Lol, nothing of value was lost.

I miss r/Coomer though, it existed to mock and insult people who have a very unhealthy habit of masturbating and sexual addiction (particularly to lolicon). Like, fuck, sex and masturbating isn’t bad on it’s own but it shouldn’t be your god damn identity.

Sure it has no value. But what ban it though? The beauty of the site was always its niche communities. Now r/all is Facebook with Strangers.

You missing a community dedicated to mock & harass people who probably need actual help with coping really says a lot about you.

Ooooo, I’m so not impressed that your only breathing existence is to dig through people’s post history to connect something insulting. Get a life, dude.

The only thing I dug through was the comment I replied to. But thanks for proving my point! lmao

Why does the garbage stench always comes from kbin.social? Lemmy can’t get an option to ban entire instances fast enough.

arranging gooning meetups

What?

“Gooning is a flow state: an extended edging session marked by mindlessness, loss of control, and total surrender,”

I had to stop reading this shit. I can’t believe there’s an article about it. I guess 404 can go ahead and go bankrupt, fuck off.

Edit, to be fair, it was a quote from a Vice article.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the ban was a pretext and the sub was just something admins found objectionable for their own reasons. Like as long as mods remove material and users when an issue is brought to their attention then the sub should be fine.

The fact they don’t know why it happened is telling that they weren’t given a real chance to correct the issue. Just centralised social media things I guess.

I feel like the real reason would be that Reddit suits know that Reddit is stereotyped as a gooner website and don’t want people to think redditors are gooners, which is very wishful thinking as everyone already knows they are some of the biggest gooners out there online.

Being a gooner is a significantly more worthwhile investment of your limited time on this earth than being a reddit admin imho.

My friend’s kids are in high school and their generation looks down on Reddit. They associate it with millennials.

Reddit is notorious to responding to financial incentives. In the past they would ban communities only when they became toxic to advertisers due to overwhelming negative publicity. During those purges, they would often throw in some leftist subs to prevent the user-base political average from shifting leftward, but the purges were never proactive.

I think we’ve entered a new era where Reddit is no longer as concerned about which subs may scare advertisers, and are more concerned about which subs generate the kind of content that is valuable to LLM training. If I were training the next version of ChatGPT, I would be alarmed if a text prompt spontaneously invited me to masturbate with it, or prompts for images of a “battle station” resulted in walls of women having sex.

It seems like they’re worse about it now that they’ve IPOed. Or maybe that was just in the lead up to the IPO.

I would hope that people training AI models would be selective about which subs to include or exclude.

You read an article about gooning and you’re upset that you’ve now learned what gooning is???

The article is about reddit banning a community for no real reason with no option for recourse. My issue was I thought that was kind of an over the top description.

Some go as far as to define themselves as ‘pornosexuals,’ people with a sexual preference for porn over real-life sex.”

Y’all motherfuckers need Jesus.

I can’t imagine anyone wanted to mod that sub, so they probably banned it because it was undermoderated
