MODERATORS
 

The r/Warframe subreddit will be reopening in a restricted form on June 21st, when the 7 Crimes of Kullervo update releases.

While dormi.zone was initially created as an alternative platform for r/Warframe on Reddit during its blackout, since then we have gained subscribers from all across the fediverse who have been yearning for a place to discuss Digital Extremes' flagship game. Thank you for joining and helping this community grow!

We recognize that there needs to be a space to discuss the fate of r/Warframe, but we're also noticing a rising amount of duplicate posts about this topic, aggravating users who are here to discuss Warframe the videogame and may have even found their way here through means other than our blackout.

To keep these posts from overwhelming the frontpage of this community without denying them the visibility they should have, we will be funneling all discussion about the r/Warframe subreddit in this pinned megathread.

Once r/Warframe reopens, meta discussion about r/Warframe will return to Reddit.

it makes me sad to see all the angry people here condemning the closure of the sub

if companies had their way we'd all be zombies dancing to their songs

this is just a small inconvenience to remind everyone how reddit can go to shit in the near future

[–] MarauderIIC@dormi.zone 1 points 2 years ago

I see lots of posts here saying the blackout is bad. I just wanted to say that I like the blackout. Thanks.

It sucks that the corporation won once again, but I am happy that WF is one of the reddits I frequent that actually did it properly. You didn't fail us, mods, we failed you. I personally tried to stay off reddit completely, at least on the first two days and did limit my use of it in the next days after, but as the drug uses are coming back in droves, staying off it will not change much. Let's hope when RIP and Apollo close we get another wave of this.

I don't know about others, but I'm definitely not coming back - didn't visit reddit after the blackout at all and somehow I'm still alive - turns out I can live without it!

I'm honestly a bit disappointed in the decision to reopen, not really surprised, mind you, but disappointed. Still, if moderators want to keep volunteering and providing free labor for a site that treats them like dirt and users prefer to watch tons of ads there that's their prerogative and I genuinely and unironically hope it makes them happy. I'm much happier here, and that's why here is where I'll stay.

I'd like to not go back. Do you by any chance know a place that aggregates news headlines?

[–] doctortofu@reddthat.com 1 points 2 years ago

For Warframe or in general? If it's the former, I just use the official website, if the latter, recently I'm a fan of https://www.newsminimalist.com/

An unfortunate decision, but ultimately a rather understandable one. I have some mild complaints about Lemmy, primarily those related to how....incredibly alpha it feels on all the iOS browsers I've tried. Even despite that, given the whole reason for the blackout to begin with, I would've been more than happy to stay on here long term. "Well why don't you do just that, even if the sub reopens?" probably because the already incredibly small community (even including non-posting lurkers) here will all just pack up and leave back to reddit making this a total ghost town. Unfortunate, but thems the facts. Though perhaps I'm just trying to rationalize being a hypocrite. Dormi.Zone's a super cute name, too.

Wonder who'll be the first to post primed Wisp Ass and get all those sick reddit updoots.

[–] Kaldo@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I've said this elsewhere but I like the smaller and overall more positive community here, I don't even miss r/warframe and have no plans to go back unless this one dies completely. We dont need millions of active users to have a nice space here, and it's only a matter of time before reddit shits the bed again and people wish they had an alternative.

edit: about the browsing experience: I'm on kbin so the layout on dormi.zone is different for me. I have to say it feels very sleek and professional and with some user enhancement scripts I also have collapsing comment threads, domains next to all usernames and similar improvements.

reopening in a restricted form

What are we talking about here? Will it be a protest similar to r/steam or r/pics, a restriction on who can post/comment, or something else entirely?

[–] xvntnc@dormi.zone 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Only pictures of John Oliver as a Warframe?

[–] Dystopia@dormi.zone 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

No, pictures of John Prodman.

Photoshops John Oliver's head onto Prodman
