Just saw this, and didnt see it here.
The minecraft devs have decided that Reddit is no longer a suitable place for their official discussions.

damn, that’s kinda awesome. Do they mention moving to a different platform, or will they be sticking with their support site and discord only?
They will stick to their already existing proprietary feedback channels.
And I doubt the subreddit will disappear, it’s just that it will no longer be “official”. I don’t see them stating anywhere that they will set it to private or something… and even if they did, the reddit admins can simply mark the channel as abandoned and allow for new mods to take it over.
To be honest, I feel this is simply the most convenient strategic move for Mojang. As a company I would have done the same, they no longer have to bring employees to support a third party platform and at the same time they get to promote their own. And instead of getting backlash, they’ll look like the good guys for doing so.
