The protest has never ended. We have been trying to communicate with Reddit admins, who seemed at first to be willing to talk to us, but we are only getting the silent treatment and threats to reopen the subreddit.

    See, they did it very right - after they reopened to only fox pictures, they created a kbin and linked to it. That’s a good way to encourage folks to move.

    All legacy technical posts will remain available so that searching for help related to the browser is still available, but henceforth and until the reddit admins appropriately reply to our concerns, the only new submissions allowed will be ones that contain the cuddly fuzzy little animals from which the subreddit indirectly received its name:‌

    The red panda! Also known as fire foxes. ‌

    If you are looking for technical posts, we now have an official community on Kbin. Keep in mind that Lemmy also federates with Kbin. We continue to be around on Matrix as well.

    Yay for Firefox!!

    btw, if anyone wants a shitty pic of a firefox then I declare this one now in the public domain.

    Edit: I should add that I don’t have a Reddit account to post this myself.

      Did you see the whole thing? They changed it to only allow pics of foxes and red pandas, and said for actually technical stuff, to go to their kbin. They’re doing it right - making it unusable while sending people here for their new community/magazine.
