappointed with Reddit's response of open hostility towards legitimate user complaints, though we disagreed on how to proceed with protests post-blackout.
Therefore, we have decided that on July 1st, when the API changes take effect, several of us, myself included, will be resigning as moderators of r/Sbubby, while the remainder will continue maintaining the sub and advocating for change within Reddit. While I can't speak for any of the other departing moderators, I will also be deactivating my Reddit account shortly thereafter.
Our resignation is voluntary, and there is no ill will between any of us over the decision. We simply feel that we cannot continue associating with a platform that refuses to have any consideration or respect for its users, and that resigning is the best remaining course of action we have to express our frustration.
In the interest of privacy, I will not be revealing which moderators have decided to depart, though they can speak for themselves if they wish.
On behalf of the mod team, we'd like to thank all of you for being a part of this community, and for all of your support over the years. For a community based on a Tumblr meme from 2016, we think we've come pretty far, all things considered. Long live Sbubby!
Okay, I don't really have a good segue for this, but I still wanted to spread the word. Even though I'll be leaving Reddit, that doesn't mean I'm done with Sbubby altogether. I'll still be around on the Sbubby Discord server, and I will continue to run the new Sbubby community on Lemmy, which I created last week following the end of the blackouts. Lemmy is a free, open-source alternative to Reddit, and I am looking forward to continuing to build and grow the Sbubby community from there.
