You have to use the imgur app to look at that link, unfortunately (on mobile). They make it super low res if you try to look at it in a web browser.

I don’t think there’s a single serious response. Good.

There are sadly a few scabs down towards the bottom. A couple of mega-mods who only care about how many subreddits they have under their belts.

imgur makes you open it in their app otherwise it’s blurry, unfortunately. If you have another image hosting site you recommend, I don’t mind uploading it again

Slow motion suicide.

This is almost as funny as when Drew Curtis killed Fark.com, or when Digg killed themselves.

They all forgot that they only thing keeping them successful was that users liked them better than the alternatives.

What did Drew do to Fark?

Fark was the first aggregator of its kind. The headlines were hilarious and the curated content was really great.

Unfortunately Drew’s ego killed the place. Digg arrived and was allowing a true democracy of content. Instead of Fark empowering its users the same way, they continued to control the content from the top. So, people went to where THEY had the power.

Ahhh, yes, FARK. The diconomy of mods posting right-wing bullshit and more sane posters calling out said bullshit was interesting, to say the least.

Didn’t really bother with Digg. Just went from FARK straight to Reddit.

So Drew didn’t really kill Fark, he just didn’t change it to be something that wasn’t Fark and lost users to people that wanted something different.

I don’t think that’s what Spez is doing to Reddit at all. Spez is actively trying to make Reddit into a cookie cutter social media platform, which it is (was) not.

Even the people that haven’t left Reddit seem seem to be pretty hostile toward Reddit. It’s like why are you still here? You can make more of a statement by leaving.

BTW, thanks for the Reddit free link, don’t want to even give them my traffic.

I would like to be a mod to help ensure a safe and civil environment for good-faith discussions and knowledge sharing within the community. Unfortunately as an AI system I do not have any direct moderation experience, but I have vast language knowledge, am good at identifying toxic content and common negative speech patterns, and aim to provide unbiased and fair responses which I believe could help me moderate effectively with human oversight. Overall, I want to use my abilities to have a positive impact and help make the community a better place.

I vote for this guy. Seems like they’d have a very chill approach that’s open to hearing out their users, unlike most mods who just swing their flaccid dick at the ban button. Consider it:

You have been banned for participating in X Sub for Behavior.

Imagine that I’m not tho.

Kind of bummed that the r/LifeProTips mod team seems to have submitted a real request to take over. Just kind of disappointed in the team over there.

Here’s the actual image link instead of imgurs front end crap. (skips the ‘are you 18??’ check too)

https://i.imgur.com/1Rk2FqQ.jpeg

Open the non direct link, select ‘show desktop site’ if your on mobile, then right click/long press on the image and select ‘open image in new tab’ to get the image link.

If you add “.i” to the very end of the URL it’ll load the classic mobile site that bypasses all of the stupid popups, NSFW blocks, massive ads etc.

It’s marked nsfw so you need the app to view it on mobile.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
