Does this also apply to posts which are not posted as "public", but can be shared as a link?
You'd think capitalism would lead platforms to support porn.

I'm trying to take the most charitable interpretation possible instead of assuming malice on the part of reddit, but it's difficult to interpret it any other way than they have decided to kill 3rd party clients and not be upfront about their intentions. It wouldn't be so difficult to swallow if the official mobile app was high quality, but it isn't. There are major UX issues with the official app that haven't been fi…
They're a huge company, they could easily acquire five of the third party apps, add ads and keep the developers on payroll to maintain the apps. Banning apps that don't show ads of course.

It's a problem on mobile, because old-reddit isn't mobile-engineered and there isn't uBlock for iOS. The go-to Reddit app for iOS is Apollo, and they're going to be affected. https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/12ram0f/had_a_fe...
> old-reddit isn't mobile-engineered Eh. I exclusively use https://old.reddit.com/ on both Desktop and Mobile, and never felt inconvenienced. Our cell phones are large enough today to use 2008-era websites without any additional bells and whistles. But, of course, people who are already used to whatever UI they chose are going to suffer.

That’s what happens when you deal with companies from the US.
Amen. Sex is bad but violence and the weekly mass shooting circuit are great and good for the kids. God bless America.
Tumblr 2.0 incoming? It's a not-so-unspoken fact that a lot of social media platforms are popular because they have tons of pornography. Reddit, Twitter, OnlyFans (more openly) and (until now) Imgur all have massive communities around explicit content. Even Twitch and YouTube are hugely successful as ways for OnlyFans creators to drive users to their explicit content. Going to be very interesting to see if imgur drop…
Also, the irony of the Tumblr comparison is that Tumblr has become my default social image hosting provider now that they allow soft porn and have a paid ad-free subscription. The tables have turned!

"Manufacture a consensus"?
It's pretty common to use alt accounts to upvote and comment on your own posts - I used to do this when I cared. Some people take it really far and have their alts also repost their content to get multiple shots to "go viral." Some people also make down vote networks to silence comments they don't like. Recently, I have used these accounts to get answers to questions: post the question with one account and ~3 bad but…
