Several subreddits are allowing porn and not-safe-for-work content to protest Reddit. In response, the platform has removed entire moderator teams from the affected subreddits.

I really want to cut ties with Reddit. I keep reading this stuff to keep me motivated to cut those ties.

    It doesn’t matter how hard Reddit tries to break up the protest, if they don’t reverse course on this, the site will implode on July 1st when the API changes happen and mods of large subreddits no longer can use the tools they need to do their jobs. Reddit’s trying to claim they have new mod tools in the works, but I’m sure they’re full of shit.

    Everyone at that company is an absolute idiot for not listening to the moderators they’re actively antagonizing right now, and it’s going to blow up in their faces.

      If it’s anything like their video player, it’s going to be complete garbage. Something I love about lemmy is how I can watch videos with no lag or spotty loading. Whoever wrote reddit’s video player needs to be shot.
