Awkwardtheturtle banned - Rare Reddit Admin W

  • It took a few years but they finally listened to the Petition! : https://www.change.org/p/reddit-mods-ban-u-awkwardtheturtle

    j/k

    Why Kbin insead Lemmy?

  • How do you block a domain? It is like blocking a magazine (if that is possible).

    Finally made an account

  • I really like the UI kbin has. Don't have to worry about old.reddit being removed one day either.

    •
    [META] reddits r/shittylifeprotips is now without rules and posting porn is being encouraged to make reddit less desirable to advertisers.

  • I think this is a feedback loop for reddit's death spiral. They'll just start blocking/banning NSFW posts or make a new 'policy' thus killing off even more subs. Which in return more people will leave who didn't care about the API changes. Then those who remain will find another loophole and continue the protest which reddit fires back restricting even more and it continues until reddit has lost the majority of its core userbase.

    Maybe I am wrong but I am assuming most advertisers don't want to advertise with NSFW stuff everywhere. I feel reddit who is money hungry and refuses to listen to the community will just continue to tighten the grip as they remove more and more mods from subs replacing them with yes men.

    23k New Lemmy and Kbin Accounts Created in Last Hour

  • I suspect that will be the next wave too. Then whenever reddit gets closer and closer to going public I have a feeling they have more steps in place they will start to change/shut down more subs that don't 'align' with a clean image they want advertisers and shareholders to see. The place will become more and more dry as everything becomes about pleasing those who pay them rather than the community.

    I could be wrong but with how they ignored and responded to the recent protest (whether people agree with the protest or not) they clearly are hell bent on their way or the highway.

    What Reddit features do you *not* want kbin to have?

  • Oh man this was the worst. Even game subs like Call of Duty the mods would not allow anyone to talk about Skill Based Matchmaking (SBMM) so they just auto-modded every single thread about it. These same mods pretty much run every CoD sub so they were all unfortunately power-tripped the same way. If a community is upset about something they should be able to speak their mind, not hide it all because it might look bad for a company.
