Mods are protesting changes to Reddit API. Reddit said they’d remove mods who permanently close subs. Instead, some mods are changing the rules of their subs

That’s because when they initially said “anything goes” it became untagged porn and allegedly brigading but that post was taken down before I saw it.
Also is it homophobic to tag femboy porn with someone you hate’s name? Because there was some discussion about if it was or wasn’t kinda homophobic, because it’s pointlessly implying that the guy you don’t like is doing gay sex acts

Doesn’t have to be porn per say. It’s when the sub goes 18+ for reasons. /r/formuladank was talking about it because some of their gruesome accidents. Which would be pretty nsfw but not nudity.

So Reddit made 3rd party apps pay 20M dollar a year to acess the API and that was an obvious attempt to kill the 3rd party apps so people protested by shutting down subreddits but they had to put them back on so they don't lose thier moderator status and now people found wayto protest.

u/entopiczen Jun 20 '23
He has a show called Last Week Tonight, which is a pretty popular comedy politics show.
It often has a solid format of introducing a topic most people don't think about and spending a good 15 minutes on it.
But it's a comedy show, so take it with a grain of salt, one should not build their political identities from this stuff, but it's not trying to be top tier Journalism and he is very open about not taking himself so seriously, and usually has the caveat of, but this politician I'm talking about has a serious job, and you should be worried if they are saying dumb shit.
Not everyone's thing, and comedy usually throws bias and accusations together without supporting arguments, so it can be frustrating when it happens, but still I have seen some quite informative segments about so many random things about America.

I personally think the moderators of these protest subs are going to far, they are harming the general reddit user far more that reddit itself. I think this has become childish and quite honestly offensive in some cases. All over the fact they can't use a third party app, if that's preventing them from being a moderator then it's simple, don't be a moderator.
Down vote me if you want, but I'm tired of being dragged into someone else's squabble.
