got banned on the aro subreddit over saying that humans disgust me & that irl relationships are way too idealized & how allos have no standards.

Lmfao.

Does the truth pain you that much?

have you not been on the progression fantasy subreddit for a while? there's a very malicious compliance reason for their subreddit icon

What malicious compliance? The rainbow on the icon? I've met many of the mods before and I've never thought any of them homophobic at all. But I try to stay away from subreddit drama and usually Reddit itself; I'm too easy to go on drama rabbit holes and waste half a day just reading stuff that doesn't affect me.

So apparently Reddit execs sent a message to moderators of some of the largest subreddits demanding they end the blackout and reopen or they'd replace them with new moderators.

So r/Pics re-opened…with a new rule that all pictures posted must be of John Oliver. So that subreddit is nothing but pics of John Oliver.

Like…imagine for a moment trying to use strongarm threats to enforce a course of action on the userbase of the malicious compliance website.

O CEO do Reddit diz que os subreddits pagos estão chegando este ano

Você pode pagar em breve para acessar certos subreddits, de acordo com comentários compartilhados pelo CEO da Reddit, Steve Huffman, durante um vídeo gravado Ama (pergunte -me qualquer coisa).

Dozens of subreddits are banning X links in their communities

Dozens of subreddits have chosen to block links to X in their communities over the past 24 hours in a move that appears to be gaining momentum on Reddit. They appear to be actively discussing or considering a similar measure with their members. Engadget counted more than two dozen subreddits, which together have millions of members, that have already restricted their communities’ ability to post…

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.

to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:

kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him

I love my cities subreddit because everyone on there is deranged and miserable just like real life

[thebean-17]

You know how there's a subreddit that's called r/egg_irl? (listen, I only know about this because I was curious)

why isn't there something similar but for people who are unsure if they're asexual? Or am I missing something?

[shiutsu]

got temporarily banned from the aro subreddit again over saying I'm glad for being an aro cuz it was apparently invaliding oop's experience who felt the other way & that I'm ""bashing allos""

But apparently others telling them its fine to feel ashamed about own identity is okay??

Clicked on an article from the anthropology subreddit about loneliness and was immediately blasted into oblivion by this opening paragraph

[beckai42]

I feel the same - I spent years of my life on reddit. And yes, I complained about it (and blamed my brother for introducing me to reddit and killing my attention span), but at least once a week I would see something - a post, a comment chain, an in-depth analysis of some incredibly niche subject on r/bestof - and I would think "This is why I love reddit. Where else would you get this sort of content?"

And it turns out the answer to that is... nowhere. Not really, anyway.

Tumblr is great, but only really filled up 2 of the 20-something-plus subreddits I used to browse daily. I've tried to find similar tags and blogs but the user base is different, there's no comment chains, and it's just not the same.

I miss r/bestof, I miss r/howto, I miss r/AskReddit, I miss r/BORU, I miss r/tipofmytongue and r/nostupidquestions and r/twoxchromosomes and a million other communities that have just... gone.

And I mourn.

At the start, I didn’t think much about the Reddit strike. I use Reddit often, but it wasn’t hard for me to just…not use it for a few days. “Yay, let’s strike! Anyway.”

But now, it’s really hitting me just how horrifying all of this is. Three times today I’ve tried to find an answer to some obscure question, found an answer on Reddit, and then been blocked from it because the subreddit was privated. Say what you want about Reddit being an unreliable source, but so much gathered knowledge is currently locked away, and it will be lost forever if Reddit collapses because of the changes. I keep thinking back to last year’s r/place. How beautiful that collaboration was. I even used it in class to try and justify the internet to a teacher, and she found it profoundly meaningful. And now this hub of culture that seemed so permanent last week feels like it’s on borrowed time. All of this history is both frozen in time and on thin ice. There’s nothing to replace it right now. Definitely not tumblr, with its search functions that feel downright malicious.

Maybe I’m just new, but I don’t think community can live on here like it does on Reddit. It can live, but it’s doomed to be nomadic. Posts cycle around for years but you’d struggle to find a specific one without using google. Here, we’re always going to be wanderers, shouting into the void, walking the same familiar tags. Hold onto your mutuals, because they’re all you have. But Reddit is both community and archive. You can find people there, find things, find decade old posts. There’s problems of course, but I think the toxicity is worth it for everything else that it offers. There’s wisdom on Reddit. We will lose so much if we lose it.

To the Reddit refugees. You probably won’t see this post, but if you do, welcome. It’s a mess here, but you can find some things if you’re patient.
