r/ModCoord: The admins in charge of demodded subreddits are mass-removing images of Huffman previously shared on them
the OP asked how are they gonna remove them all, so I replied they’ll run a query for terms like “fuck spez”. only to find my comment invisible, because they’re already blocking it. spez protective word filter, it’s active right now.
He also gave the moderator of /r/jailbait a singular trophy “pimp daddy” that no one else has received.
Jesus, what a shit show. Can they really be thinking their path will end well?
I unfortunately feel like it probably will end well for them, there really isn’t a mainstream alternative for reddit. Lemmy isn’t that easy to get into as an average user and the information on the reddit that have amassed over the years is just insane, I assume a lot of people are going to keep using reddit as if nothing has happened.
I don’t know why people are saying Lemmy is difficult. I’m as dumb as a box of hammers and all I did was Google “Lemmy World”, clicked the top link, created an account, subbed to about 80 subs, and started posting.
I have no idea what instances are or the Fediverse. I’m typing in subs and clicking submit.
I just kept crawling and it kept working.
I think the nerds (and I’m not using that as an insult) have kind of shot everyone in the foot by over-explaining the fediverse. I’ve yet to see a truly simple, concise, short explanation and how all this works is just kind of… a lot. It’s really neat, and I also get wordy when I’m excited about something so I totally get it (I mean, look at this comment. I get it lol). But when it takes more than a paragraph or two to explain what something is without even getting into how to navigate once you’re in, it’s intimidating for a lot of people. I had to watch YouTube videos to try to figure mastodon out, and still didn’t get my questions answered. It’s easier to find content I’m interested in on Lemmy and kbin, but after all the articles and chatter I’ve seen, I honestly expected it to be a lot more difficult. I was like, it’s social media. How hard can it be? And then I saw all the hype, I held off for a while before joining. The focus is about how instances work and whatnot, which IS really interesting and wonderful and neat, but the focus needs to shift a liiiittle bit toward telling people how to use the sites once they’re there, IMO.
Reddit admins rn:
Gee, it’s a good thing there aren’t dozens of invisible ASCII characters, and even more confusables, some which match the English letters to the pixel!
I used this to get around filters all the time, but I don’t need it to work anymore since I don’t use reddit now so have fun lads and ladies!
We did it boys, we hurt his feelings!
The fact that u/Spez now has a negativity filter implemented is just embarrassing for the entire company. Glad I moved on.
This guy is turning more and more into a Musk wannabe by the day.
According to the internet spez’s net worth is 8 to 10 million dollars. Even if that’s wildly incorrect, he isn’t even worth an amount of money Musk loses or gains in a few minutes of a normal day.
So if I updated all my comments to say fuck speak, they’d auto hide them for me?
very likely atm if you do anything en mass you get flagged or banned , the admins are very sensible over there atm.
Seems like they have plenty of money to spend on THESE enhancements.
This is a terrible way to handle this… Let them continue. I’m happy here.
Imagine you’re so sad, you create a filter to remove comments of people rightfully calling you out on the internet.
He called Reddit a ‘democratic city’ where discussions can take place. Well, sounds a lot like he’s just a very intolerant mayor who wants to control the flow of discussions when they are about him.

He doesn’t realize how much if a life fail is having a filter like that, does he?
Fuck u/spez
They can filter this
