Ah, memories! Getting baited into looking at goatse was the quintessential Web 1.0 Rite of Passage

Goatse's an old friend now.
I'll take a pervert with an immaculate stretch armstrong anus over a child killer with an unremarkable one. Or an amhole.

You can't delete comments if the sub is locked, so the powermods are stopping this from happening. All the "I'm a-gonna leave Reddit forevah" drama queens will find all their posts are back once new mods are in place.
Someone is requesting ownership of r/science, I hope it happens.

the meatspin song was playing on the radio at work, I couldn't get the image out of my head until the song ended.

I wanted reddit communities to be deleted but I guess this will do.

I went looking for my first goatse cause I was too late to internet culture and I saw people online talking bout goatse as this glorious shock thing. Ended up finding it somewhere online along with meatspin and lemonparty as well, I think it was ED.

You know, it would be pretty funny if the Reddit admins basically used the reddark website to find which communities participated in the blackout, delete the subreddits and force the niggercattle into a more centralized community. I would pay for spez to do that.

...couldn't they just check the server logs of communities that went private over a certain period of time?

Again, the people so delusional that they actually think that they have any semblance of "power" or control over pReddit is laughable. They're still living under the illusion that they can keep "their" subreddits dark and do as they wish. Were these people not around for Geocities, Friendster, or MySpace? How did "their" websites end up working out for them at these places? As I said in a previous post, I can't wait for the pReddit powers that be to go full mask-off and drop any sense of user control and forcibly open the subreddits with jannies of their choosing.
And they caught a bunch of shit over it at the time too
I think that's because Twitter is more of a "community space" where anyone can comment on anything out in the open, whereas pReddit is more segregated into their subreddits.
"Is that FAMAS functional?"
I wouldn't go that far...Those autistic fucks were the ones who dragged a grieving family through the wringer over the Boston Marathon bombing incident.
And they caught a bunch of shit over it at the time too
That wouldn't be surprising at all. Just like YouTube and other enterprises, catering to the big conglomerates over the "little guy" is a win-win in their eyes. The corpos have a built-in advertising base, and pReddit can wash their hands of potentially problematic Tranny-jannies. Louis Rossmann already pointed to this in a previous video or two about Samsung or whoever astroturfing and deleting posts on a subreddit that they control. The sooner that everyone realizes that the end goal of every single corporation is money, and they only see people as a bothersome cash cow to milk for as much as possible, the better off that everyone will be. When you aren't paying for something, you *ARE* the product.

I barely even realized there was a blackout. I get this feeling that most of the older users have already left the site and active users now don't use the third party clients.

Actually letting the users vote to shoah unpopular jannies would actually be better from a user perspective.
Those shitheads seem to labor under the delusion that people actually like being shat on by these freaks.

Reddit now has a big banner that points to this page:
it seems their original statements are holding true that they were willing to negotiate for mod bots, and will have done so irregardless of the protests

This effete way of cutting off API access to 3rd party clients is the most Reddit shit that Reddit could have done. Spez is a faggot.

I first saw goatse (and many other "classic" images) sprayed on the walls in Counter-Strike. Ah, memories.
I only ever heard the Paris Hilton one. "I LOVE GAY PORN." Thank fuck I was at home when that one played.

it's also hilariously stupid because I think spez is trying to be nice in his weird way - the proper thing to do would have been to add an API fee that was very low and keep raising it and boil the frog.
Also what the fuck are these moderators doing that they need tools that do more than 100 API calls a minute? Seriously moderating is looking at a post and deciding if you delete or ban the user

The part that fucked me up the most was having to chase the box around the screen attempting to close it as that shit blared through the speakers.
Good times.
Looking back on the "wild west" era of the internet, it's pretty disheartening watch it turn into a sanitized and homogenized blob. Used to, it was very much within the realm of possibilities to accidentally stumble upon beheading videos, brutal vehicle accidents and shock sites. I feel like millenials grew up fast being raised with the internet in such a state.
