Why is r/pathofexile set to private?

They unilaterally decided to nuke the whole sub due to a personal crusade some apple developer have with the ego-driven reddit CEO.

I find it funny that they are speaking in behalf of the whole PoE community when they never asked if people wanted the subreddit closed or not.

I guess its our fault for giving so much power to a bunch of fedora reddit mods.

How on earth is this not a general discussion topic for path of exile.

So reddit is going the way of TFT?

I was wondering the same thing when I got the notice my topic had been moved. Meanwhile, there is a similar thread on General (posted after mine) which is still there.

Apparently, it's a big club and we ain't in it. (with apologies to George Carlin)

Tis a good opportunity to 'touch grass', 'see the true sun' or look for other places/things to expend energy on.

Unironically, yes. I for one am happy for any excuse to stop using that POS site. Game communities should not rely on a third-party authority.

I miss the days where the forums were the main place to discuss the game.
