The landed gentry are only in charge until the king comes to town and chops off a few heads. At least that seems to be the case at Reddit, where CEO Steve Huffman pretended his complaints about current moderators — who were protesting his decision to effectively cut off API access to tons of useful…

Just wait for July 1st! Once millions of people find their apps not working anymore and their porn gone there's no way going back for Reddit.

It's that last part that's going to break their knees, lol

Make sure to point everyone to wefwef.app and Sync for Lemmy!

Also Lemmynsfw.com 🤨

(Mandatory plug: !animemidriff@lemmynsfw.com)

Edit: Fyi nsfw content isn't visible without an account

Lemmy NSFW is mostly just full of accounts posting non-NSFW images of celebrities in a way that looks like they are all run by the same person. Other than that it's basically dead.

...You're just viewing it without an account; instances won't show nsfw without one.

It's very active already

Signed up an account and took a look around.

There's some NSFW content now but it's not all that different from what I described. Every community I look at is lucky to have 5 posts and many of them have all been created recently.

I don't have a horse in this race, but have you seen any of Reddit's NSFW subs? Most posts are by bots.

Every oak tree was once an acorn

[-] OtakuAltair@vlemmy.net 1 points 1 year ago

What...? The main comms have hundreds of posts and thousands of subscribers already despite the instance being created just over 2 weeks ago

[-] xaxl@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Now go and pay attention to the age of the posts. I'll wait.

[-] OtakuAltair@vlemmy.net 2 points 1 year ago

They're posted about when you'd expect in hot?

nsfw

[-] xaxl@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lets just use your own screenshot for a second.

Do you think all the posts in it that are practically all posted at the same time (16-17 hours ago) is normal, organic user behavior to you?

[-] OtakuAltair@vlemmy.net 2 points 1 year ago

That's just about the average amount of time posts take to hit 'hot'; it was similar in reddit too.

Pretty constant stream of posts in new:

nsfw

Hopefully the faking to them making it pays out I guess.
