Reddit broke today: Looks like it doesn't like dark subs in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world

Yup, there's something going on. It's down here too and I've already seen a number of posts on Lemmy about this.

How does (or should) one respond to “Lemmy = tankies” in c/chat@beehaw.org

Maybe say something like, "That's like saying Reddit is for /r/TheDonald. It's just not true. Those guys are really niche. Lemmy is not that."

Do your part, try not to lurk! in c/lemmy@lemmy.ml

Seems to me it makes sense to go ahead and create it. There's no reason the mods on Reddit should necessarily be the mods anywhere else. They don't own the subject under discussion, after all. They just happened to be the ones to start a subreddit or get invited to moderate by others.

There's a real opportunity in being able to create your own community here. If there were problems or issues with a subreddit, whether it be mod problems, rule issues, general tone of the sub, etc, this is a chance to change that and make it right.
