And we're BAAAACK on reddit. Somewhat, with a few MODifications.

Reddit pinned return announcement:

https://www.reddit.com/r/WayOfTheBern/comments/14hddoa/were_baaaaack_kinda_sorta_admins_send_sternly/

In brief, r/WayoftheBern is reopened, but text posts only (I believe crossposting also works), only approved users can make new posts, and every post will have a sticky automod comment that directs users here in the hopes that we can crosspost.

(Doesn't mean links can't be posted, but they'll need to be done in the text body rather than a standalone link.)

We're also implementing a "dark day."

From s/martini-meow:

Return the sub to darkness on Tuesdays in order to support Touch Grass Tuesdays

Also, if you're inspired to go offline on Tuesdays, make efforts to organize, to educate your friends and family, to smell fresh air and appreciate that the fight against pollution should unite us all, irrespective of 'climate change' opinions.

Hell, Tuesdays should be dedicated to seeing friends and family in person, eating real food, and THEN think about organizing. We need to get back to being in charge, people.

Any questions?

Interesting observation - r/RedditRequest isn't auto-denying requests for subs participating in the protest

Consider the level of skill set in Reddit Programmers...

Is it possible that the requests for any sub that is currently private (no matter how long it's been) would also not get auto-denied?

TBF, Reddit was entirely open source until... 2017 I wanna say?

From what that post is saying, nope.

From what that post is saying, nope.

Which would imply that Reddit actually does have an "enemies list."

I made thing over here. HAPPY?! Also I hope more people leave reddit, but not likely until they keep messing it up more. Also some questions here.

  1. I like turtles still here?

  2. People still say this place is right wing extremist Putin loving place?

  3. Has their been noticable traffic increase here?

That all. Also yes I am me and not imposter to Cabbage Boy 3 over there!

Welcome to Saidit!!!

Step One: Go to https://saidit.net/subs
Look (on the right) at all the subs that you have been automatically subscribed to!

Step Two: Fix that.

Interesting.

Not interested in going back to Reddit. It's run it's course.

I will be abandoning Reddit on July 1 when I can no longer use Apollo. I’m sure I’ll still append web searches with ‘Reddit’ at the end, but I imagine I’ll be broken of that habit rather quickly, given that mobile web Reddit is unusable trash that constantly tries to redirect you to the app.

My front page really feels hollow now. I can't be along in noticing this.

[–]MyOther_UN_is_Clever 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

I've noticed that, too.

[–]FThumbStay thirsty, my friends[S] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

And I also noticed the complete lack of any posts critical of the rules change or discussing the protests, in spite of how dominant those conversations would be.

It's a serious Potemkin vibe.

    do you follow louis rossman? Apparently Reddit has been restoring "deleted" content (which also tells you how many people must be doing that).

      Touch Grass Tuesdays

      What if I'm touching sand on other days? Or Tuesday? Does that count?

      EDIT: I'm interning at a old ye new england glass blowing re-enactor. Not going to to the beach. Get your mind out of the optimism gutter \s

      Sounds like it could be fun. I bet you're great at it, too.

      eating real food

      Tuesday is a great day for a hamburger... or maybe a duck dinner -- you bring the ducks 🦆🦆

      (Why is it so hard for some people to say I like turtles?)

      I dunno about this. Reddit WotB has new posts by Moekeo123 and WeCanRememberIt.

      [–]FThumbStay thirsty, my friends[S] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

      I stand corrected.

      and a few others. the place is overrun.

      The comments are overrun by The Usual Suspects, but only a few are posting.

      Those two are dedicated Ukraine trolls and I'm sure they'll come here to get cat toyed, if they aren't already...

      It might be interesting to see what Our Saidit Minders think of those guys.
      They are Not Of The Body, so do they get the same "preferential treatment"?
