Some subreddits are now filled with porn to protest Reddit
Any community that doesn't explicitly disallow porn ends filled with nothing but porn, so... you can see where this goes, right? OnlyFans girls: "it's free real state!"
r/linguistics is also protesting by changing the rules: 1) all posts must be links to academic articles, and 2) questions go only in the Q&A thread. That's actually worse than it looks like.
Reddit Inc.'s biggest mistake was to think that blackouts were the only form of protest, and that mods would only blackout for two days. They'll scorch the land fast.
Can you elaborate? Why is the r/linguistics change worse than it looks?
Because not even professional linguists would be able to keep up with that, or even want to deal with it. The field is huge; anything language is Linguistics. For example you might be well informed in one specific field, but unable to even parse info from another.
Linguists often have a big disdain towards academicism, since they're dealing with something that most people in the world do - use language.
And for the laymen, well... the sub is not for them any more, period.
Misleading title, but it should do some damage at least.
A handful of subreddits have classified themselves as not safe for work (NSFW) to protest Reddit’s recent treatment of the platform’s volunteer moderators, and as a result, some non-porn communities are starting to get a lot of porn.
That's hilarious
This is what happens when you release the pent-up inner troll in mods
I love this lmao. Ingenious.
