Reddit threatens the mods of r/CyberpunkGame (the main subreddit for Cyberpunk 2077). Mods decide to go down in a blaze of glory, whole sub agrees.

Surprising nobody, Reddit Corp threatening a gaming sub of a fanatically anti-corporate video game doesn't go as they'd hoped.
The mod team have basically decided that "Fuck Reddit" is the way forward, and appear to have practically total support of their entire sub for the choice taken.
Presumably, we're about to get a Cyberpunk community on Fediverse soon. :p
That’s just obvious pretense though. They can’t simply say "we want you to shut the fuck up with those protests and return to business as usual", so they say "the improper use of the NSFW flair is confusing for the users, stop misapplying it for them, totally not because we are annoyed with your protest"
I wonder if /r/lowSodiumCyberpunk will make the move as well. Or maybe the great schism will finally end and they'll merge users again.
Think that'll depend on the DLC launch.
It was created after the launch as a place for people who actually could play the game and enjoy it - as the r/cyberpunkGame was a shitshow at that time. I got downvoted there for just saying that the game works reasonably fine on my PC and I'm having a blast.
Likewise
This one can't possibly end well for reddit. If they remove the mods...
A) They leave the sub open until they find new ones, and the userbase goes even more crazy with NSFW content until then.
B) They close the sub until they find new ones, encouraging most of the userbase to leave, and likely not come back when it reopens.
C) They accept the flood of troll requests to takeover the sub, and the userbase goes even more crazy with NSFW content, but also with mod support.
Not exactly a win for the userbase, but much bigger not-win for reddit, and it's gonna be fun to watch.
Are you kidding? Cyberpunks get to fuck over a corp, this is absolutely a win for the user base!
They're fine with posts being marked nsfw, because they can still post ads.
If the entire sub is nsfw, they can't post ads in that sub.
That's what this has always been about.
Someone has mentioned it now, and also a link to a cp77 lemmy community.
The OP mentions that the sub is their community and as such they are basically going down with it. They have no interest in modding for another community but will gladly participate in it.
I have been sceptical after the disastrous launch but recently grabbed it myself during a sale, and I can really recommend it now. It still isn’t 100% perfect, but it is an enjoyable experience and great storyline, not to mention the amazing setting and visuals. It isn’t all that was promised before launch, but a complete and largely bug free experience.
Yeah it didn't live up to the unrealistic hype (like every NPC on screen would have a routine and schedule for their day, etc) and the bugs were pretty obvious, but I still had a blast playing it at launch.
I'll probably wait a couple of years and then play it through again with the dlc so it feels a bit more fresh.
When the dlc releases everyone gets a free large update that reworks a lot of stuff.
It'll be closer to what was promised in a few months
It's a totally SFW game, too, so I honestly don't understand the point the mods are trying to make here though. The first time my V (sorry if the spoiler tag doesn't work properly I'm confused about where I actually type my spoiler)

___hired a prostitute and had graphic sex with them
I thought, "ah yes, what a wholesome family oriented game. I think I'll invite my grandma over to play with me."
I would actually classify it as NSFW because of the gratuitous violence (chopping limbs off), rather than the boobs, but that’s just me 🤷♂️
Yeahhhh that too, but you have to appeal to an American sensibility since it's a (largely) American website:/
Don't forget how

The first mission in the city is fighting a bunch of organ harvesters and saving a naked lady. And then later on, a guy selling snuff porn VR can trick you into being captured by those same harvesters. So you escape and get your stuff, but not before your boobs and/or junk flops all over the place.
Honestly it's probably easier to list the stuff that isn't NSFW from some perspective than otherwise.
They are really going to try to bully players of the game cyberpunk? The game which themes revolves around going out in a blaze of glory and fuck corpos. If nothing else marked the end of reddit this sure as hell does.
Don't forget the part where the main plot of the game is corpos fucking you over too!
Fitting for the game too. Based.
In the same vein, I really like that answer to the same ultimatum :) https://www.reddit.com/...
I can't see that unless I download their app. Can you summarize? I used to roll with dnd memes.
Lol baller
Admin threatens mod with removal, Mod asks admin to make an intimidation check.
Maybe we will get more traffic on lemmy if it goes down.
Yes. As long as the kbin instance you want to interact with isn't de-federated from the Lemmy instance where your account exists then you should have no problem and be able to interact with kbin content on that instance seamlessly the same way you would interact with Lemmy content.
Thanks!
A couple of questions if its not too much bother. Looking at OP link:
https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/144077
- How to know if the instance is defederated?
Also when clicking, I land in kbin (duh), which of course does not know my login credentials, therefore I am not able to comment. So:
- How to access the post from Lemmy?
The direct links to the kbin instance aren't really handled properly across federation yet but kbin.social is not de-federated from Lemmy.world
I'm not sure if you're accessing Lemmy from a web browser or an app but if you search for "redditmigration", for example, (from your home Lemmy instance) you should see the corresponding kbin.social "magazine" (essentially equivalent to a Lemmy "community") and be able to click into it and interact with the topic you linked...
I believe this would be the one for that specific topic for users registered on Lemmy.world
The way federation works is that the content (to include comments and votes) is regularly copied back and forth between federated instances so there's no need to have an account on whichever instance the content you want to interact with was originally created on.
The catch is that this copying back and forth doesn't happen automatically. It requires that at least one user seek out that "community" or "magazine" from their "home instance" and subscribe to it. Afterwards all of the posts, comments, and votes from that community or magazine on whatever federated instances will begin being synchronized between the two whenever changes occur.
So, you're essentially interacting with the copy on your home instance directly which is then synced to the instance where the content originated and the users on that instance can interact back with you in the same way from their home instance.
Hopefully that makes sense or someone else comes along to ELI5 it better.
On PC it got to an okay state pretty quickly. The others, not so much.
I recently bought it on sale. GTX 1060 6gb renders 50-60 fps (lowest settings) with some drops in crowded areas. It has never crashed, and never had any major bug. Game is stored on ssd, but I doubt it would run this smoothly on hdd Overally 100% playable on PC
Yeah it's the reverse of what usually happens. Instead of a shitty PC port, they had a shitty console port
