LONG LIVE FOSSCAD - Subscribe To /r/3D2A

The signal will never be stopped

TLDR: subscribe to https://reddit.com/r/3D2A. Spread the signal.

The subreddit /r/fosscad has long been the central public hub for discussion of guncad on the internet. While I believe that most people are exposed to 3D2A via social media posts and Youtube videos, /r/fosscad is the first place people go to truly engage in the hobby.

And now it’s gone:

Why did this happen? Rule 7 requires that subs “avoid posting illegal content or soliciting or facilitating illegal or prohibited transactions.” Yet such behavior was expressly prohibited by /r/fosscad’s rules.

We may learn more the reason for this ban, or who was responsible, in the coming days. In the meantime, the question on everyone’s lips is: what next?

Introducing /r/3D2A

This all was of course foreseen, and so a backup was established. That backup is https://reddit.com/r/3D2A.

The community needs a “front page” for all visitors to learn about what’s new. /r/fosscad was this frontpage, and now /r/3D2A steps into this role.

I invite all /r/fosscad refugees to visit and subscribe to the new subreddit. All Reddit jannies reading this should know that this subreddit will be compliant with all Reddit rules.

IMPORTANT: In addition to /r/3D2A, I also highly recommend visiting and bookmarking the Guncad Index, which will serve as the best location going forward to track file releases. 3D2A is a proud partner and sponsor of the Guncad Index; these recent events have proven their immense value to the community.

As more news becomes available, and as the new subreddit develops, I’ll be posting more updates here. As such, please subscribe to the Digest, and forward it to a friend:

Thank you!
