Mensrights should shut down on 12th, like so many other major subreddits

Mods are discussing this at the moment. My feeling is that shutting down our sub will not contribute much and will be negative for our users.

As an old.reddit.com user, why? I'll admit I'll miss revddit to see comments removed, but not enough to stop sharing information here and certainly not enough to paint a bigger target on this subreddit that is only reluctantly tolerated by reddit.

What's the significance of the 12th?

Why does need to shut down?

Don't think the admins like us or care very much. With how biased they are against men's rights and how much leniency they give to TwoX and other man-hating communities I'd wager our staying up is something they'd dislike more.

I fully expect reddit to die within the next few years no matter what we do. Here's a good article that explains the forces at play that push this to happening:

I'd support going dark as a show of support. It seems worth a shot to try to convince the owners to not follow this same path of running it into the ground.

I think people don't realizer how important this is for marginalised subs. Once the 3rd party apps are gone, the API's will go next and with them the ability to backum or migrate marginalised sub.
