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

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.

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.

[demizerone@lemmy.world]

"I'm Steve Huffman, Chief Executive Ball Gargler of reddit. Elon loves me, no really!"

[softestsapphic@lemmy.world]

This is the original. It looks like they might have made his eyes a little bigger but it's pretty close

[carbonatedpastasauce@lemmy.world]

Fair enough. That doesn't excuse the hundreds of millions old enough to know better.

[silentknightowl@slrpnk.net]

I don't know is "webstie" is a typo or not, but it fits with the pig boy theme

[rumba@lemmy.zip]

Bots and conservatives, and conservative bots.

[niketunic@lemmy.world]

yea so i finally left reddit today and joined lemmy. the internet was better when it wasn’t controlled by billionaires.

[ilovethebomb@lemm.ee]

The NSFW subs were mostly onlyfans girls giving us a sneak peek of what we can see if we pay them.

Actually not a huge loss.
