The protest has never ended. We have been trying to communicate with Reddit admins, who seemed at first to be willing to talk to us, but we are only getting the silent treatment and threats to reopen the subreddit.

    All legacy technical posts will remain available so that searching for help related to the browser is still available, but henceforth and until the reddit admins appropriately reply to our concerns, the only new submissions allowed will be ones that contain the cuddly fuzzy little animals from which the subreddit indirectly received its name:‌

    The red panda! Also known as fire foxes. ‌

    If you are looking for technical posts, we now have an official community on Kbin. Keep in mind that Lemmy also federates with Kbin. We continue to be around on Matrix as well.

    Yay for Firefox!!

      we now have an official community on Kbin.

      To be clear, they don’t mean kbin.social, but another server that runs the Kbin software. Lemmy users wanting to join should search for this: https://fedia.io/m/firefox

    See, they did it very right - after they reopened to only fox pictures, they created a kbin and linked to it. That’s a good way to encourage folks to move.

    btw, if anyone wants a shitty pic of a firefox then I declare this one now in the public domain.

    Edit: I should add that I don’t have a Reddit account to post this myself.

    Move to lemmy. r/nerf just moved to my instance discuss.online/c/nerf. Change all your content to be about foxes getting fired from their jobs.

    Just a heads up to everyone, there is now a megathread regarding Reddit and Reddit related apps shutdown over here: https://beehaw.org/post/872997

    I’m going to lock this thread to help redirect the conversation over there. Sorry for any inconvenience caused!
