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!

PART 2

POST ABOUT MODS FORCIBLY SWITCHING SUBS BACK TO SFW (teddit)

"What the users want" my ass. Reddit doesn't give 2 shits about what the users want.

If you guys wanna do more and get back at reddit, consider using a program that has gathered hundreds of their advertiser emails an emailing them to try and stop them from advertising, there is a email guide inside as well! USE BCC, NOT TO OR IT WILL SHOW ALL THE COMPANIES EVERYONE YOU EMAILED.

edit:

r/interestingasfuck removed as well

r/ThanksIHateit mod team removed

r/self mod team removed

edit 2:
from r/mildlyinteresting. restoration after they saw the backlash or mod team replacement? we dont know quite yet

r/mildlyinteresting update

edit 3: Reddit removed moderators behind the latest protests before restoring a few of them - restored by a different admin than the one that removed them...

If Reddit is taking the mantle of determining valid content and is editing and changing posts for users without their consent, doesn’t that run the risk they fall afoul of the Safe Harbor clause of DMCA?

IMO they’re getting mighty close to editorial control.

Ooh, an interesting theory, though we'd need an actionable scenario to test it. But in theory ...I think so. Moderation itself no, filtering posts or editing out words or phrases no, but editing posts in a way that changes the intent / message might run afoul of Section 230. Unclear if the courts would apply it per post or for Reddit as a whole, though.

You are definitely onto something. Section 230 is what keeps Reddit alive, get rid of Section 230 protection of reddit GG.

Best course of action, file a complaint that Reddit Inc. Filed falsified documents with the Supreme Court on January 2023. They should not be able to use section 230 as a form of defense anymore, now that Reddit has constantly removed mods and interfered with subbreddits. FYI I modded the original r/EASportsFC and Reddit admins gifted to it r/fifa been looking into this for awhile, but I also eat crayons and not a laywer.

Filed January 2023 with Supreme Court

Reddit, Inc. is a community of online communities.
Reddit provides a platform for Internet users (called
“Redditors”) to connect with each other in communities (called “subreddits”) that are based on shared interests. 2 Reddit is one of the most popular sites on the Internet, with more than 50 million active users every day. But Reddit’s
approach to content moderation makes it different
from many social media companies. As explained below, Reddit relies on a bottom-up, community-based approach where individual users—not the company—take the lead.

Redditors create and organize their own subreddits devoted to their specific interests. They establish their own rules governing what content is acceptable within their subreddit. And those rules are enforced by users themselves.Redditors also directly control the degree to which user-generated content items like posts, comments, and
media are visible on the platform. The display of content on Reddit is thus primarily driven by humans—not by centralized algorithms.

Tldr - fuck reddit.
