Admins switching subs back from NSFW to SFW
Admins switching subs back from NSFW to SFW
Apparently the admins aren't too happy with the new form of protest that Reddit moderators found, since NSFW subs don't run ads. Brought to Reddit users by the zombie admin account u/ModCodeOfConduct!
The admins also removed the entire mod team of r/MildlyInteresting (original link) and replaced it with either employees or sycophants, while giving all mods a 7d suspension ban.
Reddit: "subs belong to the community!"
Also Reddit: "screw the community, this is MY PRECIOUS!"
I'm willing to bet that r/ModCoord will be eventually banned. And the ban message will say something cryptic, vague, and meaningless.

Yes this is all a bit depressing that reddit seems to be reaching its natural conclusion; believe me I've been browsing since 2010 and have watched it change over the years. But , at least this time is not the absolute degenerates that migrated like the r/fatpeoplehate fiasco. Voat turned into a white nationalist cess pool really quickly. And on a positive note lemmy/kbin seem like they have some real potential.
I'm genuinely joyful that Reddit is dying. That place was a liability for the internet and society, on multiple ways.
I've watched Ruqqus forming. It started OK but then Voat closed down, and guess what: a place built around a naive/dichotomic conception of free speech, with absolutely no behavioural rules, was bound to be eventually infested by people who don't care about free speech.
The Lemmyverse is shaping differently because the ones being pissed by the changes are different. This time it isn't the ones poking fun at obese people, or the white nationalists, or the "gamers rise up REEEE" and "I'm sooo nice why does nobody like me? ;_;" basement dwellers. No, this time everyone with more than half a brain is getting the fuck out of the boat because we know that it is sinking.
Just my two cents.
I really like the Kbin/Lemmy version of the fediverse and I’m not tempted to go back to Reddit.
