Holy shit. They banned ChapoTrapHouse as well. It happened at almost 10 AM San Francisco time. The admins must have signed on to work, did a Zoom stand up meeting, spez wrote up his Update To Our Content Policy post, and then they pulled the trigger.
It's insane. I don't know what the formula is. KotakuInAction is still alive, PoliticalCompassMemes is still alive, fucking weekendgunnit is still alive. I love weekendgunnit, but seeing as their sub is a public never-ending LARP fantasy about literally blowing up members of the ATF using tannerite, I'm thoroughly confused about how they survived and fucking ChapoTrapHouse got the hammer. I genuinely thought they'd all get banned before the admins even noticed who we were.
Yes, I'm aware they're being ironic, but so was everyone else.
I have to wonder how we even got on the list. I imagine the board members sitting there in a Zoom meeting while they're trying to come up with 2000 subs they're trying to ban. They reach 1950, but spez isn't satisfied; they need to hit the big 2 Gs to really make a statement. The board members sit there, frustrated. They genuinely just want to sign off and spend some time with their kids.
A 33 year old Asian woman speaks up : "Uhm, what about this ... Cum ... town? Board? It's pretty active, and just from the name alone it sounds weird."
"Are you sure it's not just pornography? We don't ban pornography of consenting adults."
"No, I mean, yeah, they do post some porn there a lot, but it's mostly just a bunch of stupid memes and stuff ... they keep calling women whores and saying Dudes Rock and stuffโ"
"Yeah, got it, put it on the list."
I'm genuinely despondent. I might take the day off of work. These admins trying to appease an insatiable mob don't know what these communities mean to people. All the classic posts, memes, genuine online relationships formed between pseudonymous handles, etc., are all permanently gone,all because spez is trying to reform Reddit's image so that the investors on Sand Hill Rd don't see his company as "too hot to touch".
I want to thoroughly apologize for reiterating, over and over, that we'd be fine, that there are way worse subreddits active on Reddit, that the admins are probably fine with our edgy jokes so long as we stay private and insular. I was clearly wrong and I shouldn't have said that to you guys. I should've been more concerned. I should've done a full back up of the sub's top 25k posts. I never knew we were this active on their radars. I'm so sorry.
I'm going to chat with merkle-root on what the next step is. Previously, I would've said that we should just move to a new subreddit and reform our behavior. That it would suck to stay on Reddit, but if we have any hope of having a thoroughly active forum, it would have to be on Reddit, because the number of people who would sign up for an offsite forum is so pitifully low that it's not worth the effort. But they got ChapoFuckingTrapHouse. The website cannot be trusted no matter how good our behavior is. We have to find somewhere else to go. I think a good proportion of our active users were only on Reddit for this sub anyways, so we might have a pretty high conversion rate. I still have the full list of approved users, I'll try to write a bot to tell them to come here. But what we really need to do is pick on one place that serves as our Schelling point, if we splinter off into a hundred different places, none of them will work.
This website has no draw to it at all for me anymore. Apart from ever smaller and irrelevant communities Reddit must host the most bland and superficial user base of almost any social media.
it'd be fine if i could still google reviews of leather shoes that i want to buy, but google searching has gone to such shit that it'd be more helpful to use goodyearwelt.
I'm pretty sure that the admins are watching where we migrate. Although our posts are removed, (I think) they have us tagged somehow and can coordinate which subs to watch next. This is the same with Ch*pos. Just a couple of the other people from cumtown posting on this subreddit is probably going to show the admins that this subreddit is problematic and they'll have it under a magnifying glass.
I can probably use this to my advantage and start posting in subs I hate with really skewed comments that are in a gray area of rule breaking.
Tons of bans, simultaneously. I was on ConsumeProduct (๐คฎ) after someone in Cumtown called it the canary in the coalmine, and both literally got banned just as I was there. RIP kings.
Lmao who cares ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Because someone trying to defend their unreasonably hated interests is just soooooo fucking funny. I'm only here for this post. Sorry kid, but I don't get off on laughing at other's expense so I'm going to gtfo of this degenerate cesspool asap. People wanna get rid of furries. Well how about places like this instead? The world would be infinitely better without drama. This sub is like the young people version of watching the Hallmark channel.

How do you even justify banning a private sub? It's not like the average r*dditor can get exposed to it

They banned /r/200acres where we literally just posted about farming and Christianity lol. Reddit's jannies are just seething.
