I’ve really enjoyed seeing this sub grow so much these past few weeks. I’m looking forward to seeing it continue to grow!

I like the small community vibe. It’s like early reddit before all the dickheads showed up. Everyone here is respectful and nice.

The thing I missed about the old r/NBA is the actually play highlights rather than the plethora of Twitter posts !

True, and people discussed the game more, instead of karma farming memes and shitposts

Pure highlights would be something I would love with less emphasis on social media ramblings.

I avoided /r/nba a lot over the years sticking to my Heat sub, but it’s a nice respectful community here so far.

Did /r/NBA mods even show support for the blackout? It’s one of reddit’s most popular subs, and I wouldn’t dare moderate such community without mod tools…

They did, but most of the community was pissed about it.

Yeah the users were very pissed from what I saw. To be honest that sub was getting pretty toxic and I was on it for over a decade. It’s nice to come out to a smaller community, reminds me of the old days.

The responses to the blackout on /r/NBA are a big part of what convinced me that it was time to move on. It was so dismissive and toxic.

I think the mods let the community decide and it was like 55/45 for it… They ended up doing the 2 day protest, but was right back up and running after the 2 days. I’m not surprised that many people were against protesting, as most those people were casual users and probably only used r/NBA and didn’t visit the other subs.

Glad it’s growing! The more people we have the more content. I just hope it doesn’t ask devolve into commenting the same damn pastas again and again.

Sources: ConditionOverload is beside himself. Browsing around !nba begging (thru posts) that copypasta is kept to a minimum

I thought I’d miss the void that r/nba left but this has grown (and keeps growing) as a community. Been trying to do my part by being much more active than I was on Reddit.
