Please, people. Be reasonable and considerate of Reddit's need to make money. It is, afterall, spez's main focus.

Just have it reply to every comment with the What did you say to me/Navy Seal copypasta.

What's up with people posting screenshots of text here? Are these screenshots of things random no name redditors are saying on reddit? Are these pictures of posts that are getting tons of upvotes or significant in any sort of way?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's highlighting a fun new way mods are protesting without being shut down.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If this was a way mods would actually protest, wouldn't it make sense to say who is saying it? They removed all attribution, all indication of votes, or any example of a subreddit actually doing it. Maybe I'm jaded from my many years on reddit, but I always get suspicious when I see a post like this that it could be a fake post or something.

With that said, if moderators actually did set their subs, like /r/aww to nsfw, that would be pretty funny.

Have you taken a look at /r/interestingasfuck lately? Only site wide rules now lol.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

People just don't want to link directly to the site. I know I'm still boycotting as much as possible, I've only gone back to post a link to a kbin guide. Also, what is a no-name redditor? Would you take this more seriously if someone else had said it?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

Not wanting to link to reddit makes sense.

Though I would say, I would take something more seriously if a Reddit admin or a mod from a dozen subreddits said it. That would add lot more significance to a post like this.

I think part of it is to continue that interest in the old site .... some of these posts are really suspicious in the way they keep wanting to drive people back to interact with the old site in one way or another - malicious or not, it's still driving traffic there

I gave up cold turkey ... I dumped the site, the app, all my accounts (I had four) and just stopped looking into the site or doing anything there

The best thing to do with social media sites you don't like is to just stop interacting with them ... completely.

I'm active now on kbin and lemmy ... I'll keep all my activity on these media sites from now on ... I'm not wasting my energy on the old dumpster fire.

Same here. I walked away from Reddit and, while I understand that people are going through an adjustment, the obsession with monitoring Reddit from here and constantly talking about it is a little weird. I do think some of the creative things mods are doing is funny, though, so maybe I'm part of the problem.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I'm guessing its because they were used to doing that on reddit

[–] Contextual_Idiot 1 points 2 years ago

I posted it this way because that's how I found the image, no idea what sub it came from.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, it’s strange.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

i can’t believe people here are actually falling for this being a serious post vs the β€œyou shouldn’t be doing this because it hurts reddit wink wink nudge nudge” that it actually is.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

i can’t believe people here are actually falling for this being a serious post

These people probably stopped reading before the last sentence, lol

Did you drop this? --> /s

Or are you looking for instructions? Here:

Step 1: Go to Reddit.

Step 2: Make a sailor blush.

Larboard Oaks Mansion ghost tour. On the adult tour after 10pm, we can say whatever the hell we want.

Now I'm sorry I nuked my accounts. Sadly, creating a new account would just drive up Reddit adoption numbers and support the IPO.

me running PDS on my account to edit all of my past comments and posts to a long paragraph of very advertiser friendly words:

This makes me think of a certain Blink 182 song.

Any of these fuckers ever pop out of the walls and do like a huge cumshot?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Not that I'm on reddit side but what about advertising companies start moderating their ads? I mean they often literally profit from scams
