I haven’t been to Reddit for a few days, I’ve also completely deleted my data and my profile from Reddit, and I don’t want to return.
Are we here to stay? Are you moving back to the Warframe subreddit? Are we moving elsewhere, like the official forum, for example?
Personally, I like Lemmy although I miss being able to use GIFs and directly upload videos, so I’m happy if we decide to stay here.
This website is nothing when you look at the massive amount of data and information that is being held at ransom and only affects the community because of this protest.
A lot of the information on reddit was never easy to look up, even trying to find a post through key words was usually pointless. There were also posts that were out of date or had terrible advice for builds like throwing Internal Bleeding on anything that has Impact damage, even if the weapon isn’t suited for it because of low status chance/high fire rate, or good Crit chance meaning Hunter Munitions was the better choice.
Being on a different platform doesn’t fix outdated/bad information but it does let you start fresh without references to outdated guides. The wiki also aggregates information a lot more efficiently than scattered forum posts and can be updated.
The data can be transferred and recreated. Plus, Warframe heavily relies on its wiki, which is unaffected afaik.
Wiki still exists plus if you search for a thread via Google, you can always copy the thread link and try using Wayback Machine. (I’ve used that on a very small thread today and it worked)
Or. And hear me out. They stop this stupid blackout and I don’t need a “way back machine” and can just click. DE used the reddit and this website only stands to destroy the community. People aren’t coming here.
Why do you think the blackout is stupid? Do you think that much of the Warframe userbase actually uses subreddit regularly?
