The r/Warframe subreddit will be reopening in a restricted form on June 21st, when the 7 Crimes of Kullervo update releases.

While dormi.zone was initially created as an alternative platform for r/Warframe on Reddit during its blackout, since then we have gained subscribers from all across the fediverse who have been yearning for a place to discuss Digital Extremes’ flagship game. Thank you for joining and helping this community grow!

We recognize that there needs to be a space to discuss the fate of r/Warframe, but we’re also noticing a rising amount of duplicate posts about this topic, aggravating users who are here to discuss Warframe the videogame and may have even found their way here through means other than our blackout.

To keep these posts from overwhelming the frontpage of this community without denying them the visibility they should have, we will be funneling all discussion about the r/Warframe subreddit in this pinned megathread.

Once r/Warframe reopens, meta discussion about r/Warframe will return to Reddit.

    Your twitter account wasn’t (probably) an active and living part of a game development studio’s online presence. Individuals can do whatever they want with their accounts, obviously, but the subreddit isn’t that, it’s a forum. All the people that choose not to engage with reddit anymore can just do that, but the people who want to interact with warframe ON reddit in SPITE of reddit (I hate twitch but I still watch these streamers, I hate youtube but I still watch yada-yada, etc;) can’t anymore with the sub closed. Do what you want, but let everyone else do that, too.

      In the same vein, Reddit moderators should be free to close down the subreddit. The subreddit is ultimately a reflection of their hard work and their values. They’re the ones who take care of and manage the subreddit, and they’re the ones disproportionately affected by the API changes.

      It’s no different from a forum admin closing down a forum. Ultimately, it’s their decision and their right.

        Hard disagree

        When bus drivers quit, they don’t get to keep the bus. Any admin who thinks they OWN their forum enough to close it down (Especially when they don’t even own the website it’s on) is power tripping. Again, individual users can do what they like, and any moderator who doesn’t want to operate on new reddit doesn’t have to, more power to 'em. But they don’t take the slot with them when they leave.

        Thankfully the mod team understands this, they talk about it in their return reddit post.
