I deleted Apollo and the official Reddit app (which I used to post posts) and I'm done. I had been a user for ~12 years and had 150K+ comment karma. They fucked up and now I'll spend more time on here and /., is my guess. Unless there are other strong dork communities I should be looking into.

What is /. ?

Literally "slash dot".

Reddit definitely doesn’t have outages like this almost weekly. Maybe 10+ years ago, but it’s rare now.

Not true at all in regards to 10+ years ago. Once at week, if not more, Reddit fails to load for me. I refresh the page and it appears I've been logged out. Continue refreshing the page until my session is revived and things are back to normal. I'll often open a post and the header will load but Reddit will fail to load the comments with a click to retry loading comments.

This has literally never happened to me. I started using it almost daily 3 years ago.

Lascivious pictures of clothed children count as CSAM in many jurisdictions. Free speech is fine but did they not have lawyers until 2015?

Can you give us one example of a jurisdiction where a photo of a teenager in bikini would count as CSAM?

* Note: This IS NOT Legal Advice *

Most states in the US could use a photo of a teenager in a bikini as enough 'evidence' to bring charges of Possession of Pornography involving a Juvenile, depending on what the actual photo depicts. Whether the contents of the image could be found to substantiate a conviction for the charge would be a trial/appeals issue. Nudity is not required for an image to be considered CSAM in most US states (or at the federal level), there are also Federal precedents that make cartoon depictions of under-aged characters count as CSAM.

They're the same thing and used interchangeably. The sexual abuse is from the sharing lascivious pictures of someone taken without their consent, with the additional context that children are not understood to be capable of consent for sharing lascivious pictures. It is not physical abuse.

That... is an abuse of the word abuse.

Also wouldn't that logic apply to pictures that were originally taken openly and innocently?

Would be cool to have a directory with alternative communities for every subreddit

True, or even a centralized place for Reddit alternatives that's not on Reddit...

There's a Hacker News conversation about that right now: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36293789

Slashdot, one of the oldest big tech/nerdy news and comment web forums (like HN) on the net. In many ways it pioneered voting and moderation systems we see today. https://slashdot.org/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slashdot
