I feel you, but in the end it’s just garbage content to piss off reddit admins and execs. Personally, I’d rather get quality content from the fediverse now, but I can understand that some people want to burn that other place down.
Don’t be afraid. Nofans - short for - No onlyfans - meaning content of normal women not out to make money (there was a version for couples too)
Maybe someone should bring it back here somewhere.
Let’s be real if you want to gain popularity for your R****t alternative you just need porn and such (if you seperate the paid kind from the free link stuff you are golden and will grow fast sadly my knowledge on how to create such a place are limited in the programming department.
Bread stapled to trees is only going to allow four subjects moving forward on certain weeks, one of which is John Oliver, another being literal garbage, lol.
One of the legal advice subs – I can’t remember which – was going forward requiring post approval from mods because they value community safety. But as they are unpaid volunteers they estimate it could take up to 14 days for post approval.
The only thing that could have made it better would be if they added a “Moderators need to work much more inefficiently now due to having to use the official reddit app’s terrible UI”
Shitposting is funny because the auto mod they are using to remove posts cites removing the post in order to save bandwidth for Reddit. The auto mod post is much longer than post being removed and contains K’s. I found it funny anyway.
r/formula1 is reopening as NSFW to “comply to the fullest extent of our abilities with these changes”:
Formula 1 is inherently dangerous. Crashes and injuries are not uncommon - some even with fatal results. These incidents are discussed on r/formula1, and videos, images and other media are posted following these events.
Formula 1 includes messaging and sponsors that are connected to alcohol, tobacco and gambling - all of which are legislatively prohibited or age restricted in various locations. We cannot prevent these from being displayed to underaged users, as they are incorporated in general Formula 1 imagery and content.
Formula 1 is known for, both in the past and today, to include certain risque imagery that fall within the NSFW space.
Reddit’s User Agreement states that “Children under the age of 13 are not allowed to create an Account or otherwise use the Services.” - As such it stands to reason that persons under legal age participate in r/formula1.
Switching our classification means Reddit’s age verification shields underage users from being exposed to content considered harmful.
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.
I think that’s also because a lot of the people fed up with reddit just left at this point. So, it’s only those left, that don’t care as long as they get their memes.
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
I’ve also had friends say reddit is too toxic now. Well, yeah. Mods aren’t modding and the nicer people are over here. It’ll be interesting to see how much they recover. Clearly they knew this would cost them with their users, but hopefully it’s substantially more than they expected.
You just know that John Oliver is sitting at home right now laughing his ass off at the memes, and then screaming into a pillow because he can’t talk about it anywhere due to the writer’s strike.
The WGA started their strike at the beginning of May. SAG entered negotiations at the beginning of June but have authorized a vote to strike should negotiations not go their way. We’ll find out at the end of the month if SAG decides to strike.
@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.
What are the admins going to do? Moderate? If the moderators are approving NSFW posts, the sub is NSFW… Heck I’m not sure if they have to go that far. On r/cigars every single post is NSFW because cigars are Satan. Just do that to all the subs so every single post requires you to click to reveal the NSFW content. It’ll be like NSFW roulette. Heads, it’s a helpful guide to setting up a service on the cloud. Tails, it’s goatse.
The tobacco pipe subs are NSFW as well. This was forced on them a few years ago by the admins as they seem to have a big thing against tobacco, but subs for substances much more harmful, like cocaine, are not NSFW.
Throw in some random gore there for the nuclear option. NSFL is NSFW. And reddit never bothered to distinguish the two so let them down in yet more of their own poor decisions
Worse than that, Reddit banned all the NSFW subs from /all but DIDN’T ban the NSFL sub. So now instead of and unfiltered /all, with a mix of all the best everything, it’s now a curated collection of no porn and the occasional gore.
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??””
I feel you. Someone in another comment on here mentioned something along the lines of how clicking through a post on Reddit marked NSFW as part of the protest could be anything, like a wonderful guide to self hosting, ooorr it could be goatse…and I felt nostalgic reading that and remembering the days when that was a lot more common.
Then I felt it again reading the description of that video. So I’m right there with ya, fellow ‘damaged by the wild west internet days of old’ weirdo. ;)
I’m actually good at not going and looking at these things, so I end up out of the loop. Which decision I am 99.9% happy with lol. But a text description would not be amiss.
The real solution is to share links to Lemmy communities as replacements and just leave Reddit, turn off whatever auto moderation tools they have and just let the place burn, or maybe even worse be overly strict on moderation lol
I’ve been going over and upvoting all this shit I can before my Joey app stops working. I am easily amused, “Well that sucks” has had me laughing every time it pops up.
yeah same I went cold turkey off reddit for like 24 hours before I realised not going there was a big improvement. Real shame as once upon a time it was a great place to get unique perspectives on interesting issues. Will be missed.
Well the people providing unique perspectives to issues have probably moved. So we move with them. It’s not, like, reddit the platform was the one providing those perspectives.
It’s funny for about 10 minutes, then you realize it’s all John Oliver posts, and it might as well be a private sun again. It’s working. Lots of my subs are also paralyzed by reddit news and spez being an asshole, so there’s not top much going on for my subs, save for a select few, like some gardening ones. Haven’t found a replacement yet for those :(
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@beehaw.org
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
Glorious.
fucking lmao.
Thank you for the rundown! It almost makes me want to go back and take a look at the shit show… But tis a silly place and I shant be going back.
Trust me, the shit show is glorious. I even instinctively upvoted a couple of medieval memes but quickly realized what I was doing and closed the tab.
THAT’S what a rundown is!
I did, it was glorious!
/r/woodworking is debating going back to normal, or posting pictures of Norm Abrams and Nick Offerman. I’ll let you guess which one is winning.
Absolutely fucking glorious!
It makes me so happy seeing reddit come together against this bullshit
Thank you, nice compilation

It feels empowering to be part of a pissed off collective.
That should be a nice complement to r/onlyfans
…I’m afraid to ask what “nofans” used to be. I hadn’t heard of it before.
Don’t be afraid. Nofans - short for - No onlyfans - meaning content of normal women not out to make money (there was a version for couples too)

I need this, faith in humanity has been at a low ebb
I’d like to know more about the “determining close days” for some subreddits. Won’t they just open them back up?
I love to see the malicious compliance.
Some subs like r/fuckcars will be doing “touch grass Tuesday”, where the sub will be restricted every Tuesday.
I think r/HarryPotter is still polling the same idea. Which gets me wonder what if most of the popular subs decided to do this.
Absolutely amazing, what other subreddits are thinking to follow suite?
Bread stapled to trees is only going to allow four subjects moving forward on certain weeks, one of which is John Oliver, another being literal garbage, lol.

I think that was /r/scams. Their post was fantastic
Oh man. I wouldn’t want to anger a bunch of people who make it a hobby to fight scammers in a social psychology arms race.
It is like watching a slow train wreck. You know you should just look away, but you just cannot.
/r/Piracy also celebrated the fact that reddit officially endorsed them.
Shitposting is funny because the auto mod they are using to remove posts cites removing the post in order to save bandwidth for Reddit. The auto mod post is much longer than post being removed and contains K’s. I found it funny anyway.
r/formula1 is reopening as NSFW to “comply to the fullest extent of our abilities with these changes”:
Brilliant! Simply brilliant!
That’s absolutely fantastic lmao
What a bowl of fresh air.
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.
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
I think that’s also because a lot of the people fed up with reddit just left at this point. So, it’s only those left, that don’t care as long as they get their memes.
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
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
I’ve also had friends say reddit is too toxic now. Well, yeah. Mods aren’t modding and the nicer people are over here. It’ll be interesting to see how much they recover. Clearly they knew this would cost them with their users, but hopefully it’s substantially more than they expected.
Yep! Its technically reopening and it makes the spez simps mad. Honestly reddit deserves the worst.
You just know that John Oliver is sitting at home right now laughing his ass off at the memes, and then screaming into a pillow because he can’t talk about it anywhere due to the writer’s strike.
How’s the writer’s strike going anyways? Is there any updates about it?
There’s no end in sight.
No end in sight and SAG might be up next at the end of the month. They’re in negotiations right now.
jesus christ how long has this been going on for?
The WGA started their strike at the beginning of May. SAG entered negotiations at the beginning of June but have authorized a vote to strike should negotiations not go their way. We’ll find out at the end of the month if SAG decides to strike.
He laughed and then tweeted some more source material for them to run with. He’s loving this.
Made my day.
I’m visiting till my app stops working and that has given me a real chuckle!
Gotta give it to Redditors, they can be quite creative when it’s time to throw shit on the fan.
that typo, LOL.
"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
Holy shit that’s hilarious lmao
A Red Bull Formula 1 team themed Minecraft server?
(Christian Horner is the team principal for Red Bull Racing. And is also married to Geri “Ginger Spice” Halliwell).
r/Wellthatsucks is now a subreddit about vacuum cleaners.
I love it
Well well well, what a nice vacuum cleaner!
There’s some real r/MaliciousCompliance stuff going on and I love it.

Fuck. I didn’t have to be reminded of this. Lmao.
I miss 2002
Ridiculous, one day i logged into r/cigars, saw all the nsfw banners and had to do a double take on whether i was on the right sub
Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar…
The tobacco pipe subs are NSFW as well. This was forced on them a few years ago by the admins as they seem to have a big thing against tobacco, but subs for substances much more harmful, like cocaine, are not NSFW.
I just love that formula1 has used that logic as basis to declare themselves nsfw and thus not eligible for all or ads 🤣
Throw in some random gore there for the nuclear option. NSFL is NSFW. And reddit never bothered to distinguish the two so let them down in yet more of their own poor decisions
Worse than that, Reddit banned all the NSFW subs from /all but DIDN’T ban the NSFL sub. So now instead of and unfiltered /all, with a mix of all the best everything, it’s now a curated collection of no porn and the occasional gore.
That NSFW post on r/interestingasfuck has reached r/all lmfao
I think they just banned the mod from r/celebrity for turning the sub NSFW
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
On /r/interestingasfuck I just saw a woman with a speculum holding her ass open as someone else poured milk and cereal into it. Yes they ate it.
So that’s my day so far
Wow that’s a classic! I haven’t seen that video in the wild since the early internet!
There might be something wrong with me for that to be nostalgic…
Might be?
Oh there’s definitely stuff wrong with me, I just don’t know if this specifically is it
big mood
I feel you. Someone in another comment on here mentioned something along the lines of how clicking through a post on Reddit marked NSFW as part of the protest could be anything, like a wonderful guide to self hosting, ooorr it could be goatse…and I felt nostalgic reading that and remembering the days when that was a lot more common.

Is that what “2 girls 1 cup” was?
I’m actually good at not going and looking at these things, so I end up out of the loop. Which decision I am 99.9% happy with lol. But a text description would not be amiss.
Hehe no the cereal stuff is rather innocent compared to 2 girls 1 cup.
I was going to explain what 2 girls 1 cup was, then i thought better of it as it is better off not being explained
You know that now everyone is asking the link for a friend .
Upvoted even though I hate this comment
This has very strong “I’m not touching you!” energy and I’m all about it.
Reminds me of the Sherlock Holmes movie
W: “Remove that stick from my face”
SH: “It’s not in your face; it’s in my hand”
W: “Okay, remove what’s in your hand from my face”
This stuff is funny, but that’s the problem, Redditors love funny events like The Snap, and they love drama and controversy
You can see it’s not hurting Reddit at all maybe even helping them
https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/
The real solution is to share links to Lemmy communities as replacements and just leave Reddit, turn off whatever auto moderation tools they have and just let the place burn, or maybe even worse be overly strict on moderation lol
They permanently blocked me for sharing lemmy links before blackout. One more reason to do it, link aggregator not allowing links!
ngl, all this makes me want to go back to reddit
I’ve been going over and upvoting all this shit I can before my Joey app stops working. I am easily amused, “Well that sucks” has had me laughing every time it pops up.
Same, but I refuse to give them my traffic.
yeah same I went cold turkey off reddit for like 24 hours before I realised not going there was a big improvement. Real shame as once upon a time it was a great place to get unique perspectives on interesting issues. Will be missed.
I had a similar experience; Moved to Lemmy cold turkey and have only looked back to laugh
Well the people providing unique perspectives to issues have probably moved. So we move with them. It’s not, like, reddit the platform was the one providing those perspectives.
And specifically this is the way that Reddit will stagnate and die.
By pissing off it’s contributors and its whole community and them just cutting their losses and moving on.
It’s funny for about 10 minutes, then you realize it’s all John Oliver posts, and it might as well be a private sun again. It’s working. Lots of my subs are also paralyzed by reddit news and spez being an asshole, so there’s not top much going on for my subs, save for a select few, like some gardening ones. Haven’t found a replacement yet for those :(
Oh man there are tons of gardening communities on Lemmy, I saw them!
Oooh, any succulent specific ones? I’m king r/Succulents a lot…
Beehaw has a gardening sub. Contribute and spread the word!
yeah what’s it called now - green space? seems relatively active afaict
!greenspace at https://beehaw.org/c/greenspace
