  • I jumped during the API fiasco, but in my case the story is a bit different I think.

    One subreddit I used to spend a lot of time on was r/dndmemes. I was a relatively new DM at the time and loved hearing everyone’s stories and takes on things there. I even made a number of memes on the shenanigans that happened in my own campaign. Some of them took off way more than I could have ever imagined.

    When the API fiasco started, that subreddit was one of the ones that participated in the blackout. When Reddit started sending threats to the mods to open it up, they asked what the community wanted. That’s when it went into what they called ‘goblin mode’. Basically everything had to be an NSFW meme since Reddit couldn’t advertise as much on those subreddits.

    Reddit ended up removing just about all the mods and left the subreddit in a broken state. Practically nobody could post there. When they spun up attempt.network, I made the jump and haven’t looked back since
