Multiple subreddits are adopting alternative methods of protesting like publishing only one kind of post and private days.
Excellent work

@itmightbethew These are all great but /r/interestingasfuck seems to have hit on something that could have a real impact: Reddit apparently can’t sell advertising on NSFW subs. Imagine if /r/pics and /r/aww and other tip subs just opened themselves up to whatever, it would down Reddit in porn and destroy the site’s reputation. I’m sure the admins would try to force them back to SFW, but it could be a powerful tactic.
You’re dead right. If $$$ are Spez’s priority then that’s what we should target. A knock on effect is that it catches the attention of the casual redditor. I have a couple friends who read reddit but were clueless on these issues. Until the NSFW content. One DM’d me tonight
"“I was on lunch, and I was like “WTF happened to my reddit feed??””
so that’s working
That NSFW post on r/interestingasfuck has reached r/all lmfao
Big mistake to make on the Internet is to call the Internet’s bluff if you’re at the centre of a controversy. It’s not unlike the Streisand Effect.
I know that this probably won’t work as stubbornly idiotic as Huffman seems to be doubling down but god isn’t that amazing.
What’s fascinating is the sudden increase of people whining about this. If this kind of stuff bothers them imagine how bad it is when these moderators leave completely? I know a subreddit based on interesting things have completely lowered their standards as a protest and it shows.
My friend is no longer using reddit because his front page is mostly porn now (and the default app sucks at hiding it). So I got him to switch to lemmy :)
But if anything, this is an even better protest. Much more effective and hard to deal with
Yep! Its technically reopening and it makes the spez simps mad. Honestly reddit deserves the worst.
If you want to see people really whine, just go on r/JustUnsubbed, you’ll see a bunch of people moaning and groaning about this
I just peeped. So many are clueless and simping to spez
Big Corpo simping is ultra cringe
I subbed to that subreddit specifically to see people whine before lol. I’d say it feels astroterfed but that would be giving them too much credit
"r/Horny is now a “Christian Minecraft server.”
That shit is genius. Not a fan of all this mess. But it has led to new and cool places while creating some funny as hell content with the fallout.
Very true, I’m seeing goats right now and it’s absolutely amazing
There’s some real r/MaliciousCompliance stuff going on and I love it.
Haven’t been back to reddit since i joined lemmy. I like it here.
Have popped into ModCoord a couple of times to check on the state of things… but haven’t been in any of my usual subs.
Need to start subscribing to specific communities here soon but for now enjoying the mix that is all/(active|hot) 😀
Yup, I’ve checked it out anonymously with AdBlock a few times and I click links to posts from mods and things like that but I deleted the app (Boost for Reddit) from my phone and I’m not installing the first party one
My favourite one is anime_titties has a poll about whether to continue with their world political topics or change to a highly moderated pic forum of anime boobs.
Gotta give it to Redditors, they can be quite creative when it’s time to throw shit on the fan.
Absolutely amazing, what other subreddits are thinking to follow suite?
