Source: comment thread in r/interestingasfuck stating that it has not become a ‘porn sub’. It only for nsfw because they also do malicious compliance.
veldais ( @veldais@kbin.social ) 86•1 year agoThe list of maliciously compliant subs that reopened is inspiring
- /nofans (previously a nsfw sub) now dedicated to air cooled PC
- /shitposting now banning all posts with the letter “k”
- /horny (obvious what this was) is now a Christian Minecraft server
Ahhhh, democracy.
13zero ( @13zero@kbin.social ) 37•1 year ago- /memes is only allowing memes that mention “landed,” “gentry,” or “medieval.”
- /iOS seems to be NSFW shitposts
veldais ( @veldais@kbin.social ) 8•1 year agoAmazing. You love to see it
ion ( @ion@lemmy.ca ) 16•1 year agor/art is only allowing posts of John Oliver “looking artsy” r/WellThatSucks is only posts of vacuum cleaners now
HawkMan ( @HawkMan@kbin.social ) 6•1 year agoas fun as all this is, it’s counterproductive.
Right now it’s only giving spez a lot of extra traffic from people wanting to be creative and people wanting to see the shit storm. If people keep enjoying literal subs with shit posts, he doesn’t care as long as he gets traffic and users before the IPO
tvbusy ( @tvbusy@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 20•1 year agoI say it’s super productive. People go to Reddit because others have already done the work to vote the best content for consumption. For majority of Reddit users who just passively consume info (and maybe vote), seeing John instead of cats will significantly reduce their interest in Reddit.
Zana ( @Zana@kbin.social ) 6•1 year agoI’m really glad I can come here for cats.
veldais ( @veldais@kbin.social ) 2•1 year agoAgreed that it’s probably not productive for reducing traffic. That being said, I think the novelty will wear off.
Also, this whole situation is just amplifying the protest’s message (landed gentry lol). His 180° decision to threaten the removal of protesting mods just boosts my favorite internet phenomenon - the Streisand effect!
Icalasari ( @Icalasari@kbin.social ) 3•1 year agoPlus, it may hurt the public offerings - Investors don’t like uncertainty, and seeing that the users may at any point completely alter a subreddit could make them skittish
gulasch_hanuta ( @gulasch_hanuta@feddit.de ) 3•1 year agoBut if the sub is NSFW there aren’t any ads shown. So it’s really a lot of traffic, but no income.
Alue42 ( @Alue42@kbin.social ) 38•1 year agor/piracy is currently voting whether to return to normal or allow only pictures of John Oliver as a pirate
R!!
Midou ( @Midou@kbin.projectsegfau.lt ) 27•1 year agoHonestly this is trolling Reddit and i love it, destroy the point of the sub, go absolutely literal. And I’m here for it!
Thalyssa ( @Thalyssa@kbin.social ) 22•1 year agoWhat’s funnier are the people going “😭😭 muh content”. Imagine being that addicted to Reddit.
bionicjoey ( @bionicjoey@lemmy.ca ) 13•1 year agoI mean… I am that addicted to Reddit.
But Lemmy is my methodone
OOFshoot ( @OofShoot@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year agoImagine complaining that other people aren’t entertaining you for free.
DirkMcCallahan ( @DirkMcCallahan@kbin.social ) 20•1 year agoRexit has provided us with a plethora of unexpected hilarity, and I am here for it.
vyvanse ( @vyvanse@kbin.social ) 18•1 year agoI am loving these so much
cloaker ( @cloaker@kbin.social ) 16•1 year agoMy only hope this that this goes hand in hand with deleting posts prior to this. Leaving them up leaves them on Google and people can still interact with them.
Dee ( @Dee_Imaginarium@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year agoYou have to edit them, Reddit has been restoring a lot of the deleted comments and posts.
sincle354 ( @sincle354@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year agoI thought that edits were being reverted as well? The ultimate solution might just be to get site banned.
Dee ( @Dee_Imaginarium@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year agoI didn’t see anything about edits being reverted but that sucks if true
asawo ( @asawo@kbin.social ) 15•1 year agoDoesn’t all this activity help reddit though?
IntlLawGnome ( @IntlLawGnome@kbin.social ) 43•1 year agoIn the short term, people will come by to lollygag. In the long term, there’s only so much John Oliver anyone wants to see in a day, so traffic to those subs will likely fall.
paper_clip ( @paper_clip@kbin.social ) 37•1 year agothere’s only so much John Oliver anyone wants to see in a day
That limit is not known to science.
ekjp ( @ekjp@kbin.social ) 3•1 year agoI hope the bots will keep the sub alive. :)
onepinksheep ( @onepinksheep@kbin.social ) 15•1 year agoIt temporarily boosts activity, but that’s useless activity. It’s not going to help Reddit in the long run, and in fact will diminish Reddit’s value if it goes on long enough.
Tuxman ( @Tuxman@kbin.social ) 10•1 year agoWell well well… and they said my “Interest In Gas Fuck” would never be useful!!
44tomc ( @44tomc@beehaw.org ) 8•1 year agor/piracy was forced to reopen and thier mods say reddit gave them an endorsement for digital piracy hahaha & https://infosec.exchange/@nazgul/110567606843018903
