Higher traffic stats means higher user engagement. It helps with higher valuation for the IPO.
If you want to hurt them, remove your content, do a GDPR request, and disengage. Focus on the Fediverse instead.
Doesn’t matter, it drives user engagement and website traffic. Easy way to show to advertisers that Reddit is very much alive. They don’t care what is drawn, as long as it’s nothing illegal or bad for advertisers. People want to spend 24h to write “fuck u/spez”? Sure, whatever.
They are aiming for this as a distraction
They’ve already used one CEO as a fall guy (er… fall gal). Not that I’m a fan, but do we really think spez is the one person in charge of all the stuff going down?
The text in the german flag area translates to
u/spez is a son of a removed
You can swear on the internet. Violence? Gore? No problem!
A bad word? Son of a removed, we’re all going to die.
Edit: Wtf, there is a swear filter? Fuck.
What pearl clutching son of a bitch at lemmy.ml decided its users were too fragile to hear the word “bitch”? And here’s the real question, can you read ot or does it censor mine? Because if you can read it then what’s the point of censoring your own users?
Edit: yeah Kbin lets you say it.
Hmm. Testing to see: removed.
That’s crazy, it even blocks my ex wife’s name.
u/spez is a son of bïtch
Is b word not allowed on lemmy.ml?
Iirc, lemmy.ml is a specifically leftist instance, right? They may have banned the word because of its sexist nature. A bit like allowing fuck, but not allowing the other f word that generally applies to gay men. Swearing isn’t the issue, slurs or derogatory terms are.
Small test: Dio porco Cunt Vaffanculo Hurensohn Dickhead
Users have even gone full French revolution but admins are quite obviously blanking it out every few minutes with a db overwrite.
