Since the whole of reddit is talking about 2b4y then lads lemme tell you something, im very proud of the community, it was the first time in history that the balkans was so united and my main goal when i became the owner of 2b4y was to unite balkans which i think i did one step of it.

Now since the banning of 2b4y has become a site wide discussion there is bound to be different opinions, we are all humans and everyone has their own opinion, some a positive one and others a negative one (doesn't matter that Americans that are ignorant in balkan culture are the most negative). Since the subs existence we coped with the turmoil we had to endure living in the balkans and fought nationalism by embracing it and laughing at it (a artist student said that this is very artistic so i guess she is right), the admins didn't understand that because they never heard of the different culture in our region and of course it was their decision to do what they wanted since this site is a private company and they can do what ever they want in it BUT like they can do anything they want WE can fight back against it, i am so very much proud that we all united to fight for our freedoms and our culture, the whole community told me before yesterday that they rather die standing than go out without a fight. We did that and we brought a tiny little bit of change in Reddit which im sure it will build up and overthrow those who deserve to be so.

It was some good 2 years lads, it was truly a good run and i couldn't ask for a better community and modteam. I will be quitting the 2b4y modteam or what ever is left of it, i did my job thus my journey ends here. You are now the only ones that can change the Balkans to a better place. Fight corruption, fight for your freedoms, fight nationalism, fight racism, be friends with your neighbors and accept everyone!

I'm so sick of Reddit's utterly incompetent and power tripping mods and admins. Reddit already has a very bad history of unlawful bans of users and subreddits just because some flimsy cuck admin/mod gets offended and just do whatever they want because the website has no sense of dignity at all. They ban almost everything that exposes their injustice towards their users and go rant about how their website "promotes" free speech. You can find hundreds of examples of such unfair bans and the admin team absolutely does fuck all about it because most of them are bunch of manchild losers that only have any kind of power or self respect online behind a screen and actually just enjoy abusing their power over regular users. They have no intend to make the website a better place.

And don't get me started on the design of the website or the app, it's just fucking horrendous. It's just another example to show that reddit is employed by absolutely incompetent people from the developers to admins to mods to even the fucking CEO himself that are unfit to run a fucking lemonade stand let alone an international discussion forum with millions of users.

The reason Reddit is so popular today is that people left Digg (which was much more popular than Reddit at the time) and migrated to Reddit after Digg Admins/Devs refused to step-back from some decisions the users hated with burning passion. There is absolutely no reason why the same thing can not happen to Reddit. I'm sure that are many people like me who are willingly switch from Reddit to a better platform, whether it be Saidit or any other forum.

And when it comes to 2b4y, I really hope this Reddit ban doesn't end the beautiful thing we had. It was my favourite sub and I'm both enraged and saddened by its ban. But it is evident that Reddit is not going to back-off from their decision, so the only thing left is for the community to stay intact and migrate over somewhere else. I hope this place grows bigger and can achieve even the glimpse of the former glory it once had.

This recent ban seemed to upset a lot of people, and it is certain that this is not going to be the last unfair ban hammer of the abusive admin team. So I'm hopeful more people will realise the corruption deeply integrated into the Reddit hierarchy and just fuck off from that cesspool.

And don't lose your hope Balkaners, historically we got over much worse shit than this, and a bunch of vitamin deficient basement-dweller trolls won't stop us. We shall prevail again
