Reddit admin doesn’t need an explanation, or justification. They’ll do it anyway.

In case you missed what happened to r/MildlyInteresting, Reddit has declared war on the mods.

I know, but I want them see justifying taking their mod privileges away because it has became an NSFW sub. It just sounds extremely rediculus to be doing that to a sub literally named “r/anime_titties”

That’s the thing they’re already stopped trying to justify. Why bother with that when you can lock a mod out of their mod account?

Or they could ignore the sub. It’s just one sub going NSFW, they don’t have to deal with them all equally

@zekiz if you read the modcoord message sent by admins, they argue that if users are used to seeing sfw there and suddenly see nsfw it’s bad. Which could mean that a_t would not be complying with these guidelines I assume.

They’re removing more mods for staying dark or malicious compliance shenanigans. Whatever is left after this will be shells and shills.

Maybe they will replace the volunteer mods with people who get paid for their labor.

They forcibly removed (and banned, at least in some cases) the mods. It’s really wild.

Reddit admins aren’t even pretending to try to explain their decisions. The gloves have come off and they don’t care about justifying their actions to the mod communities they’re wiping. It’s a matter of time until every subreddit has either fallen in line or been ‘reset’ unfortunately.

This is the kind of action that sways the rational folks who were indifferent. Those folks make for decent discussion, and I preemptively welcome them.

The admins pay their rent doing what the execs tell them to do. Much as I would like for a system where the moderators also got compensated for their work, not being so lends them independence from the platform, and allows them to be more responsive to their communities.

I get why some of the admins are doing it, but “just following orders” has never been a good look.

Sorry for using your comment as a springboard to soapbox. >_>

So the original Anime_titties was not actually for posting pics of anime titties??

The mod team on r/worldpolitics didn’t want to moderate properly and so folks tries to post anime pics and eventually the sub became dedicated to anime.

As part of the joke those folks also made r/anime_titties which ended up becoming the moderated sub to talk about world politics.

I really hope the real anime_titties community comes here, some of the best non-eurocentric news without focusing overmuch on one country or region.

I was subbed there too. It’s actually a pretty good news subreddit.

Nope. It was a sub to talk about geopolitical news. Not a joke. That’s actually what the sub was about.

That’s one of those little things that I really will miss about reddit. Same deal with /r/trees and /r/marijuanaenthusiasts. Guess which one was for the arborists.

Those guys were always super cool about it on both sides though, lol. People would post questions about actual trees on /r/trees and a horde of friendly stoners would point them towards the other sub. You’d think you were just being fucked with until you actually went there, and lo, dendrology.

Backing that up from the opposite side of the fence. Questions about actual marijuana would sometimes get joke responses, but they were always light-hearted and they would always have one or several users explain and link them the correct sub. Gone are the days of posting about obtaining “contraband” that turned out to be magnolia seeds, I guess. There’s no reason to carry that joke here, as frankly I think it would harm discoverability too much.

I mean, they aren’t going to feel the need to explain themselves, but I suspect that this will make for quite the New York Times article.

Yes. That’s what I’m talking about. It would just sound so funny. I can already see the headline “Reddit banns r/Anime_Titties Moderator for allowing anime titties”

What is funny is that tits itself aren’t even pornographic so you technically don’t even have to “warn” anyone.

@tal May not be “porn” but it’s still not something I feel like explaining to my boss.

A pretty common convention on Reddit, started by, if I recall correctly, /r/earthporn, is that many major subreddits, like /r/foodporn and such, devoted to non-pornographic images end in “-porn”, where “-porn” just means “attractive image”. If you’re going to be browsing images on Reddit during work hours and the issue that your boss is going to have is with you browsing a non-pornographic site that has a pornographic name, you’re probably in for some explaining anyway.

EDIT: Oh, if you mean that you’re objecting to tits in general being on the sub rather than reading news on /r/anime_titties, disregard.
