No, we will not be going dark. The reasons are simple:

1. This form of protest has proven ineffective on reddit repeatedly.

2. Shutting down the sub on a Monday will have an adverse impact on our readers, including possible production issues.

3. We have avoided reddit "politics" intentionally and will continue to do so.

You are more than welcome to avoid participating on that day which will make the message far clearer to reddit through their metrics than shutting down the sub to folks in need who would be here anyways.

It's disappointing to see the r/sysadmin mods take this stance, but I guess in a way it's a good thing that they've shown their true colors.

Here's hoping that c/sysadmin thrives and replaces it in the near future as the go-to place for all sysadmin stuff.

There's a particular community that I'd like to take over, which has been inactive for over 2 years. One of the mods was last active two years ago, and the other never even made a single post. I've reached out to them to be added as a mod, but I haven't received any response.

Is there anything that the Lemmy admins can do about this? I'd hate for Lemmy to be in the same situation as Reddit, with bunch of abandoned subs with inactive mods and subs getting filled with spam.

Thanks!

Hey all,

If you use Discord and want to engage on a more real-time basis, feel free to jump on! There's always folks around, with engaging discussions and activities, such as Jackbox party games, movie nights, gaming and IRL meetups for those of you in Aoteoroa.

For me:

• Breath of the Wild: 400 hours in, have done only 50% of the game. But now that TotK is out, I'm not sure if I'll ever complete BotW. Perhaps if I'm stuck on a deserted island with my Switch and have nothing better to do, I may pick it up again.

• Skyrim: Countless hours, never really done much of the main storyline, always get lost in modding and optimising the game. Own it on practically all platforms too. But one of these days, I'll get to the main quest...

• Dangerous Dave: Been playing this DOS game on and off since 1990 but still haven't managed to beat it. I always die around level 6/7, blasted sun keeps killing me.

Nothing to see here. For now.
