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

      I feel that every publisher/developer could self-host, basically having a subreddit that is more within their control than before.

      Game forums still have good information, this could unite what Reddit hadn’t fully.

      It’s owned by Microsoft now. Not like M$ is any better than Reddit. Software devs unionized? Nope. Didn’t think so.

    reddit finds out that telling people they don’t actually own their own communities is… counter-productive??/!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

    Pretty rich coming from the guys who overly moderate players’ private Minecraft servers up to and including banning players for saying a no-no word…

      If they’re banning people who use slurs, I’m all for it and beehaw may not be the place for you.

        Being anti freedom of speech (as a concept not the law) is fucking cringe.

        No beehaw isn’t the place for me.

        if you’re not aware of that whole thing, the issue is not that mojang is banning people for using slurs, it’s that their list of bad words with way too broad, and you might get banned for saying “night” or I think even “zzzzz” or whatever things you might say as you’re going to sleep.

        banning for slur, yes very good banning for a word that’s in a naughty list that’s not bad or even pretty common, that’s silly

        I agree with that but they have also at times banned people for just regular swearing on their own private servers.

        I hate this response.

        Mojang also spies on your private server hosted on your own PC with your own internet playing with your own friends.

        Mojang shouldn’t get that kind of control. That’s crazy.

        Also, does Mojang require photo ID before they ban people for “slurs”? I’m not sure if a black person should get banned for saying the N word on their own private server.

        Maybe if Mojang helps pay for my internet bill or my electricity bill they can have control over my private server. Until then, they can kindly screw off.

        And the fact they’ve released patches specifically to block mods that remove chat reporting and nothing else goes to show how scummy they are.

        Chat reporting should only be enabled on PUBLIC REALM servers hosted by Mojang. That’s really the only place you can justify what they are doing.
