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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Bots and conservatives, and conservative bots.

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.

I am hoping the EU and Blue States does a funding program to make open-source and federated projects more user-friendly. There is far too many proprietary ecosystems that will turncoat within years. We need alternatives that are approachable and easy for people to transfer their lives into.

Even in the Working From Home age, that content is Not Suitable For Work because the blood frequenty rushing away from one's brain isn't good for productivity.

[phr34ky@lemmy.world]

It's FDoS when it's federated.

[siegfried@lemmy.world]

A post i saw in reddit back in the day mapped the net of linked communities in comment section. To surprise of no one, nsfw and sfw were in practice fully seggregated.

I hope they are paying the hosting bill for all that media.
