What's a Reddit?

A piece of shit now

Not just porn! Since reddit only has one such tag you can apply to posts, many subreddits were using the NSFW tag for a wider variety of reasons such as spoilers, content which may contain unsettling material (aka "triggers"), and more!

The stoners on Reddit got screwed - many of the weed subs got the banhammer, and the rest got NSFW'd because spez wants Reddit as G-rated as Disney for the IPO.

You can't look at Reddit at all on third party apps now. Or did I miss a change to their API change?

[–] NAETE@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Lmao this puritanical turn from all these tech companies over the last 5-6 years I don't get it. All they are going to do is speed self-immolation. What is happening to the internet.

Which is kind of funny because one of the reasons Reddit got so big was because of the pornography

🎶 crackin' down on fun, over at Reddit🎶

[–] saltybrownsfan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

That was like, half the reason I used reddit, lol. Otherwise it's just a shithole full of "aHkshUaly" people.

Take your clothes off, or give me something actually interesting and insightful to read, or fuck right off.

Isn't that how Tumblr also died?

Shit platform hits rock bottom and continues digging
