reddit General

The idea of flooding a forum with child porn is an interesting one.
In order to post cp, don't you have to have cp?
Isn't having cp considered to be a bad thing?
Isn't distributing cp considered to be a bad thing?
Perhaps I need more coffee for this.
I mean, the FBI don't seem to have any moral qualms about doing it to catch pedos so why should anyone have a problem with people doing it for the even more righteous and important goal of shutting down a subreddit that makes fun of fat people?
 
So....this Seb guy who seems to be organizing a lot of this. I've encountered this username before out in the internet wilds. Years and years ago, back at an old Web 1.0 game called Utopia and it's Politics subforum. That Seb was an insufferable liberal then too. And British.

Quick glance at their legacy discussion forum www.utopiaforums.com and looks like he still posts there too. I wonder if they are same person? If they are that is a good two decades worth of content to go through and build a profile on the guy.
Having looked around for a bit I don't think they're the same person. The Seb on utopiaforums doesn't like Trump, and defends kids wanting to be called different pronouns but the guy regularly gets called a faggot/tranny lover/other combinations of slurs and I don't think the reddit jannie Seb would have thick enough skin to put up with that.
 
So they formed a union but nobody thought about tying to actually get paid?
A lot of unionization grumbling in tech nowadays is not based on trying to get better pay/benefits, but in trying to organize against management's efforts to disrupt activist employees bringing their partisan politics and woke religion to the office. In this context the jannies aren't really interested in being paid, but they do want the ability to force administrators to engage in viewpoint discrimination at their behest.
 
Not in the US IIRC. Canada it is for sure cause truckers keep getting caught with it coming from the US.

From the many misadventures of Shadman I know that in the US, so long as it's not portraying someone who actually exists, like a child actor, or a character a child model resembles, it's not classified as genuine CP.

then again I don't fuck kids moderate reddit so what do I know?
It still depends on the state really.

Lolicon in the US isn't illegal, but it's definitely a gateway into CP and I'm sure law enforcement takes a good look at these sites that host lolicon.
 
but is rdrama.net meant to be the main place everyone migrated to? Is the trans ideology in both places genuinely sincere or just taking the piss?
It's a site created for just the r/drama comunity, and it's mostly taking the piss but the thing about r/drama is they take the piss at anyone taking anything seriously in the internet (which is the meme of "radical centrism"), so while of course making fun of the trains they will make fun of anyone being seriously mad at trans stuff also. I've seem them calling themselves a "4chan retirement zone" and it's basically that vibe, I'd say kinda like KF where everyone is allowed their own opinions but generally taking the piss on anyone acting dramatic.

Most of the subreddits r/drama users create are created to make fun of something that makes lots of people heated, so "Love for Landlords" because libs/tankies think anyone that rents their place for someone else is satan and "trans parent with trans kid" to make the "they're transing kids!" crowd super mad. It's mostly trolling and making fun of anyone Mad at the Internet.

When they took ping away r/drama was over. Though, Love for Landlords is still great.
 
I'm a reddit janny and I'm not trans.
It's just a matter of time. Does Amazon now auto-ship programmer socks to your location? Does Google Maps now call-out all of the gender reassignment places when you pass them? Are you confused into which bathroom you should go in at Target?

The reddit jannie to troon pipeline is real.
 
Remember in the mid-2000s when Reddit was Libertarian-leaning and had a hard-on for Ron Paul... WTF happened? I refuse to believe it was just Tumblr.
Well

One of the founders was suicided by the CIA after they failed to get the Wikileaks dude. The other founders cucked to the corporate elite. The first big push was thwarted by the users revolted against PAO. When that failed the site was gradually astroturfed into the left via slow mod replacement and opinion control.

Trump was the nail in the coffin for reddit because that's when all the default subreddits became cancer and set the tone. 4 years of that resulted in nothing but right wings and libertarians fucking off the platform and gradually turning it into what it is now.

To begin with, the site is no longer a niche site for programming nerds, but instead a mainstream social media site. I'd also put a fair bit of blame on the site's changing direction on /r/shitredditsays, who started the phenomenon of going to the media to get smear pieces written about any subreddit they found particularly cringe (and since SRS was entirely bitter cat ladies and proto-troons, that included a lot of rote political opposition instead of objectively questionable shit like /r/jailbait), to the point that Conde Nast had to come in and tell the admins to clean up the site's reputation, which led to the whole saga of Ellen Pao's time as CEO.

I still believe Pao was the designated fall guy for some of Reddit's more onerous policies. It certainly bought the admins a few months of goodwill where they could enforce their will while everyone looked away.

I mean she got the job just because Yishan really liked her BJ game, was completely unqualified and knew nothing about the site (didn't know she couldn't link other users to her PMs, for example), and any and all criticism of her was refuted with "oppressed female in tech" nonsense, so duh she was absolutely the fall guy.
