They did the same with interestingasfuck. The subs are basically dead. As soon as they leave restricted mode, the subs will be flooded with shitposts and porn. No way to moderate a turned hostile community.
Some are fine with whatever happened. I used to check r/formula1 to keep up (since yesterday I must install the app and create an account to see it; before you could click “use the browser” and still access it) and there things were completely normal like nothing happened.
The formula1 communities here are either repost bots or not active.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
This is the official technology community of Lemmy.ml for all news related to creation and use of technology, and to facilitate civil, meaningful discussion around it.
Ask in DM before posting product reviews or ads. All such posts otherwise are subject to removal.
Rules:
1: All Lemmy rules apply
2: Do not post low effort posts
3: NEVER post naziped*gore stuff
4: Always post article URLs or their archived version URLs as sources, NOT screenshots. Help the blind users.
5: personal rants of Big Tech CEOs like Elon Musk are unwelcome (does not include posts about their companies affecting wide range of people)
6: no advertisement posts unless verified as legitimate and non-exploitative/non-consumerist
7: crypto related posts, unless essential, are disallowed
The mods have been removed, but in spite of what the admin said they haven’t been replaced. The sub is in restricted mode, effectively read only.
Reddit is slowly turning into a graveyard.

The mods should have reopened the subs and quiet quit - no rules other than reddit’s rules.
yess die shit
And good luck finding replacement moderators who are knowledgeable and passionate about the subject.

There’s geddit
You can use old.reddit.com to bypass that, at least for now.
r/formula1 is most likely modded by people from Liberty Media
Like Spez cares about little things like “passion” and being “factually correct”.
Spez doesn’t, of course. But the quality of the subreddit will suffer and the users will care about that.
