In protest against reddits API changes the “interestingasfuck” subreddit plans to reopen after a week long blackout with just one rule: posters have to consider their content “interesting as fuck” for it to be allowed in the sub. That’s it.
In addition, reddits site-wide rules are still in place, and any content breaking those rules will be handed over to Reddits “Anti-Evil Operations”, their site-wide moderation team. They’re also much better equipped to figure out which users are bots, so when in doubt bots are to be reported to them, they’ll surely do a good job enforcing reddits Rules. (Google them, they have a stellar track record!)
Reporting rulebreaks to AEO is encouraged, and the subreddits been marked as NSFW as a precaution. Gone are the days where you’d need to have a minimum amount of karma, or mods would check if they deemed your post actually interesting.
I’m personally hoping for lots of pictures of interesting sticks, John Oliver and a hint of frogs! 🐸
If I have time tomorrow, I’ll probably post how it’s interesting as fuck that modmail isn’t released for the official mobile client until September.
It has been done!
