We have new members because of people fleeing, I’m seeing communities being archived, and just generally more than the regular Reddit being Reddit.

Has the end come in some way?

    Im sure you know all about these situations. Im sure at no point has a site like Tumblr gone through the exact same issues with NSFW and publicly discussed that they faced these issues because of investors and credit card payment processors. Nope, I must be some poorly informed naive person who is accepting what Spez said uncritically rather than comparing it to a well documented similar problem that another website faced.

    On the issue of direct targeted death threats why not try making one similar to those posts in a different public forum like facebook and see how fast your account gets banned. This one is common sense as you cannot legally call for the deaths of a specific person in the usa. If you lack the ability to read between the lines Im saying I believe the new accounts were created to make these threats so the sub could get shut down because WPT was anti-Musk/Trump

      Yes I do know about all these situations. I was a moderator for a major sub for nearly a decade until the API fiasco. Of course the more I explain why I would know these things the more you’re going to come after me for “name dropping“ or cringe flexing or whatever. Hell you could probably just say “I don’t believe you” and move on. But I actually knew several Reddit Admins very well, including many who have been fired or left due to the way things have gone.

      Huffman is a bad person and you should not trust him.

        Nothing you list would make you informed about these situations. I modded subs for years so you aren’t taking about hidden knowledge there.

        Knowing admins means what exactly? They aren’t having the conversation about if porn is on the platform or not. They likely aren’t deciding which subs get axed either as that should be handled by an executive not an admin.

        Im not arguing Huffman is a good person only that Reddit wasn’t acting entirely unreasonably in these cases again based on publicly available information regarding why Tumblr axed porn.

          Stop giving Huffman (or his shithole site) the benefit of the doubt. You’re being naive. He has shown us exactly the kind of person he is.

            Says the guy whose POV is “trust me bro I know people who have nothing to do with these decisions”

            I’ll continue thinking you have no idea what you’re talking about compared to the information you can find online about these situations.
