Spez said in an interview I saw a few minutes ago that they would not be forcing subs open. Do you mean to tell me Spez -- Steve Huffman, CEO of Reddit -- is a liar? Who woulda thunk it?

One of the legal advice subs -- I can't remember which -- was going forward requiring post approval from mods because they value community safety. But as they are unpaid volunteers they estimate it could take up to 14 days for post approval.

I did it after the "noise" memo leaked. 12+ years of Reddit gone. I left Digg in the Exodus and I'm not taking Reddit's shit either.

extreme far right buffoonery

Like the title said, it basically started off with Nazism. No devolution of discussion required.

Specifically she was thrown under the bus by kn0thing (Alex Ohanion).

At this rate he'll be in a bunker next week claiming mods have taken over the Reddit headquarters.

Unfortunately the tools for mass editing and deletion will probably stop functioning on July 1.

Devs said that was discussed and rejected by Reddit. They're stuck on that $12,000 for 50M figure. Because the goal is killing the apps.

In a sense, yes it speaks to the downfall of all these platforms. But it's not a new phenomenon. Enshitification, specifically as a result of venture capitalist investment money.

He's mad the value of his stake in the company is going down the toilet before the IPO.

They've already moved nuclear weapons to Belarus with their regular forces.

This is not actually about pornographic content. Florida already had laws to protect from actually obscene material.

Drag queen story time and drag acts that do not contain nudity are not pornographic.

Artemis is going to be cross platform I'm pretty sure. Which is good. On Android, Jerboa is okay but still kinda rough.

He's not afraid of any communists. The "communists" he and the Republicans want to harm are anyone that oppose them on any issue.

Yeah I would suggest they found /r/PicsForScabs /r/GifsForScabs, etc etc etc if any users have a problem with the new direction the communities have voted to go in.

The movie thing is also quite an apt example. It is totally legal for a child to see an R-rated movie with their parent. R rated movies are allowed to have nudity, simulated sex scenes, etc etc etc. Much more inappropriate for a child than being read an age-approriate story by a drag queen or seeing someone in drag dancing and singing on stage. But this law about drag performance makes no exceptions for parental responsibility. A parent could conceivably be convicted of a misdemeanor for taking their child to a family friendly drag show.

It gets slightly annoying when you want to use a non-recommended extension (like RES). You either need to swap to Nightly or something like Fennec (on F-Droid). Then you must curate your own collection of extensions on addons.mozilla.org and finally set your browser to pull from that collection.

You have to be rich to climb Everest as well (permits, gear, guides, training, etc) and tons of people have died doing that.

If they had a leak their problems are over given the pressures involved.

Yeah Power Delete Suite doesn't respect the timeout limits for edit requests so it misses things sometimes.

Only for Lemmy. Not natively for Kbin, although you can access it via federated Lemmy instances.

It doesnt' belong to Reddit. You give them a license (transferrable and non-revocable) to use the content. But in the EU that is superceded by the GDPR.

No. The only thing they don't have that immunity for is the employee statements made on behalf of the company, etc. The whole publisher/platform distinction based on content moderation is just pulled out of someone's ass.

Especially doesn't look strong when his plane took off in the middle of this whole thing for Valdai, where he has a residence.

I think if I were modding one of the remaining subs I'd just keep going and make Reddit keep digging a hole. Replacing the mods for a few of the subs? No problem. For all of the protesting subs? Yeah have fun with that Reddit.

There are screenshots of the mod log showing the "Moderator Code of Conduct" admin account going in and reverting the NSFW settings on multiple subs. Yeah screenshots aren't always trustworthy but that's really the best you're going to get with this. It's not out of character for Spez though, so I'm not giving Reddit the benefit of the doubt.

The Roommates.com case was about a questionnaire they had that was in violation of fair housing laws. They weren't immune there under 230 because that was something the company itself put out. From what I understand it wasn't just them taking moderation action or management of user-generated content.

Yeah but with a nice golden parachute.

I noticed the YouTube Addon for Kodi has started throwing errors about age restricted videos not being available outside of official YouTube apps or the site itself.

Publicity and trying to get ahead of the message are one thing. But on the other hand, he's telling blatant lies that are easily refuted with audio recordings, transcripts, the actual e-mails, etc. I'm guessing there's actually some revenue impact already for him to go from "It'll pass" to this freakout they're having over there.
