I know that this probably won't work as stubbornly idiotic as Huffman seems to be doubling down but god isn't that amazing.

What's fascinating is the sudden increase of people whining about this. If this kind of stuff bothers them imagine how bad it is when these moderators leave completely? I know a subreddit based on interesting things have completely lowered their standards as a protest and it shows.

    My friend is no longer using reddit because his front page is mostly porn now (and the default app sucks at hiding it). So I got him to switch to lemmy :)

    But if anything, this is an even better protest. Much more effective and hard to deal with

    I've also had friends say reddit is too toxic now. Well, yeah. Mods aren't modding and the nicer people are over here. It'll be interesting to see how much they recover. Clearly they knew this would cost them with their users, but hopefully it's substantially more than they expected.

    If you want to see people really whine, just go on r/JustUnsubbed, you'll see a bunch of people moaning and groaning about this
