/r/interestingasfuck forced open, lowers its standard of what qualifies as "interesting", gets flooded with adult content [NSFW within two clicks] (www.reddit.com)

I think the title speaks for itself.

EDIT: UPDATE: So apparently the former r/jailbait mod that is The CEO purged the sub’s mods and forced the sub to re-reopen under the old rules.

Mission failed! We’ll get them next time!

EDIT2: aaaaaaand the sub's archived and no longer accepts new submissions. The garbage fire keeps going....

I like this more than what r/piracy and r/memes did, (especially r/piracy^) as the content now being produced in those subs is still "quality" content that won't deter users from Reddit.

What needs to be done, (assuming Reddit mods refuse to risk giving up their power) is to pollute the homepage and r/all with so much crap that people refuse to use the website.

^ r/piracy rant, taken from my Reddit comment: (made before switching to lemmy)

You have given up the protest.

You are helping Reddit twofold: Continuing to provide content, (even John Oliver content is still content) and removing unwanted content. (The discussion of digital piracy)

At this point you might as well remove the megathread as well.

I honestly just found about Lemmy and signed up because I noticed the quality of content on Reddit (especially /r/all) took a nose dive.

Even in the comments so much nonsense and hate today.

Welcome! if you're new to the fediverse, I have a quick intro stickied in this sub. The main difference is looking for communities across different instances, not just on lemmy.world.

It's good to see another refugee! Hope this place fills that space for you that Reddit has left empty.

What is piracy and memes doing? I haven't been back to reddit since last week (except to steal content and bring it here).

r/piracy is only allowing pictures of John Oliver, and r/memes is only allowing medieval themed posts.

[–] dystop 3 points 2 years ago

Haha! I gotta say, medieval themed posts is a little broad. I think there's too much room for variety there.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Funny. In 4 years time all people interested in medieval times are in r/memes and everybody wonders how the subname came to be.

It's not GOOD content though. That's the point.
