@Sterno I refuse to believe anyone is that dumb and am just gonna attribute it to malice

@Powerlord because there's a delay on bounties

Hanlon's razor

Hanlon's razor is an eponymous adage that allows the elimination of unlikely explanations for a phenomenon. It reads: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. This particular form is attributed to a Robert J. Hanlon. However, earlier utterances that convey the same basic idea are known. == Origins and etymology == The adage was popularized in this form and under this name by the Jargon File, a glossary of computer programmer slang. In 1990, it appeared in the Jargon File described as a "'murphyism' parallel to Occam's Razor". The name was inspired by Occam's...

Kevin van der Velden

Because as aweful as that is, there existing someone who is that dumb and allowed free access to a computer is a worse idea

MBraedley

Kevin van der Velden

MBraedley

I want one

Frank

@badp There were several subreddits that not only condoned, but actively encouraged illegal behaviour. And were only shut down due to getting attention.

murgatroid99

@KevinvanderVelden prove it

Unionhawk

tend, anyway.

Frank

So, yes, I will lump all of reddit in that, as the administrators had ample opportunity to shut them down prior to the attention.

badp

@Frank And there are several people who play videogames and make throwaway Twitter accounts to post death threats

Unionhawk

5:32 PM

Saying all of them are gone already would be giving reddit staff far too much credit.

murgatroid99

@Frank How do you expect an admin to know about something before it gets attention?

badp

Oh, your problem is with Reddit's owners? okay then.

Frank

@murgatroid99 You should be aware of what your platform is being used for, at least on the broad scale.

murgatroid99

It's not like they look at every one of the hundred thousand subreddits to see if it contains material that on closer examination turns out to be illegal

SaintWacko

@murgatroid99 That's the whole point of admins and moderators

murgatroid99

5:33 PM

@Frank But that's not the broad scale

@Frank That's the very rare case

Kevin van der Velden

@murgatroid99 for example: huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/08/reddit-nude-photos_n_5784852.html

Koviko

@KevinvanderVelden Is this SFW?

The link makes me hesitate to click.

Frank

@murgatroid99 If there's no oversight on site creation, then the fault is squarely on them for not actually paying attention.

murgatroid99

And in any case, now you're judging an entire community on the action or inaction of a small group of administrators? That's ridiculous

Batophobia

@MBraedley That looks pretty cool

Kevin van der Velden

5:34 PM

@Koviko the huffington post article? Yes

murgatroid99

@Frank There aren't enough admins to oversee subreddit creation

Frank

@murgatroid99 Their problem.

badp

Kevin van der Velden

@murgatroid99 and yet, the huffington post paying attention to it is not enough to get it removed

murgatroid99

@Frank So you think they should just hire an order of magnitude more people?

Unionhawk

5:35 PM

Yeah, I call shenanigans on @Frank

Frank

@murgatroid99 Or throw some more barriers in the way.

Unionhawk

Blanket statement

Frank

Like SE and Area 51.

Kevin van der Velden

The only acceptable response is immediately banning that subreddit and apologizing for the oversight

murgatroid99

@Frank But that's not what the site is.

If they don't have enough people, vet the ones that do get created.

murgatroid99

I'm not saying you vet all the posts.

murgatroid99

@Frank You just don't seem to understand how reddit fundamentally works

Frank

You vet the subreddits themselves before allowing their creation.

murgatroid99

The entire act of creating a subreddit is choosing a name

You can't vet that

Frank

5:36 PM

@murgatroid99 And due to their negative publicity, there should be more.

murgatroid99

I can name a subreddit /r/abcdefg and still do illegal stuff on it

You can't vet that

badp

Reddit's philosophy on banning subreddits

Frank

@murgatroid99 Yes, you can. By going, "Hey, moron, quit trying to create a subreddit that promotes creepy behaviour"

murgatroid99

Choosing a name doesn't mechanically restrict what you can do

Unionhawk

What the hell do you want, every subreddit has to have a description like "We don't do illegal shit, promisw!"

murgatroid99

5:37 PM

@Frank That's after there are already posts

badp

I'm not entirely okay with it, tbqh, but I figured I'd link to it regardless

Koviko

Reddit claims they shut down the Fappening because it killed their servers being the most organized source of content on the Internet

Which is what reddit should be in the first place

If anything, they shouldn't have seen that as an opportunity to upgrade the server

But they didn't, so their claimed reason is likely false.

Frank

@Unionhawk No, I want some oversight and actual control.

They have demonstrated they will shut down subreddits if they gather too much negative attention.

Koviko

@Frank Are you against afree Internet?

Rapitor

@Koviko I'm pretty sure they shut it down for other reasons

murgatroid99

5:38 PM

@Frank The system you are describing for doing that doesn't make sense

Koviko

@Rapitor Me too.

Unionhawk

@Koviko Yeah @Frank, what are you, a communist?

Frank

@Koviko Not at all. Reddit has a poor reputation, specifically because they allow an anything goes approach.

Unionhawk

(/s if that wasn't understood)

badp

Also Reddit's official post about /r/thefappening

> Third, if we were to remove anything on the site, whether it be for technical, legal, or ethical obligations, it would likely result in a backlash where things kept getting posted over and over again, thwarting our efforts and possibly making the situation worse.

Streisand effect

The Streisand effect is the phenomenon whereby an attempt to hide, remove, or censor a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely, usually facilitated by the Internet. It is named after American entertainer Barbra Streisand, whose 2003 attempt to suppress photographs of her residence in Malibu, California inadvertently generated further publicity of it. Similar attempts have been made, for example, in cease-and-desist letters to suppress numbers, files, and websites. Instead of being suppressed, the information receives extensive publicity and...

Still, in the moment, seeing what we were seeing happen, it was hard to see much merit to that viewpoint.

Koviko

5:40 PM

@badp The didn't ban any new fappening subreddits that popped up afterwards, I don't think.

Rapitor

Reddit was terrible about it's strictness

SaintWacko

@badp Wow. So in other words, they've lost control of their own site

badp

@SaintWacko They're a very small amount of people

murgatroid99

@SaintWacko Do you think the SE admins control the network, at a post level?

Koviko

@SaintWacko I think they "want" to lose control

murgatroid99

5:41 PM

@SaintWacko They never wanted to control every single thing that was posted. That wasn't the goal

Koviko

It's more profitable that way

Frank

@badp I sorta see this viewpoint, and I can understand them taking a hands off approach. At the same time, putting in even a modicum of oversight would ensure the seedier element would find somewhere else.

badp

It's... kind of the only think that's technically feasible to achieve once you reach that scale

Koviko

@Frank I don't think reddit is interested in simply turning away the "seedier" side

murgatroid99

@Frank They do delete the worst stuff. But they can't spend all of their time playing whack-a-mole

SaintWacko

5:42 PM

I just think it's disingenuous to say "We don't like what's happening on our site, but there's nothing we can do"

Koviko

Just preventing breaking the law.

Frank

@murgatroid99 No, but they can vet subreddits before they get created.

Which is the whole point I've been driving at.

murgatroid99

@Frank No, they can't. You don't seem to understand that. There's nothing to vet

Unionhawk

@Frank I'm honestly curious how you propose they accomplish this.

Koviko

@Frank What does it mean to vet a subreddit?

badp

5:43 PM

@Frank How do you vet an empty container?

Frank

Okay, for everybody:

Unionhawk

When a subreddit is created, it is literally an empty box with a name that posts can go into.

badp

I believe that you must wait 15 minutes between making posts on reddit, let alone create subreddits

Frank

Submit a request for a subreddit. Give an overview of what it's intended for.

Somebody from reddit reads it, and approves or denies it.

There you go.

badp

They probably employed an army of sockpuppets

murgatroid99

5:44 PM

@Frank Then, 3 days later, change the description and start posting different stuff. The workaround is so easy it's laughable

Frank

A modicum of vetting.

murgatroid99

Subreddits don't need an intention

Frank

@murgatroid99 And that gets logged, and subreddit gets burned.

Problem solved.

SaintWacko

@murgatroid99 description changes should also be vetted

badp

@murgatroid99 It kinda would rate limit on the creation of subreddits

Frank

5:44 PM

@murgatroid99 They should.

murgatroid99

@SaintWacko that's not scalable

badp

@SaintWacko but descriptions only matters so much

SaintWacko

Seriously, if they actually wanted their site to be higher quality, they could make it happen

murgatroid99

@Frank Why?

SaintWacko

I don't mind if they don't want to be higher quality, but what gets me is when they say they want it to be better, but pretend there is nothing they can do

murgatroid99

5:45 PM

You're proposing a completely different site, removing everything that make reddit the way it is, just because they're not like us

badp

I do believe that what you're describing is possible, but they'd probably need to hire one thousand or so people to make it happen

Frank

@murgatroid99 Because the current platform is, "herpderp, we only delete stuff when lawyers tell us to, regardless of how illegal or borderline unethical it is"

Koviko

@badp Or have an army of moderators like SE

Batophobia

Not have a specific sub for all the garbage is just going to make that become an issue of other places

badp

@Koviko so... supermoderators, eh?

murgatroid99

5:46 PM

> We take down things we're legally required to take down

Koviko

@Frank I don't see the "herpderp" part of that.

murgatroid99

@Koviko SO really isn't that bad. If you ask a good question that follows the guidelines, you will get a good answer quickly

Mad Scientist

From what I understand, moderators are whoever created the subreddit and anyone those users appoint. Moderators do not answer to anyone, they can pretty much do whatever they want. So you can get anything from no moderation at all to blatant abuse in any subreddit. I'm not really suprised that this is not a recipe for quality.

Koviko

5:49 PM

@Frank Getting legal notices to remove content and getting negative publicity aren't the same thing.

Frank

@Koviko I know. They've shown they will put their hand in, when the publicity gets bad enough.

Rapitor

@Frank nothing wrong with that. hands should be kept out

Frank

@murgatroid99 Right. Because changing the description automatically means it doesn't work.

@Frank No, because subreddit name and description have no effect on what content can actually be posted there

@murgatroid99 That's a valid point.

@Batophobia That is not really a fair comparison. Something like revenge porn sites would be a better comparison, I think, and those deserve to be nuked from the internet

Reddit is just a user-run website of aggregated user-generated content.
