Reddit admin doesn’t need an explanation, or justification. They’ll do it anyway.
In case you missed what happened to r/MildlyInteresting, Reddit has declared war on the mods.
I know, but I want them see justifying taking their mod privileges away because it has became an NSFW sub. It just sounds extremely rediculus to be doing that to a sub literally named “r/anime_titties”
That’s the thing they’re already stopped trying to justify. Why bother with that when you can lock a mod out of their mod account?
Second Update:
Anime_titties is open again and disregarded the results of the poll.
From one of the mods:
I chose to open the sub back up to news and to disregard all of the polls and comments. Call me a dictator or a power mod or whatever you want, I can take it.
We created and built this community from nothing to be the best platform for world news on Reddit. We have accomplished that in a lot of ways without much promotion or assistance from Reddit Inc. Regardless of what corporate does or does not do, we have an obligation to continue what we created and to shine light on stories and opinions hard to find on this website.
I’m not sorry.
Yeah just saw that. Fuck them
So the original Anime_titties was not actually for posting pics of anime titties??
The mod team on r/worldpolitics didn’t want to moderate properly and so folks tries to post anime pics and eventually the sub became dedicated to anime.
As part of the joke those folks also made r/anime_titties which ended up becoming the moderated sub to talk about world politics.
Ahhh, just like /r/trees and /r/marijuanaenthusiasts! That’s fun.
I really hope the real anime_titties community comes here, some of the best non-eurocentric news without focusing overmuch on one country or region.
Oh, thank you for this! It was nice having a news source about literally any other country than mine, and I was sad to see one of my few actually useful subs go down the drain

100 years from now … Anime Titties is the defacto source for world news
Can you explain how I would subscribe to them on kbin?
As you see there, their “home” address is https://lemmy.world/c/anime_titties/. That gives them a wider fediverse “address” of anime_titties@lemmy.world.
Plug that into the correct format URL on your home site - as a kbin.social user, that would be https://kbin.social/m/anime_titties@lemmy.world - and from there you subscribe as normal.
Thank you for breaking it down the way you did. It’s the first time I’ve been able to build/read the urls/addresses where it actually makes sense to me.
It’s felt like everyone was saying “the bathroom is to the left” to me in Spanish, but I don’t speak Spanish. You just pulled out Google translate for me lol.
No problem!
To complete the explanation then, the only other thing I might add is that if you plug that community into your home site’s URL format and it doesn’t show up, it might mean you’re the first person on kbin,social to notice that community. In that case, plug the fediverse “address” (aaa@bbb.ccc) into the search gizmo by your username at the top right and your instance will sync up with it.
Reddit admins aren’t even pretending to try to explain their decisions. The gloves have come off and they don’t care about justifying their actions to the mod communities they’re wiping. It’s a matter of time until every subreddit has either fallen in line or been ‘reset’ unfortunately.
This is the kind of action that sways the rational folks who were indifferent. Those folks make for decent discussion, and I preemptively welcome them.
I mean, they aren’t going to feel the need to explain themselves, but I suspect that this will make for quite the New York Times article.
