It was just a simple place where people could post their own open source projects.. but apparently Reddit hates Open Source

    It's crazy that they can just do that, and nobody cares.

    That's why we are all here, once reddit wanted to monetize the data and increase profit it all turned to shit. Its not a freely open forum anylonger

    Yeah it makes sense now. I think the reason for the ban is that they want people to circle jerk on their own platform. So they don't want links to outside domains, which is what my subreddit did.

    it's crazy that after the mod purge you're just now realizing they can do that.

    everyone who would care was purged years ago.

    fair point.. but unfortunately many communities i follow are only on reddit.. the alternatives are just not big enough also.. i think this monopoly can only be broken with government funding.. i can't think of any other solution

    Did they even give a reason?

    Dunno over on Reddit - wasn't all too interested in open source when I used it. But people here seem overall friendly towards open source. So if I might suggest, also since Reddit doesn't explain what the violation was so presumption of innocence for you kicks in, maybe remake the subreddit as a community here? Also decentralized governance should help mitigate powertripping management as Reddit is showing in recent years. At worst, you'd have to make the community again on another instance, but I haven't seen the lemmy.world administration pick a bone with communities in the years I have been around, so should be safe, me thinks.

    Yeah, Reddit belongs to an asshole, and thus his private property so he and his bots can kick anyone anytime, without even citing or explaining offenses.

    That said, fuck you SPEZ.

    Reddit sucks more than I can put into words. They've been nuking perfectly fine subreddits since about 2015.
