I just have to laugh.
Fuck reddit! I’m here now!
Reddit decides to “crack down” on the protests instead of realizing that it’s all because they’re being jerks.
Removed by mod
Serious question. Can’t the mods delete the subs entirely? Wouldn’t that be the biggest blow? To have to start all of these subs over from scratch?
They can, but Reddit can just as easily restore it, with a blank mod list. But based on their actions I wouldn’t be surprised if they outright ban any mods that try this.
Would all of the people that subscribed to the mod still be there or would it be a blank slate?
I think this should be a last ditch, unannounced effort. Just do it and bounce.
Gotta love the ones that are actually NSFW that they want changed to not. Naked selfies is pretty much the tip of the iceberg with Cyberpunk, with a lot of gore and violence and sex underneath. And there’s some truly fucked up shit that I don’t even want to describe that’s there too, as a side quest continuation of main story events.
The reddit app is only marked PG and not 18+ in the Google Play store - maybe someone should let them know about the content that’s not behind nsfw filters any more?
Not sure if it was just changed, but I see it has a Mature 17+ rating.
Same, I wonder if it’s changed because of all the drama? The rating dropped from like 4.3 to 3.2 stars in the last month, I’d guess people were also reporting it for having mature content.
It’s amazing how fast Reddit went from my favorite place to be online to a trash heap
It’s somehow worse than ifunny
I only go to Reddit now because of one or two forums that don’t exist on here yet, But the more I see stories like this, the more I’m inclined to just say screw it and nuke my account.
Honestly, at this point, my plan is to nuke my account. The only communities on their that I really check that aren’t on here have devolved into mindless rage-bait. Probably a so-long and good riddance situation.
No one regrets getting banned from digg.
“We are now stuck in a difficult position as we do not want the community to die”
Feels to me like they dug their own grave and now complain that the user’s are problem.
What are they expecting after they remove moderators and remove the nsfw status? That the users keep posting? They aren’t dumb and I could imagine that some or most people will probably stop posting there.
There is a whole set of users who apparently think the mods are in the wrong and that Reddit is right. Whether these are real users, and not armies of bots using ChatGPT to generate content, is up for debate. (But they’re definitely bots lol)
The admins were also deleting comments. I had at least a few disappear without explanation or notice. Could be many more, I have no way of even knowing.
Reddit are past the point of no return for me. They could reverse all their API changes but I’m not going back. They’ve show their true colours.
They’ve show their true colours.
For me it was the CEO’s comments.
🤌 For me it was the advocating for death of delivery drivers (poor people)
What was that about?
Basically just “Why I got to tip poor people 🤬”
Weird stuff showing up on popular that ain’t right. Albeit I thread comments by controversial when possible
I find it sad for all the useful information on that website ( which, if you come across, do repost it on a lemmy community! ) and the subreddits dedicated to helping others out. It would be great if we could build that on the fediverse, but I can imagine wanting to reach as many people as possible when you’re helping out veterans for example.
Indeed for years now I always searched for say “best TV Reddit” and got good answers instead of advertising

Where did they go?

i’m still using Reddit for porn, but for other topics i already spend more time on Lemmy. the switch is tough, but they definitely can be replaced.
Even porn looks more boring, not sure if it’s just me or content really suffered from all this.
Gay porn suffered long ago from people just promoting their onlyfans. Annoying af.
That happened to all porn, it got disgusting.
I want to see real people sharing their sexuality, not people faking it for money.
The final warning was enough to cause the moderators for r/Military—a forum partly devoted to helping veterans—to stop operating as a NSFW subreddit. “We are now stuck in a difficult position as we do not want the community to die,” the moderator team wrote.
Cowards.
Did you wear the uniform? What are you doing to help prevent the 22 suicides a day among our service members?
This is what the military subs have had to weigh when making these calls.

Another thing I never see anyone in US is talking about: If US veterans need so much help (and they really do), what is happening to people in counties they were fighting against? And those are not only soldiers, but whole families. Everyone ober there has witnessed same shit they did, kids, elders, moms…
So it’s everyone else’s responsibility to protect people subjected to Israeli wars by the lapdog US government?
We should direct everyone on Reddit to Lemmy. Then, (this is copy pasted, I’m not a bot) add an option to the third party apps for Lemmy so you can opt in to ads that support your instance and the platform. Force me to use your bullshit app so you can make more money? Fuck you. I came here from Reddit. But I’d opt in to ads to support something that is clearly better.
Why can’t we just pay them with money? I block every ad I can, because everything is better without ads.
If there is no option for paying outside of using me as a datapoint, I’m going to be a freeloader.
Also, respectfully to all those here gathered, fuck reddit. It’s over. It doesn’t love us and never did.
This is what fucks me off so bad. Tell me what I’m worth as a datapoint, and if I want to pay that directly to be left the fuck alone I should be able to.
So much this. I suspect there’s an issue around opt out making the platforms less appealing to advertisers. The people with disposable income to spend opting out of ads, might be exactly the ones advertisers want to reach.
That, actually, makes sense, it never crossed my mind.
More than that, it is trackers on which, probably, no one knows how much is worth.
No ads, ads are evil.
Feed me a donation link.
Id prefer some ads. No objection to then in rif, and let’s be honest- everything nsfw or news is an advert in some way.
I think we should try with opt-in ads.
And it would be on me if I want to donate money, or via ads or nothing at all.
After that we can see if that is enough or more active approach is needed.
We can even have an opt-in for NSFW ads, which would probably make more money. Most of the time I don’t mind, it is just important that I can switch it off.
