Can’t wait for all the NSFW subs to remove the NSFW tags
Ahahaha I love malicious compliance. I sincerely hope they do that.
Well sadly they did end the message with: “Lastly, if you suddenly begin to post, or approve content that features sexually explicit content to your community in order to justify the NSFW label, we will immediately remove and permanently suspend moderators who have participated in this action.”. So I think they will just, yet again, remove ‘non-compliant’ mods.
Can confirm, was removed from /r/StarWarsDadJokes together with the other mods that way. I regret nothing, I’m not going back anyway.
It’s funny that that sub is now completely inaccessible due to being unmoderated. So… Mission Accomplished? xD
This is the petty shit I would do
That would be great!!
lol imagine NSFW subs remove NSFW tags and SFW sub add NSFW tags
I hope this all does them in.
I anxiously check news headlines each day hoping to see that reddit is canceling their IPO.
I can’t wait until their valuation is sub-$1B down from a $10B peak.
Fuck Steve Huffman.
There’s definitely financial damage and I don’t know how spez still has a job but it would take a long-running war to drive numbers down enough and I don’t see that happening personally. Unfortunate but it is what it is
It doesn’t matter what happens to reddit for me anymore. The best, most anti authoritarian users left for the fediverse. I’ve been getting pretty sick of reddit and this exodus means there’s enough userbase here to replace it for my use case.
Glad me and the others could help! :)
Dear god that’s unsettling.
It’s the lack of a soul behind his eyes.
Glad I haven’t looked back since leaving. I do need to delete my profiles though. Was still having hope
I spent 10 years on that site. I’m not sure I can bring myself to delete all my comments and the profile itself.
I haven’t logged in since Apollo died though
14 years on it.
Just created my profile here.
Apollo forever.
Just made my account too! Posting from the Memmy app - feels a lot like Apollo
Why hello fellow Memmy user. Have you noticed you can use the sunset theme and Dracula theme from Apollo
Another Apollo like app is wefwef and it’s a web based app but like Memmy more
Why let them have all that content you provided though? Don’t get me wrong what you all do with your accounts is your business. I’m not about to be that person that comes barging in with “YOU NEED TO DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT”, but if it helps lend any credibility to what I have to say - I was on there for over a decade with over 150k karma (99% of that comment karma so I participated a lot in discussions over the years) and as difficult as it was, I deleted my post/comment history and then my account. I don’t want to support them by allowing them to profit off of my free labor/efforts.
Not saying every single comment I made was gold or worth much, but if it helps them to pump up their numbers for advertisers/stockholders then I’d just as soon remove my contribution.
I tried, but it didn’t take. The comment deletions were all restored the next day. I haven’t asked for the account to be deleted, but I think that still leaves behind all the comment history.
Use one of the scripts that overwrites your comments first. Just deleting doesn’t help one bit.
They also rate limit you to one action every 1.5 seconds or something.
What is the app that does that?
There are several ways. If you want to overwrite and delete:
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/10905-reddit-overwrite-extended/code (This runs as a script in your browser over a plugin, like Greasy Fork, you install the JavaScript Plugin, add the script code, navigate to your comments and let it work).
For just overwriting without deleting… haven’t found something good yet. I adapted the script above for it and it took a while.
There is also shreddit, but it has more setup: https://github.com/x89/Shreddit
I don’t think I’ll delete my account or comments. There’s a lot of memories there. I’ve said a lot of nice things to nice people. Reddit was one of the places I grieved for my father. And I didn’t have my act together enough to download my comment/post history before the third-party export tools stopped working.
I respect your decision, but I also wish to write that your experiences are yours, and nobody can take that away from you. Lately, I have been working to take pictures of items I don’t need anymore to help me remove things I don’t need from my life as a way to hold the experience but let go of the object.
This is not advice, only, know that nobody owns your experiences but you.
I’m about to hit my 12 year cake day. But I think it might be time 😔
“Do as we say or we won’t let you do free work us any more!”
Serious why don’t the mod team just agree on an alternative like lemmy and move there?
Some of them have
However, “the mod team” is a diverse and fragmented group with many individuals across Reddit
Many of whom have dissenters and/or “Reddit Sympathizers” within their team that would sooner sell out the rest of the mod team just to keep what measly crumbs of “power” they have.
The longer they keep this up the worse it is for the IPO, I’m not complaining
And why would you complain. I was really upset when Apollo kicked the bucket even though this month would have been when I used Apollo for a year :(
But I found lemmy and decided to check it out since mastodon wasn’t really scratching my itch. It was good but not what I was looking for long term. I’m here on Memmy and now Apollo is nicely tucked into bed in my new social media folder next to lemmy and mastodon and I haven’t looked back
It’s fun watching them stick around to be a thumb in spez’s eye.
Honestly, they probably like the feeling of “power” (as sad as that sounds) that comes with moderating a community as large as theirs on Reddit.
Nice username!
It would be awesome if the mods were like, “You know what? Fuck it.” and deleted their communities.
Thanks for that. Obviously I know nothing about moderating on Reddit. However, I stand by my comment as wishful thinking.
Remove NSFW from subs. Then make everyone a mod.
remember when that one subreddit did the snap and banned half their users? the mods should do that again
One “or else”, please.
I like they just force them to remove the label instead of just changing their own rules about where ads show up.
Those rules are probably set by advertisers, not be reddit themselves.
And the advertisers are gonna be pissed when their products show up next to genitals on a “now SFW” subreddit.
I really don’t get that mentality as an advertiser. Lotta people looking at porn. Lotta potential for your ads to be seen. 🤷🏻♂️
In the US, at least, you have a significant portion of the population with a puritanical bent. To top it off, they’re extremely vocal, political, and organized.
Right or wrong, advertisers are terrified of angering these people.
“he gets us”
Yeah me to. The internet is full of ads and porn as it is. What is the big deal about seeing them together?
That sounds rough, good thing I’m no longer a participant in that whole mess
I don’t get why people don’t protest in other ways. You could easily scare reddit financially by sending mail to their advertisers saying “Hi! We’re protesting reddit and their advertisers for Reddit’s changes on API”
