It's easy for them to attack the remaining subreddits when half of reddit, bent the knee at the slightest threat of having mod powers removed. Imagine how hard it would have been to do this if a majority of subreddits had stuck together.
Yes there’s an element of people not wanting to lose their power. But for every dickhead powermod there are dozens of small subreddits with a handful of people working hard to establish and maintain a community, largely altruistically and thanklessly.
Modding, when it’s done well by dedicated people with a passion for their subject, can be incredibly powerful. There are some communities (eg legaladvice, askhistorians) that are unique and just couldn’t exist without those people dedicating untold hours to tending to them to prevent them from descending into chaos. Not to mention the custom tools almost all of them rely on.
Have a read of Legaladviceuk announcement.
Yeah the issue with my sub is we've worked really hard to create the community we have. A lot of our users won't leave. I've decided to use an automod sticky comment on every post letting everyone know where the rest of our official pages are. I have seen very little migration unfortunately.
We decided as a mod team to keep our sub open. We're all migrating off Reddit but we're keeping our accounts for our one singular sub.
Well the governments better start creating instances and communities in the fediverse to monitor us then
That was some weak ass protest anyway. Let's protest for just 2 days! No wonder Steve Huffman just gloated about it all over and even called the mods "landed gentry"
It wasn't just 2 days though? 2 days blackout was the first part. I mean, we're literally in a thread about a sub being punished for continuing their protest and they're not the only sub.
IMO it was always the right move to start with a limited protest. Giving users a chance to vote on next steps easily lets them counter reddit's claims that people wanted the protest to end.
They should have quit at the same time.
I like how you're in trouble for allowing NSFW posts in a sfw community, oh but also you're not allowed to mark things NSFW.
Reddit: "we will make up whatever rules we want, whenever we want, so that we can keep funding the payments on our BMWs"
Normally, companies try and implement changes in their product in a diplomatic way, but I guess Reddit never got that memo.
Since when they have a rule to prevent SFW subs from turning into NSFW subs? Did they add the clause just recently?
They didn't care/enforce it during the whole animetitties/worldpolitics shenanigans, so either new or enforced when they feel like it. Centralised control sure is great.
its recent. they'are also remaking reddit's content policy.
spez and his jackbooted thugs are doing everything they can to burn reddit to the ground before July 1.
Jannies have never been good at relating to people, and reddit admins are like the jannies' janny. Ban-happiness is inevitable.
Forums are an interesting model for real life human social structures. If you operate your social structural group in such a way that the only way of meting out punishment is exclusion, eventually you can create an outgroup that becomes a threatening competitor.
When your containment board is another website, you lose.
You are free to do whatever you want with your subreddit as long as do do exactly the things we tell you to do
Typical dogshit from Reddit admins, holy shit it gets worse every day
Hell, its getting worse by the hour.
Hell, it got worse compared to just 30 seconds ago.
This subreddit is unmoderated. Visit /r/redditrequest to request it.
Holly shit! I'm going to get some popcorn.
As one of the former mods, I am REALLY hoping someone turns it into a hate sub for Steven Kings acclaimed book and the not so acclaimed films.
The fact that the whole mods team got wiped out means none of them are scabs. Hat off for holding your ground.
Stop giving them content for free, they are milking you like cows. That's why they are restoring your deleted content, because they are making cash out of your messages. Leave reddit behind and enter the fediverse.
Indeed
This is becoming dystopian
r/aboringdystopia ehhh I mean, c/? I wonder if those guys are here yet, gonna go search.
All the more reason to never use reddit again, even if they revert the API pricing
Thanks, I hate it
What was the TIHI subreddit about? (I don't want to even go to reddit to find out. Blocked that site).
Thanks, I Hate It
Thanks I hate it! It's whatever stuff that makes you say that.
So, it's about reddit admin decisions?
Hateable pictures like pics of disgusting or weird stuff, similar to WTF
it means, Thanks I Hate It.
This is bullshit
This is bullshit reddit - here, fixed it for you.
A user on tildes describes how to go scorched earth for mods:
- Turn off all spam filtering
- Disable minimum karma requirements
- Allow all posts, disable all rules
- Unban all banned users
- Purge all allowed submitters
- Turn off AutoModerator, Scrub all configs
- Delete all CSS and uploaded images/maps
- Blank all sidebars, Delete all flairs
- Allow NSFW content, Enable sub's content on /all
- Set the sub's color scheme on mobile to something vomit-inducing
- Blank all of the text options such as the sub's topic listing
- Grab a copy of anything in the wikis worth saving
- Disable and permanently remove all third party mod tools and bots
- Invite all users to the moderation team with full comment/submission privs
- GDPR request for their own account data and then
- Use it to delete their accounts and all of their content
The options in bold, they have no defense for. That's where the pressure points lie. The rest they can cope with, but not those options, not if lots of subs and users go that route.
- Unban all banned users
- Invite all users to the moderation team with full comment/submission privs
Do both of these together. Make every banned account into a mod!
Might want to avoid turning the sub NSFW, reddit admins claimed that as the criteria they are watching for to remove mods. They say they are taking action to prevent porn being spammed.
Which is funny, because the NSFW rules state that it's not only porn, but profanity as well:
NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content
Content that contains nudity, pornography, or profanity, which a reasonable viewer may not want to be seen accessing in a public or formal setting such as in a workplace should be tagged as NSFW. This tag can be applied to individual pieces of content or to entire communities.
Literally according to Reddits own content policy rules, any sub that allows swearing should mark itself NSFW - which basically means all of them because I've yet to find a sub where swearing wasn't allowed.
Watching the dumpster fire in real-time. Nice.
fuck spez. fuck reddit's board of directors.
u/spez is purging Reddit. May he burn it down.
So what they're saying is that their nsfw system isn't up to snuff. Maybe focus on fixing that?
Damn! Seeing it happen to/r/mildlyinteresting is what made me eventually sign up here! This is just reiterating that decision.
I wonder how many other people are going to do the same thing I did
Hey @Pfahli, there are:
And
The kbin one has been registered by a fellow mod, so no worries there for us
Didn't the subreddit have a vote to switch to being nsfw? How is that showing people stuff against their wishes?
At this point the mod that's staying (and is not a Reddit a cuck) is quite stupid and/or self-centered.
Hey guys, I’m pretty sure that u/modcodeofconduct is spez
glad to see this site getting this much traction!
They have balls. Confirmed.
They also suspended all our accounts for 7 days.
As the original creator and designer of the logo and banner, I also filed a DMCA against the further use of the r/TIHI logo on reddit.

Thanks, I Love It.
Unfortunately that has no chance of succeeding. When you sign up to reddit, you give them a license to use the content you submit. It's in the user agreement, section 5 "Your Content": https://www.redditinc.com/policies/user-agreement
Do you intend to try and move the community somewhere else, e.g. here?
Yes, we are already talking about that in the mod team. Happy to find a new home in kbin, we were all pretty much done by this point
Well done.
In 7 days I'm going to speedrun a permanent account ban.
Just say that you'll kill and eat Matt Walsh if you were locked on a room with him, worked for me
Time to go nuclear.
Well at least they are focused on the topic of your ex-sub.
