    Five gets you ten that Reddit will purge the moderators, get lackeys into the mod positions, do a content prune to get rid of NSFW-ish posts and comments, then try to bring it back as “business as usual”.

    Reddit has already demonstrated that they have no problem breaking their own rules.

    This is brilliant! I can’t bring myself to go back, even to visit, as I only use mobile and refuse to use that shitty app. But it’s great to hear people are fighting back.

      If I hadn’t deleted myself off the site, I’d go and write the worst, most cringy, NSFW worthy John Oliver fanfiction that my brain could produce.

      The one shame of leaving entirely is I can’t do that and won’t go back on my principles.

        Feel free to write and post here. Some of us would still be interested in reading it. At least while we wait out beanpocalypse

      Ah, no, swearing is allowed as long as it’s vulgarity, profanity is what requires an NSFW tag. It’s a very important distinction that the Reddit ToS accidentally makes.

      So, in conclusion: Fuck -> No NSFW tag. Hell -> Yes NSFW tag.
