    Yeah. I meant pointless in the sense of “we as the reddit community want to change the companies business strategy shortly before an IPO”.

    You being brought here (same as me) through the backlash-posts is great. But unless certain highly frequented subs go dark PERMANENTLY I dont see much that could sway the reddit leadership towards a more community friendly approach.

    They took my RiF. The CEO seems like an absolute bastard. It got more and more toxic over the years. I can take some abuse but this was a bit too much. If it continues to be popular I’ll use it for information gathering just like always, but they wont get any content, interaction or ad revenue from me.

    This blackout thing, while surely sending a message, will be pointless in the end imo. The bosses have decided how they want to proceed and that’s that.








  • Honestly I didnt expect much else. The AMA announcement alone was downvoted to hell.

    Why he even did it, knowing already that he wont change his mind, is a question for smarter minds than me. There was nothing to gain as far as I can see.

    Doubling down on defaming the apollo creator was just the cherry on top.

    What a piece of human garbage. I really wish them (reddit) to fail hard at this point.



  • Yeah its all a bit confusing.

    Say, you find an entry in https://beehaw.org/c/creative that you like and you’d like to subscribe to the whole community.

    IF someone in your home instance (lemmy.ml) has already added …creative, you can just search for it in “communities” and you can then open and subscribe on the righthand side.

    IF however you are the first in your home instance to access it, then you have to add it manually.

    I do the following (someone more experience may enlighten us if there’s a better way):

    • Use https://browse.feddit.de/ to find the community or just copy the link of the main community (in this case https://beehaw.org/c/creative)

    • Be logged in in your homeinstance, click on the magnifying glass top right to search and then paste the link and search. The community will show up as a link and you can go there and subscribe.

    Edited for some clarity.




  • Dont know why you are downvoted. The issue with porn is basically moderation.

    You can make a porn sub right now if beehaw.org allows it. (if it doesnt, there are others that allow it)

    But it will get flooded with bot spam, loli shit and other illegal and NSFL stuff. That you should remove almost immediately or otherwise it becomes a legal concern for all involved.

    You could also set up a whole new instance as well (as far as I understood the whole federation thing) but that would add additional costs for server resources, especially if people shall be able to upload pictures & videos themselves for example.

    But if you can do it, more power to you! I might even stop by 😏
