ANNOUNCEMENT: Addressing the CEO of CI Games' politically motivated agenda. Direct links to X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and Instagram are no longer permitted.
OPENING THOUGHTS:
The CEO of CI Games, Marek Tymiński, is actively supporting and promoting fascist ideology under the guise of catering to the player base. As a moderation team, along with many gamers worldwide, we are deeply shocked and disgusted by the events of the past few weeks.
In response, we have removed all CI Games and Hexworks officials from the moderation team. However, we want to make it clear that those removed are honourable and decent individuals, and we have nothing but respect for them. Every interaction we’ve had with them since the game’s launch has been nothing short of extraordinary. Unfortunately, this decision affects the wrong people.
Our concerns are directed solely at the CEO and, at this time, no one else.
Over the past several weeks and months, we have seen a significant increase in hate speech, misconduct, and violations of reddiquette whenever content from these platforms is shared. Additionally, we have experienced an influx of users spreading fascist views, both on the subreddit and via modmail.
Let us be clear: we do not tolerate any violations of our "behavioural rules", nor do we condone or support fascist ideology. Anyone engaging in such misconduct will face a permanent ban. You can find our subreddit’s rules here or in the sidebar.
WHY ARE WE BANNING THESE PLATFORMS?
While the rise in misconduct related to X (Twitter), Facebook, and Instagram is a key factor, there are additional reasons for this decision:
- X (Twitter), Facebook, and Instagram now require a login to view content, making it inaccessible to those without accounts.
- The spread of misinformation, disinformation, and propaganda has significantly increased.
- These corporations have actively enabled fascism, removed fact-checking measures, censored certain keywords from search algorithms, and silenced communities while allowing harmful rhetoric to thrive.
- We refuse to support platforms that profit from misinformation, hate speech, and incitement of violence.
HOW WILL THIS WORK?
Any direct link to X (Twitter), Facebook, or Instagram, whether in posts or comments, will be automatically removed.
WHAT ABOUT SCREENSHOTS FROM THESE PLATFORMS?
After consideration, we have decided not to allow screenshots from these platforms, as verifying their authenticity is difficult.
WHATS NEXT?
These new rules take effect immediately.
ALTERNATIVE TO X (Twitter)?
Bluesky is a great alternative, and many users and outlets have already made the switch.
If you have any suggestions for improving this process, feel free to share them in the comments or via modmail.
Additionally, if any moderators from other subreddits would like access to the automoderator scripts we’ve written, we are happy to share them. Simply contact us via modmail.
The Lords Of The Fallen mod team
E. We would like to clarify that the developers have only been removed from the mod team. They are still welcome to post on the subreddit, including Patch Notes, AMAs, and engage in meaningful discourse with the community. This has already been communicated to them. As stated in the post, this decision is not about the developers but concerns the CEO.
