Your intentions are good, but to be fair to the reddit crowd, the way your post was written reads a lot like an advertisement. Trying to convince others like this is typically unproductive - people will just go to wherever the content is. It’s up to all of us to generate that content and give them a reason to migrate out of their comfort zone.
You should just start up a magazine yourself if you want one to exist, even if you’ve never moderated before. It’s not that big a deal at this early stage and if it grows big enough, you can always hand it off to someone else.
CRT monitors: the Intergraph Interview 28HD96, informally known as the “Carmacktron” (see picture)
A true 16:9 aspect ratio PC CRT monitor with a maximum output of 2042x1152 @ 80Hz. Not the highest horizontal frequency out there but an absolute monster in 1995.

I have no insight into the internal discussions of the /r/retrogaming mod team, but my DMs with DreadedChalupacabra prior to the blackout indicated that they were heavily in favor of the protest. I think this turn of events was just coincidental.

Agreed. I plan to make some posts around June 29th in the subreddits I frequented offering their alternatives in the fediverse - right before the 3rd party deadline.
I made a magazine that’s a successor to both r/CRTgaming and r/CRT: https://kbin.social/m/CRTs/
June 30th is gonna be real interesting once the reality of the situation sets in. I encourage everyone here to be the change you want to see - don’t be afraid to participate here and create a new magazines for any niche interest you may have!
I just recently figured out what IANAL meant after a decade plus on Reddit.
The shadow remains cast.
Thank you for 12 years of fun, talklittle
