They also suspended all our accounts for 7 days.
As the original creator and designer of the logo and banner, I also filed a DMCA against the further use of the r/TIHI logo on reddit.

Thanks, I Love It.
Unfortunately that has no chance of succeeding. When you sign up to reddit, you give them a license to use the content you submit. It's in the user agreement, section 5 "Your Content": https://www.redditinc.com/policies/user-agreement
This doesn't hold any grounds in the EU as copyrights can't be waived, and unless you got paid for it, you can withdraw consent at any time.
You don't waive your copyright. You grant a license to reddit to use your content.
Read the link, it's all there:
You retain any ownership rights you have in Your Content, but you grant Reddit the following license to use that Content:

Do you intend to try and move the community somewhere else, e.g. here?
Yes, we are already talking about that in the mod team. Happy to find a new home in kbin, we were all pretty much done by this point
That's great to hear. I'll be subscribing ASAP.
Hi, another of the mods who got nuked.
TIHI had a place saved here yesterday (because I didn't trust Spez) and is going by the name TIHI! (Marvel at my creativity.)
I'm waiting on the kbin developer to tell me WHY I can't add Pfhali, Davis, Blank, Sezar and Funkadelic_Toaster, but once he does the whole team will be back and we will be making the sub just like before.
Before the NSFW I mean.
On this note I want to say a big thank you to all our mod team, they did an excellent job all these years!
I'll be thankful for everything they have done.
Did you already send Ernest a message? I've noticed he's really good at responding to messages he's just really busy at the moment for obvious reasons haha. Also weird that you can't add others to be mods on the magazine I haven't seen others have any issues with that yet, wonder if it's a bug on that one magazine for some reason
Here meaning TIHI@kbin.social? How do I sub or join or whatever it is I do now?
Yep, right here! Just search TIHI and...your guess is as good as mine 😂
You can do like in reddit, expect instead of r/tihi you go m/tihi (since they're magazines here, if it was on lemmy the url would've been c/tihi since they're called communities).
TLDR; go to kbin.social/m/tihi and hit subscribe on the sidebar.
You are on lemmy so you have to search for
!TIHI@kbin.social (note the exclamation mark) to subscribe. Or if someone else on your instance already follows just go to lemmy.nz/c/TIHI@kbin.social
Edit: Federation between kbin and lemmy is still a bit unstable so you might need to wait a few hours for it to show up

Well done.
In 7 days I'm going to speedrun a permanent account ban.

It's easy for them to attack the remaining subreddits when half of reddit, bent the knee at the slightest threat of having mod powers removed. Imagine how hard it would have been to do this if a majority of subreddits had stuck together.
Yes there’s an element of people not wanting to lose their power. But for every dickhead powermod there are dozens of small subreddits with a handful of people working hard to establish and maintain a community, largely altruistically and thanklessly.
Modding, when it’s done well by dedicated people with a passion for their subject, can be incredibly powerful. There are some communities (eg legaladvice, askhistorians) that are unique and just couldn’t exist without those people dedicating untold hours to tending to them to prevent them from descending into chaos. Not to mention the custom tools almost all of them rely on.
Have a read of Legaladviceuk announcement.
Yeah the issue with my sub is we've worked really hard to create the community we have. A lot of our users won't leave. I've decided to use an automod sticky comment on every post letting everyone know where the rest of our official pages are. I have seen very little migration unfortunately.
We decided as a mod team to keep our sub open. We're all migrating off Reddit but we're keeping our accounts for our one singular sub.

More than half the subs are modded by the same handful of power mods. No way they would give that up, they’re probably government run accounts anyway.

That was some weak ass protest anyway. Let's protest for just 2 days! No wonder Steve Huffman just gloated about it all over and even called the mods "landed gentry"

Reddit: "we will make up whatever rules we want, whenever we want, so that we can keep funding the payments on our BMWs"
Normally, companies try and implement changes in their product in a diplomatic way, but I guess Reddit never got that memo.
Since when they have a rule to prevent SFW subs from turning into NSFW subs? Did they add the clause just recently?
They didn't care/enforce it during the whole anime_titties/worldpolitics shenanigans, so either new or enforced when they feel like it. Centralised control sure is great.

spez and his jackbooted thugs are doing everything they can to burn reddit to the ground before July 1.
I like how you're in trouble for allowing NSFW posts in a sfw community, oh but also you're not allowed to mark things NSFW.
Typical dogshit from Reddit admins, holy shit it gets worse every day

This subreddit is unmoderated. Visit /r/redditrequest to request it.
Holly shit! I'm going to get some popcorn.
As one of the former mods, I am REALLY hoping someone turns it into a hate sub for Steven Kings acclaimed book and the not so acclaimed films.
The fact that the whole mods team got wiped out means none of them are scabs. Hat off for holding your ground.
You are free to do whatever you want with your subreddit as long as do do exactly the things we tell you to do
Stop giving them content for free, they are milking you like cows. That's why they are restoring your deleted content, because they are making cash out of your messages. Leave reddit behind and enter the fediverse.

A user on tildes describes how to go scorched earth for mods:
- Turn off all spam filtering
- Disable minimum karma requirements
- Allow all posts, disable all rules
- Unban all banned users
- Purge all allowed submitters
- Turn off AutoModerator, Scrub all configs
- Delete all CSS and uploaded images/maps
- Blank all sidebars, Delete all flairs
- Allow NSFW content, Enable sub's content on /all
- Set the sub's color scheme on mobile to something vomit-inducing
- Blank all of the text options such as the sub's topic listing
- Grab a copy of anything in the wikis worth saving
- Disable and permanently remove all third party mod tools and bots
- Invite all users to the moderation team with full comment/submission privs
- GDPR request for their own account data and then
- Use it to delete their accounts and all of their content
The options in bold, they have no defense for. That's where the pressure points lie. The rest they can cope with, but not those options, not if lots of subs and users go that route.
- Unban all banned users
- Invite all users to the moderation team with full comment/submission privs
Do both of these together. Make every banned account into a mod!
Might want to avoid turning the sub NSFW, reddit admins claimed that as the criteria they are watching for to remove mods. They say they are taking action to prevent porn being spammed.

This is becoming dystopian
r/aboringdystopia ehhh I mean, c/? I wonder if those guys are here yet, gonna go search.
Thanks, I hate it
Watching the dumpster fire in real-time. Nice.
What was the TIHI subreddit about? (I don't want to even go to reddit to find out. Blocked that site).
Thanks, I Hate It
Thanks I hate it! It's whatever stuff that makes you say that.
So, it's about reddit admin decisions?

So what they're saying is that their nsfw system isn't up to snuff. Maybe focus on fixing that?
fuck spez. fuck reddit's board of directors.
Didn't the subreddit have a vote to switch to being nsfw? How is that showing people stuff against their wishes?

Damn! Seeing it happen to/r/mildlyinteresting is what made me eventually sign up here! This is just reiterating that decision.
I wonder how many other people are going to do the same thing I did
