      OF content would be a massive money maker. That might be enough to justify the whole project

          Not just paywall their porn, also force linking:

          1. Payment method and thus Identity to reddit account

          2. Identity to whatever degenerate shit you like to get off to.

            That’s why I downloaded the top 250 non-text posts from 250 different pornographic subreddit when they announced the API bullshit over a year ago. I got an old man style static spank bank like playboy magazines in the 70s on my home server for safe keeping.

            I should probably scrape the top 250 from this past year from my favorite 20 or so subs manually or find some automated way that still works 🤔

        Could please share the article from the screenshot? The one where he says he wants to paywall r/asshole design?

        So basically anything goes in terms of content…

        EDIT: The reference to assholedesign is a joke, the first part is legite (that they are generally considering paywalled subs).

      why is this here

      Because it’s relevant?

      Don’t let a bad thing go to waste, it’s a great opportunity to shore up, improve, and accept migrating users with friendliness and openness.

      A great time to share the ideology behind decentralized social media.

        So every negative news about Twitter, Instagram and literally every non-fedi social media platform is “relevant” too?

        The post itself doesn’t even make an effort to connect this to potential benefits for fedi.
