    This stuff is funny, but that’s the problem, Redditors love funny events like The Snap, and they love drama and controversy

    You can see it’s not hurting Reddit at all maybe even helping them

    The real solution is to share links to Lemmy communities as replacements and just leave Reddit, turn off whatever auto moderation tools they have and just let the place burn, or maybe even worse be overly strict on moderation lol

    "r/Horny is now a “Christian Minecraft server.”

    That shit is genius. Not a fan of all this mess. But it has led to new and cool places while creating some funny as hell content with the fallout.

      A Red Bull Formula 1 team themed Minecraft server?

      (Christian Horner is the team principal for Red Bull Racing. And is also married to Geri “Ginger Spice” Halliwell).

    @itmightbethew These are all great but /r/interestingasfuck seems to have hit on something that could have a real impact: Reddit apparently can’t sell advertising on NSFW subs. Imagine if /r/pics and /r/aww and other tip subs just opened themselves up to whatever, it would down Reddit in porn and destroy the site’s reputation. I’m sure the admins would try to force them back to SFW, but it could be a powerful tactic.

      What are the admins going to do? Moderate? If the moderators are approving NSFW posts, the sub is NSFW… Heck I’m not sure if they have to go that far. On r/cigars every single post is NSFW because cigars are Satan. Just do that to all the subs so every single post requires you to click to reveal the NSFW content. It’ll be like NSFW roulette. Heads, it’s a helpful guide to setting up a service on the cloud. Tails, it’s goatse.
