you guys are out here deleting people who are against this stupid protest? Don’t worry I’m gone. Like most of the community you’re letting down with this. DE relied on the massive community for posts and engagement. Disappointed to say the least.

Most of the community? Hardly. How many members were in the reddit? How many are here? Edit. Just looked. Less than one thousand people. Can you do me a favor and remind me how many were on the reddit?
Why would I, it’s not my argument to make. If you have problem with the protest open your own subreddit as you’ve already been told to, you are not entitled to free moderation services.
It’s less about having a space on Reddit to discuss Warframe and more about the several years worth of information and content that already exists and is now inaccessible. Also, the community is no less entitled to “free moderation services” than third party app developers are entitled to Reddit API access… Those “free moderation services” wouldn’t even be necessary if the sub was made read-only. I like RiF and narwhal as much as the next guy, but having to switch to the slightly worse official app is way less frustrating then suddenly losing access to a bunch of information. The mods will risk losing the support of the community if they inconvenience the community more than the admins do
I think everyone is aware that brand new tech like this can’t compete directly with reddit, a megacorporation with literally thousands of employees and a 10 year headstart, in terms of convenience or stability. There is also the sunk cost of having been on reddit a while and having it already configured, setup and filled with data.
Personally for me, that is hardly excuse to not try something new and maybe improve the situation a bit in the long term. After all following that logic we’ll be using reddit 50 years into the future as well and nothing will ever change, which just sounds horrifying to me. I also know most people don’t care about this beyond the basic convenience so yeah, the moderators will have to find a balance how much they can push it but it’s only been a week, larger and more important reddit subs are still locked too, and some by public vote too.
tl;dr Of course it is less convenient, but there are other good reasons to be less dependent on reddit.
Actually, if you add “cache:” to the post you are trying to access, you will get a cached version of the post, allowing you to see its contents. This would’ve taken a 2 second google search to figure out but thats probably too much effort for you isn’t it?
This doesn’t work in all situations as demonstrated by the 404 error I receive while trying to access this page. Someone else was able to help me find this post using the Wayback machine yesterday, but I question the reliability of both of these methods considering the wayback machine only had one capture of this page from 2022
