Well that surely wouldn't backfire in the most spectacular way ever. I mean, it's not as if Reddit has ever had any vote brigading and botting issues, right? Right?
Hyperz
None of the big ones were allowing NSFW posts on their instances, but anyone can create an instance that does allow it 🙂
There's lemmynsfw.com as well now.
That's great news 👏. I really hope most of the subs currently participating end up going indefinite. Especially with Spez shrugging off the whole thing in the media.
This is the sad truth. I honestly can't wait until Spez finds out that his glorified RSS feed isn't worth as much as he thought it was come the IPO. One of their investors already got the memo.
Even if we forget about advertising, 48 hours is just not enough to achieve anything and might actually be worse than no blackout at all if people want to see change. Louis Rossmann made some great points about that in his latest video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U06rCBIKM5M
Time to sit back, relax, and watch ~~the world~~ Reddit burn 😎 🍿
And lots of proxies.
I can't think of a better way to put more gasoline on the fire. If it happens I hope the users revolt and completely shit up any sub where they pull this stunt. Let's see how long those new mods last then, and how many advertisers they lose.
This is the issue I don't understand. I mean, I get your point. But when you can set your display name to whatever you like on servers anyway, what does it matter what your handle is? I don't think having 1 million Johns with different discriminators is any better than having @john through @john1000000.
With the same discriminator? Like Username#1234 and UserName#1234 can both exist? If so, yes that's a rather big flaw.
For me I'd say it was probably playing Carmageddon 2 at my friend's place. I think that was also the first time I played a 3D-accelerated game (Voodoo).
