Some mods are doing the bare minimal due to the questionable attitude of Reddit CEO/admins. Showing disagreement but conforming to the rules, some subs made the decision if the topic sort of match the sub's name, it will not be removed. i.e. r/iOS, as long as it is upload from iOS device, it is considered as a legit post. This naturally results in a large number NSFW content. Another is r/steam, which is now a sub for steam train, steam buns, steam vegetable, etc and etc
Thank you for context, I wasn't browsing reddit for some days now
Based.
And if you do, do so using libreddit so you don't add any traffic to it.
Just put reddit.adminforge.de instead of www.reddit.com to open it in libreddit and not add to reddit's traffic.
just to be safe, don't do it at work, school or in front of grandma/grandpa
The biggest thing that hit the front page is porn from r/interestingasfuck. That whole subreddit is a 50-50 on what post you click on (because it's a NSFW subreddit now).
I didn't even know about this until my friend sent me a post that hit r/all.
r/interestingasfuck turned into a porn sub, they're taking the "fuck" part to the letter lmao.
While I absolutely love the playfulness in upending a sub’s theme a la steam, ultimately reddit probably won’t care much. As long as they’re getting sellable engagement, the topics are almost irrelevant.
I do think the subs going hands-up on moderating might be more effective. Because if you just leave the doors wide open, you’ll get flooded with bots and porn. Bots and porn for days.
Depends on if they stick with it, because it will become boring to most users and they'll go elsewhere.
How many advertisers will want to advertise on newly minted porn subreddits? Won't this have some sort of effect?
