I’d already made a comment in a similar thread on [email protected] so I’ll just echo it back here
The comment section over there has been disappointing so far imo when most feedback that wasn’t demanding the sub to be reopened would be quickly downvoted to oblivion.
Personally I’d encourage other fellow hobbyists to look for alternatives instead of relying on one single platform, but a lot of them think the protest is dumb and just mere inconvenience to their daily internet consumption.
It took more than a decade for Ffxiv related subreddits to grow and expand into such a size. Most Ffxiv communites on Fediverse are only a few days old so there is not much to lurk in these uncharted territories still, that means many of us would have to take the steps of faith and forge ahead!
Most people just want to read stuff about the game they are playing. They don’t care about things like mod-tools, APIs, privacy, third-party apps, etc.
So, any “protest” movement based around those sorts of issues are not going to gain steam. Even if they are issues that technically affect the users, they aren’t going to care if the issue isn’t a problem that’s in their face consistently.
