Call me dumb if you want, but I still see a big issue in MSFT’s naming convention for XBox. They need to stop trying to be clever and just do something sequential.

Agreed! I can’t stand these clickbait thumbnails.

It will just turn into something completely unrecognizable compared to what it was.

Completely agreed. Reddit won’t die, but it also won’t be the “front page of the internet” as it was from 2016-2022 or so.

Man, I don’t know. I know this is just a personal anecdote, but around my friend circle, I haven’t gotten a single share from reddit in over a month when we used to send links back and forth daily. Those same people have said they haven’t visited reddit in a month, other than the rare checkin on the drama.

I’m sure the significance of the impact is relatively small, but I’d also guess many of those that left were heavy users and contributors. I’ll go over there to check every few days and have noticed the content quality is significantly worse than 2 months ago.

That said, it is also very possible this whole thing blows over and the million or so of us that left are meaningless in reddits overall lifespan.

What other bait communities? We can’t just accept “think of the children” as an excuse. That doesn’t work.

Yes, no one wants actual CSAM to show up in their feed, we can all completely agree on that. But just because some middle-aged woman can’t tell the difference between a 20 year old and a 15 year old, doesn’t make images of the 20 year old CSAM.

There are communities on NSFW Lemmy where people intentionally present as children engaged in sexual abuse scenarios.

If you are referring to the community that was cited as the reason for defederation, this is completely false. The community in question is adorableporn, extremely similar to the subreddit of the same name. No one, in any manner, in either community, presents as a child. While yes, the women that post there tend to be on the shorter and thinner side, calling short, thin adults ‘children’ is not being honest.

To be clear, this community is about petite women. This community is NOT about women with a kink to present as a child.
