It has to be an early April fools joke right? To change the usage of the sub so drastically and to think they would keep their audience. If it's a joke it's legendary if it isn't than the mods are kind of d-slur.
I'm not a fan of gore so watchpeopledie wasn't for me but r/hmft wasn't that bad and very rarely was it grotesque. Its super easy to not see shit you don't want to see, just don't sub. When reddit alienates its user base but fails to attract the boomer crowd it so desperately wants I hope we're able to celebrate together in some capacity

Reddit jumped the shark a few years ago but they could monetize it, only they are too busy trying to make all the money rather than some of it.
Basically they could ignore the SJW outrage machines every time a "problematic" sub gets mentioned in some woke internet publication like Slate or wherever, and focus on the ability to target advertise for companies that don't give a shit but just want money.
For now that would mean you don't get adds from the companies trying to play wokanmoics but you stay open and keep your user base.
The other issue is they are in the most nutty far left city in the most far left state. They are surrounded daily by these types and probably get social pressure to "change reddit for the better" blah blah.
I hadn't really bought in to the idea that Reddit was dying because it seems like their goal is to turn it into facebook-lite, which is working, but seeing their ranking drop from something like the #4 website in the world to something like #26 in the span of about a year really drilled in the idea that this website is on its last legs. Their business model just isn't feasible.

Anyone willing to explain this whole situation with auto moderator bots to me? Don't usually visit this sub. Are the keywords for deleting comments usually this strict or is the whole site taking an odd turn?
(Came here from link after seeing what happened to HMFT)
Admins were caught deleting fairly innocuous banter containing slurs in this subreddit and a few others as part of an "anti-evil" taskforce. When asked about why they did it when the comments were not against site rules, they shrugged and said the rules were wrong. Since this sub is already on the brink of being banned, mods decided to have automod block common slurs so admins have no excuse to ban. People got mad at the bot so mods started adding more and more words to annoy people even more.
People who can't keep themselves from using slurs in 2019 god damn it aren't welcome here. If automoderator removes your comment you should reflect on how your language might effect marginalized groups and use it as a learning experience.
How do people not realize this is a fucking joke? I mean the animal thing is funny enough but then that redacted admin message is hilarious but obviously them trolling.

They think the sub is getting too big. So they are deliberately annoying people in hopes they leave.

It's a prank bro. They are tagging submissions "stop reporting this" lol
1 charming_tatum 2019-03-28
You're probably right. Like an early April fool joke that people are more likely to fall for. Dankmemes did something similar
1 ManBearFridge 2019-03-28
They also have /r/partyparrot in the sidebar which I'm assuming wasn't there before.

Slur culling isn't a prank, the admins unironically consider calling someone an f-[slur] harassment now.
1 NatieB 2019-03-28
The sidebar says
now, so I don't think it was a joke at the time, just one mod freaking out over the PM from the admins.
1 SendTheEnvoy 2019-03-28
As long as the admins Swartz themselves when their precious site goes down the tubes, it'll be worth it.
1 d-amazo 2019-03-28

And pretty soon that’s all reddit will be animal subs and a shell of its former self.
1 The_Great_I_Am_Not 2019-03-28
Reddit has been a shell of its former self ever since the digg and chan migrations, and at the same time the smartphone "revolution".
1 AlveolarPressure 2019-03-28
It's unironically hilarious to watch the admins kill this site in real time
1 POST_BUSSY 2019-03-28
They need to kill it faster so that there is momentum for migration to a different platform.

1 Alimentas 2019-03-28
The admins are actively killing the site. All they had to do is cool it with redesigns and r-slurded rules, reddit wouldn't be going anywhere.
1 911roofer 2019-03-28

The current COPE regarding it is the Chinese using the internet more.
1 gfour 2019-03-28
Then global ad $ will flow to China instead of reddit. Still bad for their bottom line.
1 throwaway-familyhelp 2019-03-28
Are Chinese allowed to go on reddit?
