Like snoop from the wire using her profits from a (fictional) west baltimoreheroin selling conspiracy to,in fact, establish a west Baltimore heroin selling conspiracy.
There were multiple waves of bans of varied types, I stumbled on it when it was still mostly admin sockpuppets (the horror unidan !) And the jailbait stuff was the first almost serious effort, albeit externally coerced by an old favorite "wont someone please think of the children"
the first major overall regression was the absurd velocity reduction for front-page posts and its been downwards since.
although as mentioned in these topics about Reddit/forums smaller subs, very specific topics, and the uhh one? Well-regulated large sub are informative with a decent S/N.
Unfortunately it's a single point of failure and randomly entire types of subreddit are banned and disappear forever a recent example that springs to mind were the "sporetrading" mushroom ones, some 12+years old guttednowhosting none of the same content although the topic is only legally restricted in 3 states.
The infloor and in-wall heating systems are just recently being re-introduced! 2000+ years later.
Even small buildings in the wilds of england are found with hypocaust tiles. I just saw a video introducing a brand-new underfloor heating system using hot air! The not leaking liquid was a big selling point.
Many banks used to, at least in the US. Had to run some version of internet explorer. Sometimes a specific version or you could not access the bank website. It's creeping back now as more sites are not working correctly with Firefox for me.
in the moderator subreddit, the admins have stated several times that non-commercial access will remain free, and have skirted replying to direct questions, from what I can tell.
u/spez (reddit ceo) is doing a ama tomorrow.
>Hi Mods,
We’re providing a follow-up on the last API update we made to make sure our mods, developers, and users have clarity on changes we are (and aren’t) making.
API Free Access
This exists and continues to be available.
If usage is legal, non-commercial, and helps our mods, we won’t stand in your way. Moderators will continue to have access to their communities via the API - including sexually explicit content across Reddit. Moderators will be able to see sexually-explicit content even on subreddits they don't directly moderate.
We will ensure existing utilities, especially moderation tools, have free access to our API. We will support legal and non-commercial tools like Toolbox, Context Mod, Remind Me, and anti-spam detection bots. And if they break, we will work with you to fix them.
Developers can continue non-commercial usage of the API, free of charge within stated rates. Reddit is also covering hosting for apps via the Developer Platform, which uses the Data API.
