A few years back there used to be some sort of pathway for creating subs to migrate reddit communities dealing with admins bullshit, shills, etc.

Is that still a thing? As I ranted about yesterday, reddits censorship machine is going into absolute overdrive and I think there's a lot of folks (even outside of the normal dissident/MAGA demographics) who could be won over, if the communities website wants to grow and overtake reddit.

I cannot for the life of me remember what the procedure was, who to contact, all I remember is that the original subreddits founder needs to be contacted and give permission.

I sometimes comment in a community called wayofthebern, which is sort of a dissident left wing but good intentioned free speech sub, and reddit has been slowly purging the folks there over the past year

It's founder guy Fthumb got banned about a year ago for an absurd reason (talking about Israeli influence in Biden's cabinet), the entire website Saidit used as a backup got nuked, and out of the original folks there everyone is dwindling down

Sorry if this seems off topic to the sub or whatever, but I've been reminded of this sub during the Epstein emails and revelations, which brought me back to Kotaku-in-Action #1's original founder being a subversive trying to gatekeep everyone, which reminded me of this place
