Pretty sure all the tumblr users went to Twitter after they banned coom material. Reddit was full of degens all around before Tumblr even banned anything. Taking all the tumblr users out would not improve things.

The Tumblr exodus went several directions. Artists went to Newgrounds. Most politispergs went to Twitter. The dipshit crowd went to Pillowfort.

It's more accurate to compare this shit to the NeoGAF exodus. Nobody wants Reddit's castoffs.

What's the chance some come here, even though we're on Tor?

Effectively nil. Any that wound up here would have to be pretty thick-skinned in order to deal with the amount of coarse language and lack of political correctness we fire off, and assuming that didn't scare them off, they probably were never really fully Redditors in the first place. From there it would be inevitable that they would either sperg out eventually or succumb and become shitlords like us through infectious retardation.
The bigger risk is the prosect of a massive number of them colonizing some website that otherwise didn't have the defenses in place. This site does.
 
If you choose to neglect your estrogen treatments or not stan niggers hard enough, then you can expect your mod status to be revoked.
Pray the Reddit GODS don't permanently ban you or take away your updoots in the process of purging disloyal dogs like yourself.

Lol, so your saying that Something Awful now has a chance? They already had their infectious retardation already take root and rot the place out.

I mean you're probably right, still, if even 100 sign up, that's a fuck ton of soyjacks to weed out. On the plus side, it will make the site way more active and funny

Moderation Bots & Tooling​

1686756675524.png Reddit Help

Moderators have created custom tools to help operate their communities using browser add-ons, custom scripts, and other tooling that uses the Reddit Data API. Our API allows free access to moderators and developers creating these tools for non-commercial use cases.

As of July 1, 2023, we are increasing the API limits for our free API usage from 60 to 100 Queries Per Minute for those using OAuth authentication. Please see our Reddit Data API Wiki for more details about our legacy API resources, usage, and rate limits.

The vast majority of moderator bots and other tooling using our Data API will fall into the free API tier. If you have a bot that is going over these rate limits, is broken, or is otherwise impacted by updates related to the API, please contact our team. We are committed to working with you to find a solution for your moderator tooling.

Developers looking to port over an existing moderation bot or tool to Reddit’s Developer Platform will be granted immediate access. Please contact the Developer Platform team to request access. Please indicate that you are in need of tool porting assistance in your message.

I hope this means that Pushshift is unbanned and that reveddit/unddit will work again.

They're still charging for API usage for third party apps. It sucks that jannies get free API usage to ruin the site while normal users can't use an app with a decent interface.

Redditors are mad:

If it gets too heated they'll do what they did last time with that Chinese woman:
1. Fire spez + generous severance package.
2. Put in a new guy.
3. Blame everything on spez.
4. Promise a lot.
5. Deliver nothing.

reddit niggercattle will be placated.

Predditors are too addicted to the platform to do any significant harm to it. Just wait how this topic will become irrelevant to everyone after just a week later.
 
I'm looking forward to the api changes. I expect it will largely be business as usual, but with everyone hating the old mods that had their hissy fit
 
Couple of funny things - the admin of OpenSource didn't go dark and correctly said it was because shutting down the entire sub is technically violating Reddit's TOS. People in comments calling him a "scab", but he's right. A bunch of the subs that are still closed indefinitely only had polls for the 48-hour shutdown, I predict some mod overthrowing when they return.

AdWeek article that's behind a paywall but I was able to get the good part:

On one hand, fuck Reddit.
On the other hand, we tried to warn people that anyone with power can destroy their online community in an instant.

I don't want redditors here, but hopefully this scares people into taking Join or Die seriously.
 
"Reddit is a private company and they do whatever they want, bigot"
*reddit replaces janny trannies from big subreddits with megashills*
"WTF?! THAT'S LIKE NAZISM OR SOMETHING. I'M PROOTESTING!"

The other absolutely stupid thing they don't realize is that companies are dumb as fuck, but they DO react.

And now reddit the company realizes that "holyshit, powermods can just privatize or delete massive portions of our business".

I'mma say it now - within the year the private/delete functions will only work with admin approval, or with all mods approving, or something similar.

When you reveal a power move, expect it to be permanently countered.

This is not the first time this has happened. There's been two blackout protests before, the time they fired the AMA woman (which is when the admin-powerjanny relationship really took off) and the Aimee Challenor protests (larger scale, and when they really upped their game with forcibly adding powerjanny presence into many subreddits, to disrupt further protests).

I think Spez's leaked memo sums up their attitude - "let them have their two day tantrum and then we can carry on" - but as this was their usurping force doing much of the tantrum throwing they're probably more clued in to needing to groom some powerjanny replacements. The ultimate outcome - that they've effectively shut down all third party apps and can force everyone onto their official app for advertising revenue - is what they wanted, letting the powerjannies have their mod tool API access is such a minor concession that they probably don't care.

Letting the jannies have their private subreddit button stay put doesn't cost anything, as they've already demonstrated they can just reopen subreddits and neuter mods while supplanting them with chosen kool-aid drinkers who do as they're told. It's a pressure valve and they know if they take it away, it'll just cause more powerjanny meltdowns. Where mods already don't all agree, they've been able to go to ModSupport to forcibly reopen subs. Where mods do all agree, and it's some sort of subreddit that the admin team actually care about, it just gets reopened with a new mod team.

Speaking of which, the related thread in ModSupport is very funny because there's mods getting mad at "scabs" or with absolute brainrot and in denial.

(I also like their argument of "if you don't like the moderation, just make your own community", because that's what Null did and then they spent so much time and money trying to crush this site)
