What happened to poe Reddit?
" It will never happen because GGG abandoned ship and vowed never to post there again after the raw unmitigated hate they received from the extremely bad balance changes they made a couple of leagues ago. I'm not implying that I didn't also hate the direction the game was going at the time, but very few human beings in this world deserve the level of vitriol that they experienced over it. It's important for communities to have a platform to voice concern over bad changes, but push too far and the people listening to you will just give up. I'd honestly be all for dumping the subreddit altogether and concentrating the community back in the forums like the old days, but that's probably never going to happen. Someone else would start a new "unofficial" subreddit and people would just gravitate towards that instead. Love it or hate it, Reddit is simply the defacto location for tech-based communities these days. And yes I know that some of these communities manage to exist outside of Reddit but I feel mostly confident in saying that they are in the minority at the moment. Souls along a conduit of blood, from one vessel to the next. Last edited by Zionyaru#5125 on Jun 14, 2023, 7:43:41 AM

" Because they get banned from the offical one for not knowing how to be civil. |

" this is straight up GGG's fault in the first place, for a long time Chris and gang would ONLY post updates on Reddit and not here at all. I can't believe how many times I was looking up somme info on the wiki/website and it ended up being a link to Chris posting on reddit. S L O W E R

" I think I'm more irritated by them putting things on Twitter only. I tend to agree that all announcements made should at least be duplicated on the announcement page. |

Chris gave up subreddit control ages ago, it seems like a lot of people in this thread have no idea that GGG has no actual control over the PoE subreddit anymore, it hasn't been an extension of the PoE forums in almost ten years now.

" Exactly! it would be disingenuous or ignorant to assume that they let all this vitriol go unchecked and censor any post against bots, rmt, and the mirror mafia. You can't have both. As you said "Love it or hate it, Reddit is simply the de-facto location for tech-based communities these days". Therefore, the only logical conclusion is that poe sub moderators are all replaced by GGG employees. The only reason they will never do this is because there is too much ego, malice, and greed involved. Not a complicated subject at all. They care about the game? hand over the poe subreddit to GGG (owner and creator of the game). |

Meh? we'll massively migrate to Hive or some other stuff if they pull a fast one near league launch. But they won't, so we won't.
Let them have their little protest. Second-class poe gamer

" 'I don't use the default layout, I download extra software to mod the layout, then further modify that layout!' is not a sterling endorsement of either layout. Also that follow up statement from the person who had to post a paragraph to ask why your posts here keep getting deleted by moderators for being "Needlessly Negative" in your words is also not a great position to start from that (in a way that was, at least in my opinion, clearly needlessly negative). But, if you prefer Reddit, go for it, I sure as heck won't stop you. Last edited by Northern_Ronin#6465 on Jun 14, 2023, 12:33:42 PM
