minus-square@UselesslyBrisk@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglish1•1 year agoIm surprised they havent just performed takovers of the private subreddits and installed new mods. Maybe they have but are doing it at a slow pacing, either because its manual or because it may attract less attention.
minus-square@Shinhoshi@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglish1•1 year agoThey have. I assume you haven’t seen the r/adviceanimals post yet?
minus-square@UselesslyBrisk@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglish1•1 year agoI haven’t. But now I’ve seen a couple. I believe they did /r/tumbler or something dirty too. It’s a shame. Totally antithetical to their culture they (Reddit) started and grew with as a freedom of speech platform.
minus-square@ASCIIansi@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglish1•1 year agoThey’ve been running away from their culture of free speech since 2008. The only direction they have ever moved has been in the opposite direction.
minus-square@Damage@feddit.itlinkfedilinkEnglish1•1 year agoI’m skeptical about these claims. If they wanted to do that, why start with AdviceAnimals? Why not funny or pics?
minus-square@ASCIIansi@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglish0•1 year agoI expect most of the “popular” subs (like the one you mentioned) aren’t ones I have ever been aware of or cared to be aware of.
minus-square@Shinhoshi@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglish1•1 year agoI wasn’t aware either, but it was mentioned on Lemmy somewhere
