Reddit is purging NSFW subs as well as trans-related subreddits

reddit suicide?

[asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev]

I agree with you. Just checked that subreddit out. Seems like the perfect place for necrophiles. That is just disgusting to look at.

My previous 15yo account was banned with no warning for saying Palestinians have a right to defend themselves at any cost. I never had so much as a post removed or warning from admins. And it left my largest subs unmoderated and now they returned to shit

They want corporate social media

Huh? I follow your point about people and their inertia. But I don’t follow this part.

What turns people off about Lemmy is the complexity of instances and federation and clients. Please nobody lecture me here - I’m active on Lemmy and moderate some subs, but we’re talking about your uncle Bob and his level of ordinary people. We should not forget that these people scrunched up their faces at Twitter itself for years and said ”but what is it?” Only in the fullness of time did it permeate our entire society.

If by “corporate social media” you mean “free, simple, high quality UX, and high popularity” then I agree with you. But it’s the simplicity and popularity that count, not the corporateness.

Wow... Do everything is aligned... are there USA laws pushing this or something? What a pieces of shit

[telodzrum@lemmy.world]

No I can’t

[darreninthenet@lemmy.sdf.org]

If I had to guess, they are testing the ability to switch these off in anticipation of more Trumpian laws being passed

[psythik@lemmy.world]

Just checked and all these supposedly "banned" subs are up and running.

[darth_cum@lemmy.world]

Sounds like a "you" problem.

The last big tech Social Network

Yes it's awesome and sexy. Don't be a weenie.

Purging NSFW subs from Reddit? Will there even be anything left? lol

[plexsheep@infosec.pub]

My thought exactly. Apparently people are using that stinky site for something that's not just porn?

[schizo@forum.uncomfortable.business]

Where else is there to go when I want to read content that's an unmarked advertisement?

Oh right, the NYT/WSJ/WaPo exists, nevermind.

[schizo@forum.uncomfortable.business]

I have to ask but uh, does he REALLY look like that, or has someone photoshopped him. Because if you look up 'weird nerd nobody liked in highschool on a power trip because he runs a webstie now' on wikipedia, that's the image you'd get.

(And before I get lambasted about how I'm judging someone from their appearance: just no. I just find it hilarious the guy who acts like that also happens to look exactly like you'd expect. Some sort of uh, appearance determination thing, or whatever.)

[schizo@forum.uncomfortable.business]

I'd be a little nicer: there's at least one if not two generations now who have never communicated outside of these walled gardens.

Like, I'm entirely certain some of my niblings have no fucking clue what a text message is, since they grew up on snapchat and whatsapp and facebook messenger.

Perhaps a reasonable outreach that's not just 'u suck for using nazi shit!' (which uh, I do agree with) might be a little more useful in capturing anyone under the age of like, 30.

[hal_5700x@sh.itjust.works]

Looks like it was a bug. Because they're still up.

[glitterkoe@lemmy.world]

But in the end it's just as with email: providers, spam filters and clients. Some providers have stricter spam filters (~federation), some might prefer another client. Has there been any significant reason to deviate from that terminology?

Meaningful discovery is a major issue in adoption, though. Pro: no search/discovery algorithm that serves some evil plan of world enshittification. Con: no search/discovery algorithm.

[southsamurai@sh.itjust.works]

Like others have said elsewhere, it wasn't a bug, per se. More that someone fucked up and the tools they use to mass ban subreddits weren't used correctly.

Which, I ain't up on that stuff, but it makes sense.

[humanspiral@lemmy.ca]

omg lemme servers. This is reddit DDOS attack on us.
