📢Entire mod team on r/mildlyinteresting (and more subs) removed and locked out of their accounts after changing their rules upon community's request. (They're also switching subs BACK to SFW) - RedditMigration to the "Threadiverse" - kbin.social
kbin.social
**EDIT: GO DM MODS OF YOUR FAVORITE SUBREDDITS AND POLITELY ASK ABOUT MIGRATION!: something as simple as "Hey, I love this community but I no longer use reddit, will you guys be making a community on Kbin or other alternatives? Let me know please, thanks." will work!! We need more voices encouraging migration!**...

Ano ba to…

    Question: what happens to subs like r/interestingasfuck? If they switch it back to sfw, won’t the users still post…questionable stuff? No more reddit account so I’m ootl.

    I honestly can’t believe how stupid they’ve gone about this. Besides the removal of the mods and using their admin accounts to force the subreddits back to SFW without having mods to ensure NSFW content doesn’t get posted, they’re also shadowbanning people saying fuck spez, which is an extremely bad look. /r/mildlyinteresting wasn’t even posting NSFW content despite switching to NSFW, there are so many layers of incompetence to this entire thing.

    It was fun while it lasted.

    I hope that this makes the ignorant realize that this shitstorm is but a preview. Things will get worse and worse as the frog that are the ignorant gets boiled as the Reddit shareholders push to squeeze each and every drop of money that can be squeezed out of the users and their user data.

        I don’t think the Chinese government Tencent is looking to profit from Reddit monetarily.

        What I think is happening, and I may be completely off the mark here, is that Tencent’s share is for propping up a means for which China can propagate and legitimize their propaganda. /r/Sino and /r/GenZedong are in Reddit afterall.

        In a weird twist, I think if Tencent had more control, we might see a more user-friendly Reddit, while at the same time, shadowbanning any voice that’s critical of China.
