Are we going to start pretending this is something new to bash on reddit?
Given the lack of context the mods might be in the right here, what is up with the expectation you can just barge up to a community and say whatever you want, there are rules for a reason.
Sure let’s circlejerk
Holy shit what is this level of cringe!!??
I mean, being a weeb is not synonymous with loli stuff, especially nowadays where anime and manga have become so mainstream.
But I don’t believe even for a second the narrative of “now that the good guys are off, reddit has decayed to the point anime fans are clamouring for loli” they already were, since the beginning, it is a constant and unavoidable “issue” (in the sense of controversial) in anime communities, always was and probably always will be.
Heck I remember one of the main mods of r/animemes posting loli on other subs, so it isn’t like the people that directed the subs had much problem with it, it was just part of the rules they had to enforce due to multiple reasons (people not wanting to see that, it being a meme community, reddit rules over all, etc)
Jokes aside, I quickly scrolled the anime subs I used to frequent (by hot and then top daily and top weekly) and I didn’t really see noticeable change, maybe I missed a big discussion that happened during protests since I stopped using reddit since then, but I don’t really see what you described.
And before the protests there was already the occasional pro loli post, of course it wasn’t a flood that’s why I went to check.
Maybe it’s something present on smaller subs?
Anime subs are flooded with pervs openly sexualizing children and calling for porn.
So… Pretty much the same as before July 1st /s
Common law legislations also have piracy laws? I would rather say it’s more of a western kind of affair, since a lot of countries in the east + africa (especially underdeveloped or that only recently developed) have yet to sign international treaties on enforcing piracy law.
Having the law is one thing, but of course most countries that aren’t on western europe or North America barely enforce piracy laws. (For example look at the entirety of south america, where official huge bus companies will just play pirated movies on the screens)
Please look at the community you are in right now :)
What reasons are there to change into those? I have been torrenting for such a long time it would be lowkey weird to vhange for no reason.
What are the advantages presented by those?
How much is it supposed to cost? Here on Chile it is around 5 bucks
I expected Reddit posts to last a week or so at this intensity because of the recency of 3rd party apps dying. Then we will see how much content is actually being outputted.
How are they paying thr calls in the meantime? Did they already have some sor of monetization?
Test
Replying for visibility!
(In case it is useful, at least on the instance I use, vlemmy, the mod said that as long as it is not on local it doesn’t matter but that was regarding a porn rule)
If you encountered a community like that, maybe they needed those, there is a reason they are there and people keep posting.
For the immaculate example, see r/askhistorians where I guarantee your answers will get removed even when properly sourced since it has to do with how tight their quality control is, which that was needed to make one of the best communities out there.
Rules are not a reddit especific thing, once communities grow bigger over here more and more will develop and perfect rules that better suit their identities, it is a necessary part of this kind of social media.
Your post kindd of reminds me of another post today where someone pointed out at 4 deleted comments, with no context and basically said “reddit doesn’t respect freedom of speech, see how far mods have fallen since the blackouts” which was useless circlejerking, communities are no different that subreddits in that particular sense, moderation and rules will still be present here, a mod deleting your post has nothing to do with them being on reddit or not.
