“Now we really, really don’t want to mark r/pics as being NSFW,” reads the post. “Doing so would mean that we were no longer discoverable, that we would no longer show up in Reddit’s main feeds, and that millions of people would be deprived of John Oliver’s presence on their screens. It would also have the effect of keeping Reddit from showing advertisements alongside our posts, which we feel would be unfair.”
The wording of this post is key, as Reddit has reportedly stepped in previously to remove mods for marking their communities NSFW as a form of protest. “r/pics will not be made NSFW as a form of protest,” reads the post in r/pics. “Any such change will be enacted in order to comply with Reddit’s policies. If Reddit were to remove moderators from r/pics, that action would go against their own publicly affirmed guidelines.”
I have to say, this is actually hilarious. Sure, the admins will step in and switch them with someone else. But the current mods are doing this in the most hypocritically innocent way possible. Acting stupid and being a nuisance is the best way to get under someone’s skin.
Tomorrow we’ll make tomatoes, the day after we do toast. We will continue until we serve the internet a full English breakfast that will blow everyone’s tits off.
I have been on reddit for just about 12 years now. Something I’ve noticed over time is just how hateful the place has become. A complete outrage machine. Every single sub became filled with it. I’ve filtered so many subreddits over the last few years, it’s insane. I don’t know enough about this place to be sure, but I do...
Roughly 5 years, so I joined when things already went to shit. But I still did notice a decline into utter shit.
What kinda pissed me off the most was the constant know-it-ally behavior. People were wrong but they still defended their standpoint not because they believed in it, but just out of spite. “I don’t care about the truth, I only want to own the others big time!”
Reddit is a site full of bratty children and adults acting like bratty children. The worst part about that is, it is toxic and before you know it you start acting that way yourself. Me included. This whole fuckening was a wakeup call and I am glad it happened.

Reddit slowly became filled with hate
