This was posted about a week ago, but I haven't seen it in this sub yet so I thought I would do a bit of a write up for the (minor) drama.

/r/dndmemes seemed to me to be one of the more actively resisting subreddits when reddit made their API changes, first joining the private subreddit protest, then extended the private status of the sub until the mods were "forced" to reopen. The next phase was that the entire subreddit started posing NSFW smut/porn memes, until this too petered out. The final phase seems to be that only one or two "approved" users can post to the subreddit, with the rest of the users unable to post like they used to.

The dndmemes mods outlined this in a FAQ post outlying why they made these changes, writing that this was not in any way related to the API change protests anymore, and this was how they needed to operate to maintain the subreddit.

In addition, the mods are advertising a new reddit alternative for dnd-related memes, outside of reddit on ttrpg.network.

Users used their bonus action to rage, and were not generally very happy, and the comments criticizing these decisions are mostly upvoted in response.

Yeah I’m just gonna head out then. Does anyone have another sub for dnd memes? 30 points

So, instead of doing anything about any of this, you guys choose to be silent for a month, didn't respond to modmail, didn't even actively try to promote ttrpg.network, left the sub to one rando, didn't try to recruit more mods... This isn't on the admins anymore. This is on you. 47 points

I'm so tired of this. Stop holding the sub hostage 28 points

Yup, just egos going haywild. They think we even cared about them to begin with when we just wanted memes. Pathetic children. 4 points

This, however, is just punishing all of us, the users... Downvote me if you want. I've said my piece, and if you disagree and you hate reddit then why even downvote since they wouldn't even matter to you? 26 points

Here’s an idea: You stop fucking over the community as hard as Spez has and just let us post again 8 points

Quit holding the sub fucking hostage. Yeah spez sucks but all you are doing is justifying the removal actions they took in the first place because your best interests are not aligned with the community. TLDR? Fuck off and open up again already 7 points

I swear to fucking god I'm the only one who is capable of critical thinking on the entirety of reddit. You all should be so ashamed of yourselves. 3 points

If you're going to protest just protest, this shit makes you look like petulant children. 1 point

And my favorite and a natural 20:

God, this subreddit is sad now. Just a hollow, rotting corpse that exists just to advertise an external community that nobody wants to fucking use. Ugh. 1 point

A few comments supported the mods, but only a few, and many like this, were downvoted:

"Wah wah wah, sub won't do what I want it to do"- Keep it up with the select posters only. It's nice, and nobody's able to fight with endless shitty posts back and forth anymore, which is great. Unless Veggie fights that new guy or vice versa. -2 points

Quite a few more fun comments in the FAQ.
