This subreddit was about following whether a subreddit has been banned, quarantined, or went private.
Remember how long it took reddit to ban t_d after they helped organize a nazi rally?
They only did it after all the nazis fled to their own site. Reddit changed the algorithm so their blatant rule breaking with stickies would stop flooding /r/all. Back at the peak I checked and it was 75% of the top few pages of all was just t_d. They changed how reddit worked instead of dealing with the rule breakers because they supported the nazis.
It would almost be better if they kept it because they agreed with it. In fact they don’t care about the content. They care about “engagement”, which is the same reason you got terrible content on Facebook, pre-Elon Twitter, etc. Anything that made clicks was good. Promoting hate because it’s profitable is one of those “banality of evil” moments.
Edit: I’m not saying post-Elon Twitter is better. He’s promoting hate for a different reason.
I spent fucking years screaming into the void about that cesspit
Same. It’s neat how quickly the admins can ban a sub when they don’t agree with it about everything and like what it’s doing.

These posts about Reddit’s continuing slide are like the news my elderly mother gives when yet another one of her friends dies: sad, but what you gonna do?
Every conversation my mother and grandmother had for the last 10 years of my grandmother’s life (just change the name):
Grandmother: “Do you remember Sue Smith?” Mom: “I don’t think so.” Grandmother: “ Yes you do, Sue Smith.” Mom: “Sue Smith? Where would I know her from?” Grandmother: “ She lived two houses down from us over on Suwannee Street.” Mom: “I don’t remember a Sue Smith from the neighborhood.” Grandmother: “She was Sue Jones before she got married.” Mom: “OH Sue Jones! Yeah I remember her!” Grandmother: “Well she died.”
Every. Single. Time.
Haha, that’s so accurate
The closer you get to death, the more fascinated by you become. My grandparents died in the 80s. Last ten years before they died, my grandfather and his friends went to every funeral no matter who it was or if they knew them. You might think ha ha they went for the food, but they never went to the receptions/wakes. I think they basically just did it as a high five, I’m alive you’re dead type of thing. They did this until every one of them was dead. None of them were overly religious.
“If I don’t go to their funeral, they won’t come to mine”
Will they be attending your funeral due to the zombie apocalypse or as ghosts? 🤔
Danke! Die sind alle tot.
Aha Mensch, ja
You reminded me of something… There was this comedian in the 90s. Can’t remember who. But he had this routine about his mother-
“Guess who died today?”
“Mom…”
“Guess who died today?”
“Mom, I’m eating breakfast.”
“Guess who died today?”
“I don’t know… grandma?”
“Yeah, but which one?”
Ha ha ha ha ha!!! 🤣🤣🤣
My husband’s grandmother has been having this conversation with me for almost twenty years. I did not grow up in that town, I did not grow up in that state, and even after we got married, we never lived close by. But she has never lived anywhere else, and I don’t think she can imagine a world where everyone she knows doesn’t know everyone else she knows. I’ve just learned to quickly accept that of course I remember “Sue from Suwannee Street”.
I feel like Reddit is like that friend you had in high school that started doing drugs and went into a downward spiral. Now you hear news about him every now and then and it’s just sad
I don’t know, that comparison kinda humanizes a corporation that is very much looking to go public and make itself valuable to shareholders. I don’t like to think of these websites as “friends”.
Yes, reddit’s a tragic shitshow, but there is absolutely no guarantee the same won’t happen on any fediverse instance either. We should always look out to jump ship if we start to notice like a website is sacrificing user wishes for personal gain.
How about Reddit is like that friend that decided to start a pyramid scheme but it didn’t work out and they have now become that friend you had in high school that started doing drugs and went into a downward spiral. Now you hear news about them every now and then and it’s just sad.
Is that better?

The good thing about Fediverse is that you can divorce instances, and even run your own so that other people who use it can get mad at your policies.
More like a friend from years ago that you still talked to often on social media, and thought you still knew, but went into that downward spiral over the course of a month or two.
it’s more amusing than sad to watch these out of touch CEOs burn their company to the ground in an attempt to find extra pennies in the couch cushions.
I’ll miss Reddit, but federated social network is the right step forward and I hope we can rebuild what we had
I hope we can build what we wanted, since I don’t think Reddit has ever been perfect. I bet we can do better.
You can say it has been

What was /r/reclassified?
Tracked subs whos status has changed(quarantined, banned, etc.)
Basically where all the juicy shit was after they just went through with this
Sounds like subreddit drama should take over
Since it’s banned I can’t see to verify the claim it was “unmoderated”. Can anybody confirm or refute? Any recent screenshots would be nice. I’d lean toward this being a convenient excuse they used to get rid of a troublesome voice, but would appreciate context.
