With my recent de-modding and ban from the DnDMemes sub, I now have plenty of time to touch grass and help grow this community/instance. AMA I guess?

For the record, I fully support what the remaining mod team is doing, they are a wonderful group and I trust them completely. I don't regret the choices I made, only that my actions got a few other mods shit canned in the process.
Honestly, fuck spez and the rest of the admin team.
You are a legend for what you did. They nat 1'd and instead of abiding by the roll, they flipped the table.

This is my first post on here thanks to the shit Admins pulled on you. How best do you recommend continuing the protest? Simply stop using reddit altogether, or is there a malicious compliance you recommend? My usage has gone down significantly since the API changes but I haven't been able to kick it altogether.

Unfortunately, that's probably the only route, IMO
My usage has gone down significantly since the API changes but I haven’t been able to kick it altogether.
While it's not exactly a perfect replacement for reddit yet, lemmy can help with that, i've found. If you click to the "all" feed you can basically get a slows/less populated version of reddit r/all. Really all it lacks at the moment is user participation, which has been climbing a lot over just the past few weeks.
Stopping using Reddit is probably the only effective form of protest. If you don't want to do that, reducing your usage at all will help. However, the best thing you can probably do is help the Fediverse grow. Your part of that means active participation, be it posts or comments. So that's what I would encourage you to do: Post things!
Legend. Just registered here too after the coward decision from Reddit Admins. Other than cats and NCD I'm barely active now.

Assuming that's the NCD you're talking about that seems to be its largest fediverse community.
Just a little tip: If you use a browser (PC or mobile), you can simply write !noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works and it will automatically convert the link so that people directly can subscribe regardless on which server they are.
Hello! Here’s Question.
… how did you do it? How did you transcend fear,pain death and become immortal?
Asking for a friend.
But more seriously thank you so much for what you did. You set an example.
And it wasn’t just about goblin tits ( and throbbing bugbear wang).
It was about resisting illegitimate execution of authority and the sub became a really cool sex positive space. ( possibly not the mods intent, but it happened.)
Anyway, I do have one final question.
For people who support you and the original mods and also the remaining mods…
What do you suggest we do?
Abandon that sub completely and just come here and try to make it really active or… what?
🙏❤️
Seriously, the ruling that dismissed them was some egregious bullshit. I'm off reddit completely after that show of dickery.
Thanks for all the work you put in, the frankly great content we got out of the NSFW protest, and for sticking to your guns. Took me a minute to figure out how to work this site, but I'm happy now that I'm here, and look forward to sticking around and seeing what nonsense we get up to here.
Just came here to say "fuck spez" and "thanks for the good times dalimey"
mostly been lurking that sub for 3 years or so, it was fun while it lasted, but shit spez fucked it all up, nice to know theres a new home for me to lurk, anyway ima stealth back to the shadows. nice seeing you back dalimey
Serious question: Which DND races did you enjoy seeing fuck/be fucked and will you be encouraging that DISGUSTING (👀) behaviour here?
Because I'll be honest... I kinda enjoyed the smut.
No the great one, but I’m going to be completely honest with you. In the course of making memes where I discovered H games like cloud Meadows when I was searching for art.
I might be attracted to Giants. But not gross looking ones you know I’m talking like hot 10 feet tall guys.
Other than that bugbears, but I think that’s also a size difference fetish.
… have I just wanted to date basketball players all this time?
🧐
Made me enjoy shortstacks a lot. Both males and females. There's always been a weird spark within me for something being able to be both cute and sexy at the same time.
I have a spicy question for you!
...did you have a favourite NSFW meme I made?
oh shit, nice username
Hi~! I'm (still) kind of a slut!
You made it over here! Yay! Is there anywhere we can see those now that they were deleted from r/dndmemes? Some were pretty excellent. Don’t think this community would allow those but I’m sure there is a community somewhere that would appreciate them.
Oh hey! It's you! Good to see you here!
Not Dalimey, but personally any of the Malberry ones. :P Gwen's Necklace of Compliance, probably?
I liked that one a lot too!
Genuine question dude, how did you grow such gigantic balls of absolute steel? Was it something special in your diet? Mad respect o7
What was it like to be a mod for a community that has more than a million users?
Yes! Finally! A replacement for my beloved rule argument place.
Thank you for your service. Fuck the admins.
Would you be interested in starting a shortstack-and-snitty friendly community, either on this instance or elsewhere on Lemmy? I know it started as a protest, but a genuine (albeit horny) community sprung up really quickly. A lot of users, myself included, legitimately enjoyed what it was shaping into these past couple of days, where normal memes were getting posted alongside horny ones. It made the sub a really enjoyable sex-positive space that wasn't solely dedicated to sex, and there are not many of those.
There's a lot of NSFW communities popping up over at https://lemmynsfw.com/
None seem to be for RPG memes, though. Beyond that, a community dedicated to just porn memes wouldn't be as enjoyable.
Are you in contact with the other two mods who got kicked? u/4cheese u/EquivalentInflation? How did the admins decide who got the hammer?
It's kind of pathetic they don't even pretend to care about their own rules anymore.
I just hope we can turn this place into a better alternative!
Ama related; What's the thing your players did that caused the biggest "Oh. NO. They did that?!" reaction you've had
How does it feel to be a god? We all know you cannot kill a god, theirs was a grand and intoxicating innocence.
Thank you for being consequent!
Cheers for moving over! I'll almost miss the 50/50 nature of that sub being NSFW
They really should lock that sub down, migrate to a full NSFW sub, and leave all new posts pending mod approval with a message from automod directing them to here or the new sub.
At some point Reddit will just ban all the mods and install their own
Last I checked, there has not been a post in over 6 hours.
Yeah, they have it set to manual approval atm
I just joined this website and I am very glad to join along for the ride. I hope more subreddits follow this kind of alternative and delete their subs so Reddit can be left in the dust from barely having anything left to see. Would be a justified end for their greed.
What was your initial reaction when they suddenly created a rule to fire you and blacklist you from being mod again out of nowhere? Must have been quite the surprise, albeit not unexpected.
Fuck Spez , I have bailed out of Reddit , it is beyond saving because structurally it is built on a flawed concept of assuming benevolent admins who work for the good of the community , and that is no longer the case , they are too far gone to be able to salvage value from that place and we are better off rebuilding better here.
I'm truly hoping almost every subreddits come to using an alternative like this and shut down their original subreddits. Less things to see on reddit means less traffic, less things to see, less ad revenue, less odds for the website to survive. The proper way to have a good ol' fashioned mutiny.
do you have a particular fave meme from the NSFW storm you were able to save before the purge? if so, could you show us? all for research purposes of course...
Yes, for research. Please...
It sucks but it wasn't exactly unexpected. I salute you for sticking to your guns and protesting corporate bullshit in the most effective way you could.
Since Reddit is clearly saying that protesting within the system is not permitted, I'm going the only route left which is complete boycott. Unless I hear about them very publicly walking back policies and issuing a convincingly self deprecating apology (and I'm not holding my breath) I will not be using Reddit at all. They get no traffic from me, no demographic information, nothing that they can monetize, just nothing. I only really used it for the memes anyway so fuck 'em.
Also while I totally supported the entire NSFW protest angle I did very quickly grow tired of endless pictures of Kobold pussy and dragon dicks. "Sex positive" is one of those legitimate terms that is most often used by people who want to justify immature behavior. I supported that behavior as a form of protest but very quickly tire of such content when it's flooding a feed. Because I'm not twelve and every single one of those lewd/smut memes I saw was just the sort of juvenile "lookit da nekkids and s3xx0rz" garbage that amused me in middle school with people tacking on comically flimsy excuses to pretend it was serious intellectual content. The protest didn't work and I seriously won't mind if I don't see another goblin boob for some time.
