It's a very important distinction that the Reddit ToS accidentally makes. So, in conclusion: Fuck -> No NSFW tag. Hell -> Yes NSFW tag. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 0101010001110100@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) So can't reddit just change the wording of the ToS? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Thassar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 3 years ago (1 child) I mean, they can but it takes time to do that and until they do /r/pics is adhering to the letter of the law (or at least an interpretation of it) while spitting in the face of the spirit of the law. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Nollij@lemmy.fmhy.ml 10 points 3 years ago I'm not sure why everyone thinks the lawyers would get involved. It doesn't matter what the guidelines technically say. Reddit has already proven to be extremely untrustworthy regarding their mod policy. If the admins want the mods out, the mods will simply be out. But it sets a nice precedent/roadmap for the people still there even after the new mods (who have pledged fealty to the king) are installed. Countless people will do this until they get banned, hurting Reddit where it counts. permalink fedilink source parent
