Just saw this, and didnt see it here.
The minecraft devs have decided that Reddit is no longer a suitable place for their official discussions.
Well fuck I’d say that’s kind of a big deal.
Hell yeah, that’s a big draw for Minecraft fans to go elsewhere
Minecraft is why I started using Reddit way back in 2011. Kinda weird to think about.
hopefully the first of many
It’s a big deal. Minecraft is a huge community, most of the big YouTubers or Streamers become big because of it or Fortnite.
You also have to remember that it’s Microsoft behind Minecraft, it’s the second GAFAM after Google which is unhappy with the situation.
It’s definitely gonna affect the IPO negatively.
At this point, anyone who thinks Reddit will come out of this smelling like roses is an idiot.
Caroline … you’d need a golden calculator to divide …
It’s also the no 1 best selling video game of all time, by a sizable margin, so it would be a big deal regardless.
Cool, but let’s not pretend Mojang are the good guys.
They added chat moderation on private servers that you host yourself on your own hardware using your own internet.
The entire community was in uproar over it for months and they didn’t care. They deleted all criticism from their sub and continued on like nothing was happening. They refused to answer any questions about it, and uploaded new snapshots that only had ONE change, and that was to break mods that disabled chat moderation.
This was so bad it actually prompted modders to backport all of the 1.19 features to 1.18.
Just thought I’d remind everyone. Mojang is a shit company now that they are owned by Microsoft. They are not the good guys.
for sure. They can do something good in one context, and something that i strongly disagree with in another.
This was so bad it actually prompted modders to backport all of the 1.19 features to 1.18.
This has been a thing for every major modern version. Its faster for a single enterprising dev to backport things than for the entire mod scene to update to a new version. I distinctly remember playing Blackgear’s Caves and Cliffs Backport on 1.16.
There are, however, Forge/Fabric mods that completely remove the reporting system.
How is this related though
Wow didn’t know about the chat moderation. Haven’t spun up my server since a year or so, but good to know for when the next cycle of Minecraft gaming sessions hit again.
This. I stopped playing Minecraft when they tried to force me to enter my real phone number to keep using my account.
Give us your first born child or we won’t let you use what you paid us for!
MineTest is better anyway. If you miss it, play that instead.
I have to admit that it was a while since I tried any Minecraft-likes, but the last time I tried most of them were pretty bare-bones. Vintage Story is decent, but it’s much more focused on the survival aspect (which makes it a bit tedious) and doesn’t have a lot of content, either.
Maybe I’ll give it a try again.
major brands are leaving Reddit
Every day, spez comes closer to his dream of following Daddy Elon’s ‘vision’ for Twitter
- Destroy major company - Check, done.
This is the death by a thousand cuts Reddit needs.
Not all heroes wear capes
But the Minecraft Devs probably do anyway
Well that’s an epic way of walking out with your head held high. I tip my hat to u/sliced_lime.
There’s a typo in your title. You can edit post titles on Lemmy :)
Thanks. fixed. thats what i get for posting before bed.
AFAIK it also changes the URL
Big if true
Thank you Minecraft. I hope other devs do the same
Well yeah. I mean, it’s barely usable and definitely not the same vibe with a bunch of knock off subs in r/all and Instagram like posts.
Who knew it would go to shit so fast when you piss off the content creators, the foundation of your platform?
