Reddit apparently has a sitewide ban for all .ru domains and bans certain newspapers:

I was reading one of the female forums and they said if you tried to post anything recorded yourself to the main kpop reddit sub or the main subs of the kpop groups, it would be deleted with actual reason for the deletion given "Un-Official footage of the event is not allowed"

Which obviously means the entire kpop industry controls the subs. They are the officially licensed english forums.

Angry mod.

Someone should tell him that dying with no family because your kid succumbed to Reddit propaganda is not the same thing as dying with no family because you've spent your life cooming into assholes and anime pillows instead of cunts.

 

[AnOminous]

But what sort of ANY purpose does a pReddit "digital avatar" have?!

It's like those gay back pocket hankies. It identifies you as a pedophile to other pedophiles who might wish to share CP with you.

Damn! He sure got us!
...in some parallel universe where your family leaves you for being a chud instead of being a sweaty no life loser glued to his phone at all times incase the big bad nazis try to take over r/shittinginadiaper.
This nigger will never have kids. His "girlfriend" and an actual nigger will.

He's right though. We should protect trans kids. We should protect them from the social media groomers and the psych-industrial complex who want to irreparably harm them.

You are either a tranny or worse, a tranny chaser. I can smell the cheeto dust from here "waste of oxygen" that probably still thinks Mass Effect Andromeda was a good game. Now go hump your body pillow, it's the only action you'll get.

To take a break from the jannie sperging.



I'm so glad that this is clearly fantasy because the chances of an average porncuck actually impregnating a woman is impossible.

I'd like to go back to the jannie sperging now.

Spammers have figured out that they can use mod mail to send scam messages. They all link to something called goolnk, and I'm not clicking on that, tbqh. I'm just happy that mod queues of powermods will now be stuffed full with "Hello, sir, sir!" tier messages in these trying times for jannies.

 

[PointOfNoReturnPoint]

So, what has happened overall with the protest? where is everything at now. I figured they gave up but has it just been a nothingburger?

At least Ill die naturally, with my dick attached, and not filled with troon juice and a open axewound with a bullet through my head.

Someone disagreed with me, OH NOOOO.

New Rossmann video.

(Invidious archive, ghostarchive can't archive for some reason)
The Dearrow extension title for this video is "Reddit Is Restoring User Submissions Against Their Will". He cites this video:

(ghostarchive, Invidious archive)
He also brings up later in the video how u/spez / Steve Huffman has edited people's comments and never marked that they were edited. So I'm really not surprised he's gone so far as to undelete people's posts entirely too.

Lol, lmao even.

The California law says they only need to delete stuff that could be linked to you. So presumably they just replace your userID with [Deleted] and they're good unless you did something like post your address or other PII in your comments. I believe the requirement for GDPR is similar.

Edit: PII Personally Identifiable Information. I forget not everyone has to take those courses every few months at their job.

I saw a suggestion years ago on an sa-offshoot as a suggestion to make sa great again, I wonder if it would help reddit, it wouldn't fix things but maybe help:

Mods do all official modding duties using an account like "PoliticsSubMod#3".

Their regular reddit account has no power, will not be listed in any mod list and as a mod they're not allowed to mention their normal account name and vice versa. Break up some favoritism cliques a bit, dehumanize the on-duty mod, make them see themselves more of a "cog", more replaceable by a script.

it's kinda similar to 4cuckz jannying though.
if anything exposing the mod more often without allowing for alt accounts is the way, forcing the nigger to give a sound reason whenever he janny something is even heavier which keeps the craze away although it can help schizos build their own hate against certain jannies, especially in a corporate-enforced space, the farms has good jannying because dear feeder goes through the vetting process for a """small""" community.

 

[ZipDisk]

This is the first I've heard of a site Un-shredding comments. Usually if you do that, they just ban your account and are done with it. Instead, Reddit is just restoring whatever you shred.

Reminds me of Metafilter when Cortex absolutely lost his shit when a tran wanted their comments removed, not just their account deleted.

Cortex eventually sold the site to flee the communists.

Pretty much found out when admins started forcing subreddits open and booting jannies who fucked around. Other subreddits followed suit and slowly un-privated. Some of them still try to protest by posting John Oliver pictures, for some reason.

I suppose the shredding isn't part of their official data management policy and so they're feeling able to act with impunity here. The answer would be the aforementioned GDPR DSAR + right to be forgotten forcing their hand to actually remove these comments.

Speaking of which, /r/pics has released an updated statement and message to the admins along the lines of tee-hee-hee if you're blaspheming you need to tag it NSFW

On The State of /r/PICS: Profanity, Offensive Content, and An Open Letter
Hello yet again, /r/PICS!
Things have never looked better (or sexier) here, have they? Honestly, the moderation team was a bit skeptical about only allowing media featuring John Oliver… but that’s what you voted for, and we have to admit that you were right to do so!
Unfortunately, it turns out that we overlooked a small problem.
According to Reddit’s policies, “content that contains nudity, pornography, or profanity […] should be tagged as NSFW.” While we did ask the community to tag anything even remotely NSFW, we’ve nonetheless seen a lot of swearing in non-NSFW threads. Since Reddit has officially stated that we are expected to “ensure people have predictable experiences on Reddit by properly labeling content […] that is graphic, sexually-explicit [sic], or offensive,” this democratic approach to tagging is putting the community in jeopardy. Additionally, since a distressingly large number of people have expressed that they are offended by the sight of John Oliver, we are forced to conclude that media featuring the man is regarded by some as “offensive.”
Now, we really, really don’t want to mark /r/PICS as being NSFW. Doing so would mean that we were no longer discoverable, that we would no longer show up in Reddit’s main feeds, and that millions of people would be deprived of John Oliver’s presence on their screens. It would also have the effect of keeping Reddit from showing advertisements alongside our posts, which we feel would be unfair. (After all, Reddit generously hosts our little community, and we’d hate to adversely affect them by making an immediate, detrimental change to that arrangement.) However, unless things here change, we may have no choice.
We therefore have two simple requests for you:

• Please do not use any (a NSFW link follows this parenthetical) profanity in non-NSFW threads.
• If you post anything that could possibly offend anyone, please tag it as being NSFW.

As we do not have time to put this to a vote (since Reddit is moving very quickly against communities that it deems to be problematic), we are pleading for all of /r/PICS to behave in a responsible manner. The continued inclusion of profanity or offensive content in non-NSFW threads will leave us with no option but to mark the entire subreddit as NSFW, which – as previously stated – we do not want to do.
Before we sign off, we want to address some potential concerns:
Q: Will making /r/PICS a NSFW subreddit result in the moderators being removed?
A: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Moderators were removed from communities that were “encouraging sexually explicit content,” and some were threatened with removal if they “incorrectly” marked communities as NSFW “as a form of protest.” /r/PICS has always mandated against pornography (and that will remain unchanged), but has allowed tasteful nudity, profanity, and content that might be defined as “offensive.” Therefore, /r/PICS will not be made NSFW as a form of protest: Any such change will be enacted in order to comply with Reddit’s policies. If Reddit were to remove moderators from /r/PICS, that action would go against their own publicly affirmed guidelines.
Q: Wait, is /r/PICS NSFW right now?
A: No. We're just asking that if you have to post something NSFW, please tag it appropriately. Do not post pornography – that rule is unchanged – but ask yourself if you're offering either profanity or anything that could be construed as “offensive” by anyone.
Q: Can we still post media featuring John Oliver?
A: Yes. However, again, please tag all submissions – be they posts or comments – appropriately.
Q: Do you – the moderators – have anything that you’d like to say directly to Reddit’s administrators?
A: What an amazingly prescient question! Yes, in fact, we do have something to say. We’ll include it as a comment!
That’s all for now, folks! Thank you for making /r/PICS and Reddit great!

As promised, here’s what the /r/PICS moderators would like to say to Reddit’s administrators:

Forging A Return to Productive Conversation

To All Whom It May Concern:

For fifteen years, /r/Pics has been one of Reddit’s most-popular communities. That time hasn’t been without its difficulties, but for the most part, we’ve all gotten along (with each other and with administrators). Members of our team fondly remember Moderator Roadshows, visits to Reddit’s headquarters, Reddit Secret Santa, April Fools’ Day events, regional meetups, and many more uplifting moments. We’ve watched this platform grow by leaps and bounds, and although we haven’t been completely happy about every change that we’ve witnessed, we’ve always done our best to work with Reddit at finding ways to adapt, compromise, and move forward.
This process has occasionally been preceded by some exceptionally public debate, however.

On June 12th, 2023, /r/Pics joined thousands of other subreddits in protesting the planned changes to Reddit’s API; changes which – despite being immediately evident to only a minority of Redditors – threatened to worsen the site for everyone. By June 16th, 2023, that demonstration had evolved to represent a wider (and growing) array of concerns, many of which arose in response to Reddit’s statements to journalists. Today (June 26th, 2023), we are hopeful that users and administrators alike can make a return to the productive dialogue that has served us in the past.

We acknowledge that Reddit has placed itself in a situation that makes adjusting its current API roadmap impossible.
However, we have the following requests:

• Commit to exploring ways by which third-party applications can make an affordable return.
• Commit to providing moderation tools and accessibility options (on Old Reddit, New Reddit, and mobile platforms) which match or exceed the functionality and utility of third-party applications.
• Commit to prioritizing a significant reduction in spam, misinformation, bigotry, and illegal content on Reddit.
• Guarantee that any future developments which may impact moderators, contributors, or stakeholders will be announced no less than one fiscal quarter before they are scheduled to go into effect.
• Work together with longstanding moderators to establish a reasonable roadmap and deadline for accomplishing all of the above.
• Affirm that efforts meant to keep Reddit accountable to its commitments and deadlines will hereafter not be met with insults, threats, removals, or hostility.
• Publicly affirm all of the above by way of updating Reddit’s User Agreement and Reddit’s Moderator Code of Conduct to include reasonable expectations and requirements for administrators’ behavior.
• Implement and fill a senior-level role (with decision-making and policy-shaping power) of "Moderator Advocate" at Reddit, with a required qualification for the position being robust experience as a volunteer Reddit moderator.

Reddit is unique amongst social-media sites in that its lifeblood – its multitude of moderators and contributors – consists entirely of volunteers. We populate and curate the platform’s many communities, thereby providing a welcoming and engaging environment for all of its visitors. We receive little in the way of thanks for these efforts, but we frequently endure abuse, threats, attacks, and exposure to truly reprehensible media. Historically, we have trusted that Reddit’s administrators have the best interests of the platform and its users (be they moderators, contributors, participants, or lurkers) at heart; that while Reddit may be a for-profit company, it nonetheless recognizes and appreciates the value that Redditors provide.
That trust has been all but entirely eroded… but we hope that together, we can begin to rebuild it.
In simplest terms, Reddit, we implore you: Remember the human.
We look forward to your response by Thursday, June 29th, 2023.
There’s also just one other thing.

There's some very "reddit moment" pictures linked in the post.

I'm not entirely sure when the mods will wise up that their "hmmm technically the rules mean this" approach does not actually work because the admins can just overrule them with the spirit rather than the letter of their policies (or just change their policies unilaterally).

Spam porn on your own sub, blame the admins for allowing it to happen, get mad at the admins for stopping it, very classy reddit

all of the talk in this reddit protest is trying to harm spez so that he buckles down.
nevermind just stop using reddit for a few days, literally, don't access that shit for a week and see the site break.
i know it's fucking impossible for these demented faggots, just pointing out though.
