I miss the old 4Chan gay operations, fueled entirely by autism, a healthy need for mischief and moms pizza pockets.

One of my favorite mostly unremembered ones was when people would post earthquake footage or similar things, just raiding the YouTube video threads and accusing them of faking it and saying things like "fuck off with this you're obviously just shaking the camera" and stuff like that.

I miss that dumb shit. Shame that won't ever happen on a clearnet chan ever again.

Are any darknet chans worth a fuck or is it all autist circlejerks and cp?

"Blah blah TOS you have to show ads in your app" I meant.

Its not so simple. How an ad is displayed is as important as what the app is. They run endless experiments to make sure they display the ad in the most effective way possible. Their customers buy x dollars of ad spend, and reddit tells them their ads get y impressions. Its very dicey when you're trusting a 3rd party with ads that might hide them, or have broken ad components.

The 3rd party apps were profiting off of reddit's backend with their own subscriptions and ads. Its as if facebook let 3rd party apps use their new feed

Aren't the sneaky "Featured post" advertisements the result of that? Just have them as a post in the return from the API?

At any rate, can't you just have a TOS or some legal mumbojumbo stipulating you need approval and ads must be X, Y, and Z?

I can hardly think of a more deserving subreddit. Bread and circus.

If anything this might revitalize reddit since trannyjannies - as can be seen in this thread, are the de facto reason a lot of subreddits died.

corpojannies won't go anywhere though, and they're worse than trannies.

There is ONE way it could have worked:

A permanent (none of this 2 days BS) strike of the majority of mods across Reddit. Without the volunteer libtard squad to keep SOME kind of lid on the insanity, Reddit would turn into 4chan in a matter of days, maybe hours, and the shit would actually hit the fan for admin.

Instead what happened was a low participation temporary 'strike' with about as much teeth in it as a melted gummy bear.

There is zero ways this could have worked because you need some form of leverage and jannies have none.

Another of my favorites was just going to random pet videos and accusing the poster of abusing the animal and claiming to have reported them to the ASPCA or something.

Before I begin I wanted to say I hate redditors and reddit more than anyone. Anyone else in this thread who thinks they hate reddit, they do not hate reddit in comparison to me. Compared to me, everyone in this thread is the biggest reddit soyjak. Your hate is like nothing compared to mine.

With that said I want to say I especially enjoy that these globohomo nigger cattle crying about globohomo corpos arbitrarily removing le problematique jannies, as if that's a new concept and not something reddit has been doing for years, airdropping in their favorite groomer tranny into subreddits deemed too untamed for their ESG goal.

I hope all subreddit remain closed, I hope all jannies kill themselves.

You do computer shit right? Here's a theory I had and I'd be interested in what you think.

One of the reasons that Reddit and it's mods are so unbelievably gay is that they are downstream of the day to day running of the site. I feel like the Internet would be a better place if people where forced to get into the weeds of running a forum or whatever outside of just moderation. Right now there's a small group of jannies that have massive amounts of control over any discussion but don't really have any real skin in the game.

Tech is always going to attract autistic loons but I feel like having full responsibility for a website might help broaden their horizons.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they have some leverage in the form of auto-moderation. A significant amount of moderation that is performed across Reddit is in the form of auto-moderation. These bots that are usually not managed by Reddit itself, and rather by private individuals like the mods of each subreddit. It would take a significant amount of time and money for Reddit itself to deploy their own moderation system. Because of that, there's a non-zero amount of leverage the jannies have over the Reddit admins. In addition, even though Reddit is full of degenerates vying for all positions of power over each other, the Reddit admins handing subreddit control over to new scab mods would not be an instant fix for them because it would take a decent amount of time to filter out the total egomaniacs from the barely functioning egomaniacs. idk I'm hoping the whole site burns, but that's just my two cents.

The so-called "powermods" don't even have anything to do with the subject of the subplebbit. They just think there's wrongthink there and so they try to take it over to fuck over the plebs. That's what literal worms these powermods are.

They shouldn't exist. They should be demodded.

Also they should be gassed irl.

I know we're all having a grand ol' time gravedancing here, but it is worth noting there is one area in which reddit shines: collating information on niche interests. Granted they did so by absorbing every other niche forum in existence, but the fact remains if you can keep your head down and avoid conversation with reddit's wet-brained denizens or its janny pinkshirts, reddit remains an excellent depository on information on everything from HoI4 mods to wood carving with a chainsaw. If you have anything you care about, don't trust removeeddit or the way back machine to make a copy for you, back it up yourself. Save the pages wholesale, save it in notepad docs if you have to. And if you feel you can stomach it, get information on the Discords and other places if you're attached to any of the smaller communities. I've seen the hammer drop before, and trust me, it comes down hard and fast and without warning at all.

The spigot of free VC money is down to a trickle and we're on the precipice of seeing what happens when websites not owned by the Silicon Valley tech duumvirate have to start hustling for some cheddar. Everything I just said goes double for any other seemingly unprofitable web services that were also coasting on VC money. If it's not saved on a hard drive you control, it exists on a foundation of sand. In an unusually tectonically active area.

3, maybe 2 years ago I'd have agreed. now? Even the Niche hobby subs/individual small topics etc subs are not only overrun with trannies and the mentally ill, but also product pushing and political shit, as well as the usual reddit shitheads that will try to psychoanalyze you for having a different opinion.

The few actual hobbyists left in these subs are often opinionated holier than thou know it alls and you'll never get a straight answer.

I quit using reddit for good about 4 months ago (I was only using it for hobby promo for the last 2-3 years) and one of the last things I did was ask a very specific question on a music group's subreddit. I had asked what relation an artist featuring on a song had to the original group, as in what was his connection, is he part of the label, etc.

I got 5 different replies. None of them addressed the topic remotely. 2 of them complained that I was talking about someone who had said "problematic things" 1 reply went off on a tangent about an unrelated artist, 1 Just said they were glad I liked the music and the final one just blabbered about how high they were. My experience for years in hobby subs has been this. The reality is that anyone with any sort of common sense, direction or a spine bounced the fuck out of reddit long ago and the whole site is a glorified instagram comments section

So many subs based on games I play all protested so I can't find some good drama spewing from it all. What a fucking disappointment to see that the games you play are filled with faggots of such magnitude. No one will miss Reddit, fuck that website, its the worst of all the websites right besides TVTropes as the current most pozzed website of the 21st century.

It's been interesting to observe Reddit devolve over the years. It's always been left-wing, but earlier on there seemed to be a certain free speech and libertarian element that allowed people to be more honest with their opinions. But then they had Elen Pao come in as the fall guy and ban a bunch of sub-reddits. Some of those such as the pedo sub-reddits like jailbait, I had no problem with. But when they banned fatpeoplehate in the same ban wave, I was extremely disappointed - that was my favourite sub-reddit and even some of my very left-wing friends used to love it.

The_Donald was also great. A most excellent source of Trump memes, but kind of understand Reddit eventually banning it. There seemed to be an overabundance of anti-Muslim posts that were going over the top. But then there would also be threads that would be more current year acceptable. When there was a post about Blair White the most upvoted comments were talking about how hot he is and they'd totally fuck him, while the comments disparaging him for being a tranny were getting heavily downvoted. On Martin Luther King Jr. day, there was also an influx of positive posts talking about how great he was.. Comments against him got heavily downvoted, but I saw redditors in other sub-reddits claiming The_Donald was freely calling him a nigger and completely against the day.

They're going to charge "reddit rent" after the IPO, aren't they?
I dislike Muslims.

That's only partly correct. There's the "AutoModerator", a bot by Reddit itself which mods use to moderate. They basically only set a few configurations and it performs automatic actions. Mods have no leverage here, because Reddit has all the configurations.

The second is that some/ most jannies have third party moderation tools which are more capable than AutoModerator and which Reddit don't control. But most of them relied on Pushshift, a third party database and indexing of reddit content. But around 1 or 2 months ago reddit banned Pushshift and it was shut down.

That's part of the reason for this "protest", because reddit deactivated their moderation tools.
