This is literally just the r/nyt subreddit about The New York Times.

Given he apparently takes inspiration from Elon Musk, it’s only a matter of time until u/spez starts adding post view limits unless you pay extra.

      Yep. There is a metric fuckton of tampering across the board, some of which is sub specific.

      It’s the same kind of things they pulled with WatchRedditDie a long time ago but now it’s site wide with little to no subtlety. The rules are imaginary and meaningless, more so than they already were.

        WatchRedditDie was an alt right shithole full of hate that needed to go. I clicked a link there once and it was nothing but trump supporters pissing and whining that trans people and women exist.

          Oh absolutely. I just use it as an example because it’s one of only a few heavily restricted subs that hasn’t yet been purged by admins.

      I moderate a small niche community and the post where I linked to the Lemmy version of the sub is still up and the link works. I logged out and checked it to make sure it’s actually there and available. Are they doing this manually and focusing on larger subreddits?
