u/Dalimey (who appropriately identifies as “LAWFUL STUPID” shared a warning from reddit admins issuing their final warning against making the sub NSFW (despite the fact that the users of the sub are in full support). They promised to reply to it with “roll for persuasion or intimidation” if they got 10k upvotes, and here is the result. Outstanding move.

    For what it’s worth, the admins won’t actually see that, they disabled responses on those messages. That’s why it says “private moderator note”, it’s a note only the mod team can see

    (It’s still funny, though)

      I just assumed admins can see the private mod notes.

        You shouldn’t make any assumptions that depend on Reddit functioning properly or there being any logic to its disjointed systems lol

          Technically they have the ability to do anything there, whether they have dedicated tools to make it easy or worth while is likely a different story. Also heavily depends on functionality of the site.

              That is correct, though there is a difference between deliberately editing comments in the database and getting pinged for a response. If the system doesn’t tell or notify them explicitly that the person replied and they’re not looking for a reply they just won’t see it.

            I just assume admins have access to prod databases and can run queries against it.

            SELECT * FROM saved WHERE username = 'noodle';

            UPDATE post SET link = "https://youtube.com/rickroll" WHERE username = 'noodle';

            That kinda thing.

        Can? Yes. Do they? Probably not.

        You can go the NCD route and actively send a response (in their case it really was justified as the sub should have been nsfw to begin with), but in the end they also folded.

      Admins even having the ability to disable replies on DMs is pretty telling.

    Why are all those people giving Reddit money by buying awards for that post?

      There’s a significant chunk of power users that have spare Reddit coins from multiple sources, not necessarily bought

        Yup that’s me, never spent a cent and when Alien Blue shut down I received coins and some other shit. I didn’t realise for years that I could give awards 😂

      I subscribed to Reddit premium before the whole clusterfuck. If you’re on Premium you might have a big pool of coins to spend on awards even after you cancel it.

      I actually like awards a lot. I think it’s an especially reasonable idea as a tip jar for the people running an instance. I’d be happy to give a small recurring contribution to instances I like, and if it gave me the ability to identify things I really like I’d consider that gravy.

        You could open an issue on Lemmy’s GitHub for this feature. It sounds really interesting. The developers should be aware of such features and how many people are interested on them.

    The only content worth following on Reddit is this drama, and this post (being nsfw) can’t be accessed by 3PAs.

    Admins dun goof’d. They got rid of the best people on the site.

    I still didn’t get my blackmail on /r/mushing dammit! Got one for making it private. I’m waiting for the NSFW blackmail for two weeks now! What gives?

      It’ll come. Just takes a while because the admins are forced to use their own app with crappy moderation tools.

        He did a week ago. It is the last thing I come back to reddit for, to be able to tell modcodeofconduct and spaz to fu#k off.
