Reddit admin doesn’t need an explanation, or justification. They’ll do it anyway.
In case you missed what happened to r/MildlyInteresting, Reddit has declared war on the mods.
I know, but I want them see justifying taking their mod privileges away because it has became an NSFW sub. It just sounds extremely rediculus to be doing that to a sub literally named "r/anime_titties"
That’s the thing they’re already stopped trying to justify. Why bother with that when you can lock a mod out of their mod account?
@zekiz if you read the modcoord message sent by admins, they argue that if users are used to seeing sfw there and suddenly see nsfw it's bad. Which could mean that a_t would not be complying with these guidelines I assume.
What happened to r/MildlyInteresting? Haven't opened Reddit since June 12th
They're removing more mods for staying dark or malicious compliance shenanigans. Whatever is left after this will be shells and shills.
Maybe they will replace the volunteer mods with people who get paid for their labor.
/s
Legit that would depend on how cheap the labor was and how long they need to pay them. Like shitty pay outsource labor to keep up appearances for a week or two could be a thing.
The plan could be to get IPO then dump stock before anyone realizes the entire mod team depends on Google translate.
They forcibly removed (and banned, at least in some cases) the mods. It's really wild.
They are free to cut off their nose to spite their own face
Reddit admins aren't even pretending to try to explain their decisions. The gloves have come off and they don't care about justifying their actions to the mod communities they're wiping. It's a matter of time until every subreddit has either fallen in line or been 'reset' unfortunately.
This is the kind of action that sways the rational folks who were indifferent. Those folks make for decent discussion, and I preemptively welcome them.
The admins pay their rent doing what the execs tell them to do. Much as I would like for a system where the moderators also got compensated for their work, not being so lends them independence from the platform, and allows them to be more responsive to their communities.
I get why some of the admins are doing it, but “just following orders” has never been a good look.
Sorry for using your comment as a springboard to soapbox. >_>
So the original Anime_titties was not actually for posting pics of anime titties??
The mod team on r/worldpolitics didn't want to moderate properly and so folks tries to post anime pics and eventually the sub became dedicated to anime.
As part of the joke those folks also made r/anime_titties which ended up becoming the moderated sub to talk about world politics.
I really hope the real anime_titties community comes here, some of the best non-eurocentric news without focusing overmuch on one country or region.
100 years from now .... Anime Titties is the defacto source for world news
Oh, thank you for this! It was nice having a news source about literally any other country than mine, and I was sad to see one of my few actually useful subs go down the drain
Can you explain how I would subscribe to them on kbin?
As you see there, their "home" address is https://lemmy.world/c/anime_titties/. That gives them a wider fediverse "address" of [email protected].
Plug that into the correct format URL on your home site - as a kbin.social user, that would be https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] - and from there you subscribe as normal.
Thank you for breaking it down the way you did. It’s the first time I’ve been able to build/read the urls/addresses where it actually makes sense to me.
It’s felt like everyone was saying “the bathroom is to the left” to me in Spanish, but I don’t speak Spanish. You just pulled out Google translate for me lol.
I was subbed there too. It's actually a pretty good news subreddit.
lurker reporting for duty
Amazing! A great piece of history. Glad they are moving to discord and Lemmy now!
Ahhh, just like /r/trees and /r/marijuanaenthusiasts! That’s fun.
And r/JohnCena and r/potatosalad, and similar to r/superbowl (actually about superb owls)
Nope. It was a sub to talk about geopolitical news. Not a joke. That's actually what the sub was about.
That's one of those little things that I really will miss about reddit. Same deal with /r/trees and /r/marijuanaenthusiasts. Guess which one was for the arborists.
Those guys were always super cool about it on both sides though, lol. People would post questions about actual trees on /r/trees and a horde of friendly stoners would point them towards the other sub. You'd think you were just being fucked with until you actually went there, and lo, dendrology.
I mean, they aren't going to feel the need to explain themselves, but I suspect that this will make for quite the New York Times article.
Yes. That's what I'm talking about. It would just sound so funny. I can already see the headline "Reddit banns r/Anime_Titties Moderator for allowing anime titties"
What is funny is that tits itself aren't even pornographic so you technically don't even have to "warn" anyone.
A pretty common convention on Reddit, started by, if I recall correctly, /r/earthporn, is that many major subreddits, like /r/foodporn and such, devoted to non-pornographic images end in "-porn", where "-porn" just means "attractive image". If you're going to be browsing images on Reddit during work hours and the issue that your boss is going to have is with you browsing a non-pornographic site that has a pornographic name, you're probably in for some explaining anyway.
EDIT: Oh, if you mean that you're objecting to tits in general being on the sub rather than reading news on /r/anime_titties, disregard.
The time has come to end the -porn suffix.
If you're setting up a new community go with -pics.
I just set up a community for fuzzy baby animal pics called "FurryPorn." No pics yet, but I'm sure there will be some soon.
Yeah, those URLs are being logged somewhere. If they really care, somebody would've already asked for an explanation.
Well, if they have local software on your computer or you're going through a SOCKS proxy or they have their own CA root inserted on your work computer and so can monitor any of your TLS communications, yeah.
But normally you're talking to Reddit over TLS, so all that's exposed to the network in plaintext is the domain, reddit.com -- that's exchanged in the handshake in plaintext to facilitate virtual hosts, where multiple websites live on one server. It doesn't expose the path to the file requested to the network in plaintext, which is where the subreddit name is.
I would guess that he's more worried about his manager walking by his desk.
I wish I'd known about this subreddit when I reddited.
I would see it around, I just thought it was about...well, you know...
I don't wanna give reddit unnecessary views. What's the Lemmy community they link in the post?
Dear r/anime_titties community,
As many of you are aware, we recently held a poll to detrimine the future of this sub in light of Reddit asking to reopen. While most of you voted in favor of making this sub for actual anime titties, the original post was not a traditional poll post but instead a restricted post where the vote was decided by two comments, one for literal anime titties and one for returning things back to normal. And since the return to normal comment was hidden due to negligence on my part where I replied to myself instead of making two separate comment threads, it made for a really lopsided vote. I offer my apologies for this. Since the sub was under restricted mode for a bit and I was enjoying the glee of the moment, I didn't stop to think about whether or not the voting system was fair. You all can get mad at me for this since I deserve it. And now we are going to attempt an actual poll post with the two options and third option of returning to geopolitics and world news but marking it nsfw to reduce avenues for Reddit to get ad money. The poll ends in 48 hours so make sure to vote
