On the topic of reddit, has anyone noticed that most people are so fucking stupid and their post would be easily solved with a fucking google query or Google Lens? Like, "bug with weird nose" instantly turns up weevil, very common on the whatsthisbug sub, or people provide a picture of a bug with "who is my new friend" and it's a motherfucking bed bug. Redditors (I mean the general invested community and not Joe Normal who has an account, lightly browses some special interest subs but doesn't know what goes on with the site) never go outside and have no perspective and can't do anything for themselves.
Then half of the replies are recycled jokes that were never funny and never needed to be said, but most humans do little more than just make noises anyway.
That's why reddit protests are so ineffective like this. Redditors are faggots that emulate what they see from the people around them, and their protests are basically modeled after lunchroom sit-ins from the civil rights era because "dur that's how protesting is done its in the history book!" instead of thinking of an actual strategic way to get what they want.
They're pointing to a "conflict of interest" between "maximising ad revenue" and "user safety and community integrity". Unsurprisingly yes there is a conflict of interest between "let's spam our subreddit with porn to fuck reddit's ad revenue" and the continued operation of reddit, and they're being treated accordingly (I have no idea where "user safety" comes in).
Who could have guessed that the admins would flat out say "If you don't reopen the subreddit or reopen the subreddit and make it NSFW, you'll be removed as mods"?
I think it's important to note, and it hasn't really been discussed here, that for years the admins would respond to complaints about mods like awkwardtheturtle, Bardfinn, and Merari01 among others, "make your own sub" "subs are owned and run by the moderators," etc etc. The admins give no crap about power mods per se. They love 'em, they just want them perfectly obedient.
Let me get your almonds activated--can you name any local city subreddit anywhere with a conservative bent? Any at all that's not an offshoot? Why do you think that is? How the FUCK do you think that statistical anomaly happened?
For those of you who have no clue who we're talking about /u/freespeechwarrior was a mod for r/WatchRedditDie or some other anti-censorship subreddit that sold out to the admins in order to keep his subreddits open. Everyone in those subreddits told him he was a retarded faggot for doing so but he trusted the admins and then got assblasted out of his mod position and eventually joined the Farms. This is why Harbinger of the Kali Yuga, aka freespeechwarrior, posts so many autistic screeds about how evil the admins of Reddit are.
Seriously dude, this shit happened like 5 years ago, let it fucking go and stop being an autistic faggot on yet another message board.
I think you should use google to find out who freespeechwarrior
actually was before making yourself look like a big thread-derailing faggot. Not everyone who thinks the reddit admins are huge faggots is /u/freespeechwarrior you idiot. Funny how I was just talking about how redditors don't google. I'll let everyone else look it up and realize how bad your autism is.
