    Reddit decides to “crack down” on the protests instead of realizing that it’s all because they’re being jerks.

    Serious question. Can’t the mods delete the subs entirely? Wouldn’t that be the biggest blow? To have to start all of these subs over from scratch?

      They can, but Reddit can just as easily restore it, with a blank mod list. But based on their actions I wouldn’t be surprised if they outright ban any mods that try this.

        Would all of the people that subscribed to the mod still be there or would it be a blank slate?

        I think this should be a last ditch, unannounced effort. Just do it and bounce.

    They should just migrate to other platforms or join us. I don’t understand why would they stay on a website hostile to its users like this. They want to protest on the same platform that is the source of the problem…

      Because Reddit is an addictive pattern. I’m still getting used to post-Reddit life. It’s been very very similar to quitting smoking for me. It’s been genuinely disruptive to my life. I get why people just want to maintain the status quo on their personal lives rather than figure out how to move forward

    I find it sad for all the useful information on that website ( which, if you come across, do repost it on a lemmy community! ) and the subreddits dedicated to helping others out. It would be great if we could build that on the fediverse, but I can imagine wanting to reach as many people as possible when you’re helping out veterans for example.

    “We are now stuck in a difficult position as we do not want the community to die”

    Feels to me like they dug their own grave and now complain that the user’s are problem.

    What are they expecting after they remove moderators and remove the nsfw status? That the users keep posting? They aren’t dumb and I could imagine that some or most people will probably stop posting there.

      There is a whole set of users who apparently think the mods are in the wrong and that Reddit is right. Whether these are real users, and not armies of bots using ChatGPT to generate content, is up for debate. (But they’re definitely bots lol)

        The admins were also deleting comments. I had at least a few disappear without explanation or notice. Could be many more, I have no way of even knowing.

    Gotta love the ones that are actually NSFW that they want changed to not. Naked selfies is pretty much the tip of the iceberg with Cyberpunk, with a lot of gore and violence and sex underneath. And there’s some truly fucked up shit that I don’t even want to describe that’s there too, as a side quest continuation of main story events.

      The reddit app is only marked PG and not 18+ in the Google Play store - maybe someone should let them know about the content that’s not behind nsfw filters any more?

          Same, I wonder if it’s changed because of all the drama? The rating dropped from like 4.3 to 3.2 stars in the last month, I’d guess people were also reporting it for having mature content.

    I only go to Reddit now because of one or two forums that don’t exist on here yet, But the more I see stories like this, the more I’m inclined to just say screw it and nuke my account.

      Honestly, at this point, my plan is to nuke my account. The only communities on their that I really check that aren’t on here have devolved into mindless rage-bait. Probably a so-long and good riddance situation.

    Reddit are past the point of no return for me. They could reverse all their API changes but I’m not going back. They’ve show their true colours.

    The final warning was enough to cause the moderators for r/Military—a forum partly devoted to helping veterans—to stop operating as a NSFW subreddit. “We are now stuck in a difficult position as we do not want the community to die,” the moderator team wrote.

    Cowards.

      I mean, they’ve got their priorities right. It’s reddit’s fault that they’re killing their own communities. We should try to reach out in subs like this and help them set up on lemmy.

      Did you wear the uniform? What are you doing to help prevent the 22 suicides a day among our service members?

      This is what the military subs have had to weigh when making these calls.

        I have met people who was in the service enough to know the struggle is real.

        It’s just hard to believe that they depend on Reddit for their support system.

          Not enough. Still too much stigma attached to behavioral health.

          That’s why there is so much need for additional support from elsewhere.

          Another thing I never see anyone in US is talking about: If US veterans need so much help (and they really do), what is happening to people in counties they were fighting against? And those are not only soldiers, but whole families. Everyone ober there has witnessed same shit they did, kids, elders, moms…

            “Developed” countries see “undeveloped” countries (or whatever euphemism you want to use) as Others. We may be the target of their charity or of their pity sometimes, but we remain a mysterious monolith. I’m reminded of that whenever someone says “The US is [generally something bad] among developed countries”.

            I’m not angry about it. I get it. I still wish it wasn’t that way.

            As trivia, at least one “undeveloped” country has universal healthcare.

    I just got my data takeout request granted (110 MB) yesterday, so time to follow up with a GDPR request to then nuke everything. It’s the only way to make sure.

      How did they send it out to you, via message or email.

      I submitted my gdpr a couple weeks ago, but my accounts all used temp emails that I can’t access anymore so I wouldn’t get it if they sent it there.

        The normal data export request gives you a pm with a link with an expiration date.
