Tf happened at Reddit now?
EDIT: LOL What a shitshow! Thanks for the responses. So glad I stopped using it after the great migration to Lemmy last year.
Spez.
He's spreading cheeks to the muskrat with both hands, and in the process, "accidentally" banned a ton of NSFW subs. This made at least some people realize that their future is not guaranteed on reddit, that an off-service backup is needed; then a r/piracy post mentioning Lemmy reached the front page.
banned a ton of NSFW subs
That's a great way to make Reddittors furious.
They’ve said it was a “bug”.
However I can’t help but feel that it was an accidental “test” of a way to mass ban NSFW subs to be more advertiser and investor friendly.
Yup, and even if they never use it, now their investors and advertisers know they could do it as soon as it's commercially preferable.
The button they built got pushed before it was supposed to and everyone's like "Why'd you build the button?"
Enshitification proceeds apace. Welcome to the Lemmiverse!!
This is a goon safe space.
Like Tumblr before them
They also banned some subs that were critical of Elon.
I got perma banned for “doxxing” the techs that work for Elon. Even though all I did was post a picture with their names that was included with a daily mail article.
Censorship.
