Spez said in an interview I saw a few minutes ago that they would not be forcing subs open. Do you mean to tell me Spez -- Steve Huffman, CEO of Reddit -- is a liar? Who woulda thunk it?

I did it after the "noise" memo leaked. 12+ years of Reddit gone. I left Digg in the Exodus and I'm not taking Reddit's shit either.

At this rate he'll be in a bunker next week claiming mods have taken over the Reddit headquarters.

extreme far right buffoonery

Like the title said, it basically started off with Nazism. No devolution of discussion required.

This is not actually about pornographic content. Florida already had laws to protect from actually obscene material.

Drag queen story time and drag acts that do not contain nudity are not pornographic.

There are screenshots of the mod log showing the "Moderator Code of Conduct" admin account going in and reverting the NSFW settings on multiple subs. Yeah screenshots aren't always trustworthy but that's really the best you're going to get with this. It's not out of character for Spez though, so I'm not giving Reddit the benefit of the doubt.

Specifically she was thrown under the bus by kn0thing (Alex Ohanion).

Unfortunately the tools for mass editing and deletion will probably stop functioning on July 1.

They've already moved nuclear weapons to Belarus with their regular forces.

Devs said that was discussed and rejected by Reddit. They're stuck on that $12,000 for 50M figure. Because the goal is killing the apps.

In a sense, yes it speaks to the downfall of all these platforms. But it's not a new phenomenon. Enshitification, specifically as a result of venture capitalist investment money.

He's mad the value of his stake in the company is going down the toilet before the IPO.

He's not afraid of any communists. The "communists" he and the Republicans want to harm are anyone that oppose them on any issue.

Publicity and trying to get ahead of the message are one thing. But on the other hand, he's telling blatant lies that are easily refuted with audio recordings, transcripts, the actual e-mails, etc. I'm guessing there's actually some revenue impact already for him to go from "It'll pass" to this freakout they're having over there.

Yeah, but how well would most everyone else do with a wooden stake through the liver?

I agree it's too much, but on the other hand the potential user base for the app is much lower than previously with Reddit. So I can understand it, even if I don't like it.

IIRC they're a totally private company and in one interview about the graphics card exit it honestly sounds like the founders/owners would rather go out of business than tarnish their reputation even by selling to someone else. So yeah it's possible they're just winding the whole thing down.

Yeah I would suggest they found /r/PicsForScabs /r/GifsForScabs, etc etc etc if any users have a problem with the new direction the communities have voted to go in.

You can already use Revanced to strip the ads and suggestions out of the official app. It still sucks shit compared to most every 3rd party app.

If this is available it definitely needs to be an option, and I think it probably needs to not be the default. I know I like to know which instances I'm interacting with, and I think it makes sense because that's part of the point of the Fediverse.
