Just a warning, Reddit is no longer a safe place for free speech, it is compromised.
I missed reddit simply because I can't find the fucking porn on Lemmy (though I realize now that it might be because I"m on lemm.ee)
No I have no reason to miss it
Most have come back, /drugs for example. The admins said its a glitch, I can't beleive that and glad I'm here. I have no doubt reddit will get on its knees in the name of $$$$$$.
I'm not even remotely surprised. Anybody who has been following the history of Reddit will know that their senior management are spineless and will change their stance at a whim when it either hurts their public image or it no longer becomes viable from a business perspective.
We're forgetting that this is the same site that allowed jailbait, creepshots, racial hatred, right wing propaganda, rampant misogyny, gore videos, terrorist propaganda (if anyone remembers ISIL) and other disgusting content to proliferate until various scandals forced their hand. Spez in particular is a massive snake that will throw people under the bus and lie through his teeth if it benefits him.
But then again, with a government as volatile as this, maybe you don't want to piss of Trump or Musk...
Huffman? The guy involved in lossless compression?
what was that song again the slave owners sang? 'land o'the freeeee' or sth.... it gets funnier the more history they produce.
Sorry to post a reddit thread, but supposedly this was because of death threats to Elon bootlickers. https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/1ihq6ht/whats_going_on_with_whitepeopletwitter_that_got/
Which is ironic because Elon notoriously promoted project veritas literally catfishing his own employees at Twitter, and also brought back accounts like libsoftiktok that existed to target private individuals. But to be fair to Spez, maybe he would ban those things too.
Good. That will only sped up Reddit pulling a bluesky on their asses.
All they need to do is find a distributed alternative that won't bend the knee to any one entity.The resistance will be federated.
I'm gonna have to check on fuckcara and cyberstuck
Fuck spez
Well, there are many reasons why the CCP put 150M in Reddit in 2019…
obligatory 'fuck spez'. also reddit was compromised a long time ago.
Jesus, and I thought notorious piss baby Steve Huffman could not possibly get any more pathetic.
Reddit was on its way out a couple years ago. i got banned for life for asking a question about violence. Eefff them.
The warrant canary died almost a decade ago. it hasn't been a safe place for a very long time.
What? But I was told that elon is "not the fed" and nothing would happen to reddit who would fight tooth and nail for everyone's rights.
Gasp, shock, and amazement.
Thanks for the warning brah! Huffman seemed like such a stand up guy until now too! Another fallen angel.
It was always against the rules to do that. Nothing changed, except (from what I heard, I don't use Reddit anymore so correct me if I'm wrong) mods stopped enforcing the rule with regards to Musk, Musk put the spotlight on it, and Reddit (a shitty corporation trying desperately to be profitable) couldn't really do anything but enforce the rule.
It is true that Huffman is an asshole and probably likes the guy, but if it was some other public figure I don't think the outcome would be different.
Number of people surprised by this turn of events: 0
Not feeling so bad about receiving a random banhammer now
Maybe good for us
