Most of if not the whole mod team of r/askmen is leaving, they didn’t get forcibly removed but they’re done with the bullshit so they’re quitting.
I wonder if Reddit knows it’s doing some serious and potentially irrevocable damage to itself.
Without a doubt. It’s a cesspool over there right now but at least those communities were marked NSFW and the subs were polled to verify that was the direction they wanted the sub to go (because ‘democracy’ and ‘mods are landed gentry’ and so forth)
They have archived those subreddits for the time being. I found this:
I feel mildly bad for the parent who has to explain some depraved sexual act because the unmoderated subreddits get inundated with unmarked porn.
According to the comments of that thread, they’ve removed the moderator team for r/interestingasfuck and r/tihi too.
Looks like they’re going after the ones that went NSFW but I don’t want to spend enough time trying to find all the rest of them.
Not logged in, front page of Hot on old.reddit, #19 is one from r/pics when I peeked.
Edit: also lol on some of the subs in hot right now that I guarantee I’ve never seen there before.
Premium’s been a thing for a long time, it used to be Reddit Gold several years ago. It also used to be cheaper, $3.99/mo but it went up multiple years ago.
They might be pushing it hard right now, though. Not sure. Maybe they’re trying to entice the people who were paying for 3PA features to pay Reddit instead or something.
I currently have premium, ad free is the only way Reddit is palatable even before all this went down and I bought it ages ago when I wanted to support a thing I used every day and also have had a couple awards that extended it, it expires in August. I won’t be renewing.
For me personally, either one, we all play in the same sandbox (for the most part).
But this particular magazine is on kbin so of course OP is interested in building up kbin.
I think kbin does @ instead of ! - sorry about that!
Edit: I fixed them to be links instead, hopefully that’ll help.
!shittyfoodporn@lemmy.ca is one I saw pop up recently.
!gifrecipes@lemmy.world also.
Oh, and, there’s an entire Lemmy NSFW instance if that’s your thing. lemmynsfw.com
On Mobile so I have limited ability to do a mass update of the database as listed, but -
!kidsbeingderps@lemmy.world is inspired by r/kidsarefuckingstupid
!asklemmy@lemmy.world and !asklemmy@lemmy.ml are intended to be similar to Ask Reddit
!mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world - r/mildlyinfuriating
!nostupidquestions@lemmy.world - r/nostupidquestions
!youshouldknow@lemmy.world - r/youshouldknow
!me_irl@lemmy.ml - r/me_irl
!showerthoughts@lemmy.world - r/showerthoughts
!maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world - r/maliciouscompliance
!shittyfoodporn@lemmy.ca - r/shittyfoodporn
!therewasanattempt@lemmy.world - r/therewasanattempt
!thesilphroad@lemmy.world - r/thesilphroad (and r/pokemongo)
!boneappletea - r/boneappletea
There are a ton more, without a doubt.
Sorry, I’m very new to Lemmy and I was also posting from a mobile app so I just pulled the community. I’m not fully versed on the difference between how kbin communities name their short name versus Lemmy and I was pretty sure the ! didn’t work but I didn’t know it was @
I’ll store that away for the next time.
Since Lemmy and Kbin are federating now, maybe you’ll find something in line with what you’re looking for, like maybe https://lemmy.world/c/motorcycles would work for you. :)
Edit: As per notation, !motorcycles@lemmy.world or @motorcycles@lemmy.world should be better formatting.
https://lemmy.world/c/kidsbeingderps has a similar idea as r/kidsarefuckingstupid as per the sidebar.
There’s also an unexpected on lemmy.ml but it’s dead so maybe someone with a bunch of good videos/gifs can start to populate it or make a new one here.
If they start inserting ads in videos I’m watching even though I literally pay them not to, I’ll be more than just mildly infuriated.
Hi, I’m replying from Lemmy.
It could be the communities (magazines) I’m in, but I haven’t seen anything acting that way (with the exception of some instance overloads that caused federation issues during the first wave of Rexxit earlier this week).
I can’t say if maybe there are some issues in certain communities where that’s happening.
https://lemmy.world/c/therewasanattempt would probably appreciate this and it’s so new there’s nothing there yet.
There are some funky federation issues right now, the servers are straining a little bit under the load spike. I can see your post.
