u/Dalimey (who appropriately identifies as “LAWFUL STUPID” shared a warning from reddit admins issuing their final warning against making the sub NSFW (despite the fact that the users of the sub are in full support). They promised to reply to it with “roll for persuasion or intimidation” if they got 10k upvotes, and here is the result. Outstanding move.

        I’m not the only mod, there’s a solid group of who chat regularly in a discord, but I am historically the most active (although spicythuder is doing amazing work, if this was a competition they’d be winning rn lol) and do most of the public facing stuff.

          So how do you expect it to shake out, btw? Do you think if there’s enough centaur cock on the sub they’ll be forced to let you stay? Are you expecting to get demodded regardless? I’m deeply curious.

          Well it would be a nice way to support Lemmy besides voluntary donations. You`d pay the Lemmy-Hosters and get something out of it that would be able to give back to the community (with gilding) at the same time.

    For what it’s worth, the admins won’t actually see that, they disabled responses on those messages. That’s why it says “private moderator note”, it’s a note only the mod team can see

    (It’s still funny, though)

      I just assumed admins can see the private mod notes.

        You shouldn’t make any assumptions that depend on Reddit functioning properly or there being any logic to its disjointed systems lol

      • @SwallowsDick

        Admins can see absolutely everything on the site, I assume

          191 year ago

          Technically they have the ability to do anything there, whether they have dedicated tools to make it easy or worth while is likely a different story. Also heavily depends on functionality of the site.

              That is correct, though there is a difference between deliberately editing comments in the database and getting pinged for a response. If the system doesn’t tell or notify them explicitly that the person replied and they’re not looking for a reply they just won’t see it.

            I just assume admins have access to prod databases and can run queries against it.

            SELECT * FROM saved WHERE username = 'noodle';

            UPDATE post SET link = "https://youtube.com/rickroll" WHERE username = 'noodle';

            That kinda thing.

      • @average650

        I’m sure they have access to them.

        Can? Yes. Do they? Probably not.

        You can go the NCD route and actively send a response (in their case it really was justified as the sub should have been nsfw to begin with), but in the end they also folded.

        Yup that’s me, never spent a cent and when Alien Blue shut down I received coins and some other shit. I didn’t realise for years that I could give awards 😂

      I subscribed to Reddit premium before the whole clusterfuck. If you’re on Premium you might have a big pool of coins to spend on awards even after you cancel it.

      I actually like awards a lot. I think it’s an especially reasonable idea as a tip jar for the people running an instance. I’d be happy to give a small recurring contribution to instances I like, and if it gave me the ability to identify things I really like I’d consider that gravy.

        You could open an issue on Lemmy’s GitHub for this feature. It sounds really interesting. The developers should be aware of such features and how many people are interested on them.

  • @Dark_Blade

    The only content worth following on Reddit is this drama, and this post (being nsfw) can’t be accessed by 3PAs.

    Admins dun goof’d. They got rid of the best people on the site.
