An unmoderated sub is banned from Reddit after two months without mod activity, per the site’s rules. “These incidents are discussed on r/formula1, and videos, images and other media are posted following these events.”įollowing the changes, several of these subreddits became unmoderated. Crashes and injuries are not uncommon - some even with fatal results,” mods wrote, announcing the change this week. R/self, with more than 2 million members, which is for “self-posts for discussion, questions, or anything else you like,” is now unmoderated, and people are ignoring the “no porn” rule.įormula 1 racing subreddit r/formula1 switched to classify itself and all of its posts as NSFW, but doesn’t allow porn.

R/ShittyLifeProTips, which was previously mostly what it says in the title-people seeking bad advice-is now full of porn with titles that start with “ Spez is a greedy little pig boy.” That's it.” Most of the posts now are trolling or pornographic, like “ is this an interesting way to take off a sundress?” and Photoshopped images of Toy Story characters with huge boobs. “Going forward the only subreddit specific rule is that any content you submit must be something you consider interesting as fuck. So the community rules are changing to reflect that,” mods wrote when they announced r/interestingasfuck reopening on June 19, with the new rules. “Reddit has made it clear that users, not volunteer moderators are the true owners of subreddits. Things like harassment and sexualization of minors are still forbidden, but when it comes to porn-which previously wasn’t allowed in the sub-all bets are off. On r/interestingasfuck, with nearly 11.5 million members, all NSFW content is now allowed as long as it fits within Reddit’s sitewide terms of use. Unpaid, volunteer moderators, especially, rely on third-party apps to keep their subreddits running safely in compliance with Reddit’s terms of use. The developers for popular third party Reddit app Apollo said it would cost more than $20 million per year to keep running, and shut down as a result. Third-party app developers, researchers, and developers use the site’s API to build tools and collect data, but in most cases, the fees would be too exorbitant to continue that work.

From June 12 to the 14th, thousands of subreddits turned their communities private, locking out hundreds of millions of users in protest of new fees for accessing the site’s API.
