So how long until they kick legacy mods from r/startrek and reopen?

MODERATORS
The impression I got was that some mods have left and/because the remaining mods have decided to reopen. Honestly the thread was a bit depressing, lots of "it's their platform, they can do what they like" and "who cares, it doesn't affect me". :/
You can safely scratch the "because" - those of us who left were leaving either way. There's no drama there.
Oh that's good to hear! It did make me sad thinking that it had created conflict.
Everyone involved is acting in the way they feel is best, both for the community and for themselves on a personal level.
I don't like speaking for others, but those who stayed behind are still supportive of this new endeavour, and in fact are still involved.
Hooray, that is a very Star Trek resolution to the story. :)
"The interactions of the future are somewhat different"
"No account karma? You mean, you don't get your internet points?"
"The acquisition of Karma is no longer the driving force in our lives. We work to better ourselves, and the rest of the community."
Lmao I love it
Lol perfect. :)
Ironically, it actually doesn't affect me either, since 9 times out of ten, I use/used Reddit on desktop, my phone being, well a goddamn phone and an Ersatz-Kindle.
I do normally use RiF on my phone -- but yeah, mostly I am using my PC. For me it is mostly the principle also. Especially the way it seems likely to affect blind and visually impaired users, but also even just the overreach and disregard of the userbase who creates any value the site has. :/
Honestly, for me it's not so much what they did, but rather how they went about it. To clarify, them wanting people to use the official app is fair enough, but instead of market economy, i.e. providing the superior product, they went gilded age capitalism and try to hulk smash the competition, and that's just not on for me.
I agree, although also I think their official app is unpleasant to use on purpose, because it's designed to put ads in front of users, not to actually allow users to see content.
Having used the app exactly once several years ago, I can't speak to that, but I can see that...
