Let's beat Reddit

Here have some spam from Reddit, now this place feels more at home, doesn't it?

The bad points, way outnumber the good at Reddit.

Reddit has told r/pics mods to open the sub, and to be the sub their users want it to be. So they ran a user poll. By overwhelming mandate, r/pics is now a sub for pics of John Oliver looking sexy. https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/14b2a6q/poll_decide_on_the_future_of_rpics/

Reddit is used to brawls between its 57 million daily users. Now its keyboard warriors are directing their ire at its CEO, Steve Huffman. Thousands of moderators overseeing the site’s so-called subreddits are on strike. It’s a wrinkle in Reddit’s plan to go public, and a sign that plan is premature.

Which is why /u/jailbaitlover I mean /u/spez is sending the message that they would gladly give total power to whatever mod crosses the picket line so they can boot the rest.

If Reddit had to replace all these mods it would be complete chaos and is not much better than the blackout. They will see the same exact problems Twitter has seen since they fired most of their content moderators.

Ars spoke with community mods about where Reddit goes from here.

As it moves to shut down third-party apps, the site’s self-governing ethos comes back to haunt it

Pretty bad timing by them to do this when people are about to stop using reddit

Hi all, am I the only one in this case? Accounts with names such as "Background-Clerk6473", "Historical-View4819", "First_Solution_4156"...

Is there a general antispam bot that went online maybe?

Cheers

A lot of Reddit will go dark soon in protest of API changes

Just breaking the ice, that's all :-)
