            I haven’t been terribly active on r/games. I’d there something wrong with Harry Potter games?

              Just the usual business of the author being a tosser and people not wanting to support her.

        I’m sure it was hard to step away from being so involved with such an incredibly huge community. Good on you though.

          Thanks, sadly it was a lot easier than you may think. Unless they make major changes there I can’t see them lasting.

            Same story here. Just waiting on my GDPR right to erasure request to be executed before I kill the account entirely.

              Can you recommend an appropriate community to post questions to about this? I have all the CSV files from Reddit, just not sure how to proceed/request deletion of my posts from Reddit.

              I was wondering about this, I never posted a lot, mostly lurked and anything I did comment was mostly a stupid joke or question. Is this worth me going through? Fuck spez

        Welcome on board - your extensive experience should be a godsend for the relevant communities in here, if you were interested in getting back in the saddle.

          Thank you! If you know of any communities in Tech/STEM (I’m a phd biochemist btw) that need some help just point me in their direction.

            It’s outside my bailiwick but there doesn’t seem a lot that’s relevant apart from:

            At this early stage, it’s often a matter of seeing an unfilled niche and starting a community for it. And that’s why I seem to start one a day. Generally on the “if you build it, they will come” principle.

          If that is who I think you’re referring to, we didn’t overlap. The founders were gone and made persona non grata (the group gets their feelings hurt when people leave) a VERY long time ago so I’m effectively a stranger to them that’s associated with a group that was hostile to them even if I believe there was complete turnover. Have a look at the mod list now, the longest tenured member is probably at the 4 year mark with the bulk of the team at a year or less. It’s a toxic meat grinder.

            I see, that makes some sense. A shame really, I was there when they started the place and there when they became an admin. They truly knew what they were doing in terms of creating a space for real and constructive discussion. Explains why you’re here and not over on Tildes though if there’s literally no more connection between you.
