If that one post informed one person, I consider it a victory!
Seems like some follow-up work is in order. I've seen at least one person not see the point (that it's on Lemmy). They failed their knowledge check (arcana, or history? IDK)! Maybe someone can lend them some bardic inspiration?
That post is still pinned, and the newest post is 5 hours old. The next newest is 22 hours old. It's almost eerily quiet over there right now.
There's a good reason for this - which the "mods die" post does somewhat outline.
As part of the mass purge of NSFW posts and changing the policy, the sub was set to "manual approval" of all posts, meaning for any new post to appear there, a mod has to manually tick that it's okay to let it through.
And they banned three of the most active mods at the same time.
When I posted that image, it was held in a queue for about 30 minutes, and then suddenly 30 posts appeared all at once, (presumably a mod logged in and cleared out the queue) - then nothing for half a day.
This is exactly what led me here, gonna have to bookmark this on my PC too. since I stopped using Chrome on PC, my bookmarks don't transfer as easily.
Also, love the art style, and the goblin girl is a lot like one of my wife's OCs in her innocence
She's too cute.
Just got done watching Goblin Slayer so it's hard to admit, but she is pretty cute.
I'm still on reddit aswell as feddi but I unsubscribed from DNDmemes over there. Eventually as I find suitable (and active) replacements for all my usual reddit haunts I figure I'll just naturally stop going there entirely.
Pretty sad how the "free speech" platform is removing all comments that mention the Fediverse
I was expecting that to happen. Haven't seen it yet but was expecting it.
I'd already been subscribed here from kbin.social but that post got me to make an account on this server and prioritize switching here.
You've opened the flood gates. So many comments already of people joining us. Good job. Head pats
One of us!
I actually just joined a few days ago because of the fall of the subreddit.
That's how I got here!
The chaos in the comments over there is pretty phenomenal.
I mean, if anyone knows how to become ungovernable...
Was the sub taken over by new mods or is it something else?
reddit admins permanently banned 3 mods, removed the lewd and smut flairs, banned all NSFW content going forward, etc etc.

This afternoon, r/dndmemes received the following message from the Mod Code of Conduct account:
If you suddenly begin to post, or approve content that features sexually explicit content to your community in order to justify the NSFW label, we will immediately remove and permanently suspend moderators who have participated in this action. 3 moderators have been permanently suspended and removed from the mod team for participating in this activity already. They are not to be added back to the team under any account.
Moments later, and without further warning, the following mods were removed from the team and permanently suspended from Reddit:
u/Dalimey100 u/4cheese u/EquivalentInflation Additionally, Mod CoCk deleted our newly added SMUT and LEWD flairs and removed all recent posts using either of those flairs.
In light of admins making the unilateral decision to remove the very ability to use Reddit's features to properly label and categorize content within our subreddit (supposedly the one thing mods are supposed to do according to the Code), all posts will be automatically removed by Automod, pending manual review of all content here in the subreddit. Additionally, NSFW content may no longer be posted as (even though our rules have never disallowed NSFW content) allowing any posts is apparently grounds for permanent suspension.
This will be our mode of operation while we work through this issue and until submissions that would have fallen under our NSFW flairs have died down. Given the removal of some of our most active moderators, this will also result in many large delays between posting and approval. Please keep in mind this is a volunteer position and do not message asking for approval. Dealing with responding to needless messages will only increase our workload and your message will likely be ignored. All posts will be reviewed....eventually.
Further rule adjustments or posting requirements may be forthcoming and we will be sure to update everyone when they do.
They're really going shock and awe on this.
The mods pinned my comic and set it as an announcement.
I'm laughing so hard right now.
