I just have to laugh.

Fuck reddit! I'm here now!

It's a shame how shabbily reddit's board and u/spez (and his lackeys) have treated reddit's users and mods. They benefited enormously from free content and hours of unpaid moderation, yet they chose to throw it all away.

If Reddit goes down, what articles will pcmag decide to write about then?

reddit is transforming itself from a social media platform into a history lesson at this point. I'd say don't feel guilty if you still browse reddit at all, but don't be shocked when it's gone either.

the attitude and behavior of the company towards the community is what's going to finish it off more than anything.

there's so other ways they could've monetized reddit without causing all this, but they seem hell bent on being obtuse. to that, i shrug and move on.

I'm disappointed how few subreddits are daring to call their bluff, or put their full weight behind migrating. It's clear they actually aren't able to replace moderators that easily.

“We are now stuck in a difficult position as we do not want the community to die”

Feels to me like they dug their own grave and now complain that the user's are problem.

What are they expecting after they remove moderators and remove the nsfw status? That the users keep posting? They aren't dumb and I could imagine that some or most people will probably stop posting there.

or else what? They'll bring in paid moderators to do an actual job?

Reddit admins writing warning letters like I title project files. lastlastLASTFINAL-v1.3forreal.doc warning

Fuck Reddit

"This is your final warning, please migrate to FOSS platforms"

It's amazing how fast Reddit went from my favorite place to be online to a trash heap

TBH I Don't care about reddit now, I'm more into lemmy or squabble now. If its user base grows or declines I Don't care, I'm out of reddit and I'm not going back.

Reddit are past the point of no return for me. They could reverse all their API changes but I'm not going back. They've show their true colours.

The final warning was enough to cause the moderators for r/Military—a forum partly devoted to helping veterans—to stop operating as a NSFW subreddit. “We are now stuck in a difficult position as we do not want the community to die,” the moderator team wrote.

Cowards.

Reddit is slowly dying. Major nerd communities like r/startrek migrated already. And remaining users will soon realize that their feeds are becoming more and more lifeless. Kinda like twitter feels since Elon.

this is sad when years of work, sweat and commitment wasted WITHOUT GETTING PAID to keep a community alive and full of information to get stamped and threatened by a dickhead

"It’s not OK to show people NSFW content when they don’t want to see it,”

You know what else isn't ok!!!!! Fucking over the entire population of reddit users to churn over some short term profits!

I hope spez buys a yacht or something!

People still use Reddit?

Get back to work or I'm going to give you more free time!

The only thing reddit cant do it stop people just not using reddit. All these protests really arent that effective as people leaving reddit and going elsewhere (hopefully lemmy tho.)

Gotta love the ones that are actually NSFW that they want changed to not. Naked selfies is pretty much the tip of the iceberg with Cyberpunk, with a lot of gore and violence and sex underneath. And there's some truly fucked up shit that I don't even want to describe that's there too, as a side quest continuation of main story events.

Isn’t this the admins like third final warning?

I wonder if public freakouts was told to remove the NSFW tag. That sub definitely should have been NSFW all along.

I only go to Reddit now because of one or two forums that don't exist on here yet, But the more I see stories like this, the more I'm inclined to just say screw it and nuke my account.

Don’t really care what they do anymore tbh.

lol i think reddit is fucked

We should direct everyone on Reddit to Lemmy. Then, (this is copy pasted, I'm not a bot) add an option to the third party apps for Lemmy so you can opt in to ads that support your instance and the platform. Force me to use your bullshit app so you can make more money? Fuck you. I came here from Reddit. But I'd opt in to ads to support something that is clearly better.
