The Minecraft subreddit won’t be a source for official Mojang communications going forward.

Mojang is a pretty big player that has jumped ship. I’m just wondering if this might be a catalyst for others that have been on the fence about leaving.

Its iffy, while I dislike what Reddit is doing (sort of the reason why I’m here). It is a bit questionable since now they are directing people to their tech support site for conversation I guess the only saving grace is there is a minecraft forum that isn’t official. Since its best not lose sight that there has been some controversy recently against Mojang and Minecraft about them monitoring player’s chats and other interactions and banning people from being able to use private servers. Like I can get them banning people from minecraft realms since those are the “official” servers but it is a bit much to have them possibly banning people from private servers who are the ones doing the hosting responsibilities. I am not saying this to be a “free speech abolitionist” since that is a silly path to go down in a black and white manner, I fully support Lemmy.world and Kbin de-federating with exploding heads since the garbage they were posting were seen and affect the larger fedeverse or whatever its called but with the defederation, explodingshead still exists in its own space where they can do whatever they want but a full proper deletion of that is a bit more objectionable. So to cycle back I just see Mojang overstepping their boundaries and not respecting their players to make an informed choice, I’m all for a accessible banlist that private server can choose to enforce but its problematic for them to have to enforce it when the server hosts should have the right to do as they wish since they are spending the money for the hardware to host said server.

Yeah I was hoping they would go to Discord or something.

Nah, Discord is really bad if you want to find actual information created by users.

They should either create something on Fediverse or go back to the good old Forum times.

Discord is by far the worst alternative. Not only is it worse than a reddit style forum, it has the same “eventually needs to make a profit” corporation ontop of it and when it goes to shit all the information there goes with it because unlike reddit Discord can’t be archived.

This is awesome news, and I bet it is already making noise in the right places.
