It's so nice to see some subreddits sticking to their guns and ideals and push through until real change happens! r/Nintendo is still down too, which was a nice surprise when I was looking around to see the state of my subs on Reddit.

Oh wow, /r/nintendo stayed down through a Nintendo Direct that announced a new Mario game? That's a lot more chutzpah than I'd expect from a subreddit focused on a game console.

r/Games didn't even have the balls to shutdown because "summer game fest is more important than a protest"

[–] curiosityLynx@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

That's indeed impressive.

They are more based than /r/pcgaming, /r/pcmasterrace, /r/linux, and /r/buildapc. Got my respect. To see them still holding strong is not at all what I would have expected. PC community pretty much completely dropped the ball.

He got no @ here to thank directly?

Hot damn they mean business. NICE!

[–] NightOwl@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn that's amazing. Lot of the subs I expected would be locked down like /r/pcgaming, /r/pcmasterrace, and /r/buildapc are the ones who ended up not caring despite thinking it'd align with the values of openness when it comes to hardware and software. I suppose it isn't a surprise given that they were probably the ones buying scalper prices for GPUs and then scalper prices from nvidia themselves. Even /r/patientgamers who are supposed to be patient... were not patient enough to rush to go back to normal like they were snatching up preorders.

But, it's /r/Nintendo that ended up stepping up to the plate. Respect.

In fairness r/pcmasterrace and r/gaming absolutely hate Linux as well so I wasn't really expecting them to give up on Reddit and move to the Lemmy/Kbin
