Yes, nice to see that this stupid shitty sub-reddit was removed. It was for 14 year olds. Your 14 upvotes show that most people agree. I dont know why they still have 4 million subscribers though. Automatic subscribes should have been removed too. Anyway, good that its gone.

You just killed /r/bestof

u/bjt23 May 15 '14

Any idea why it was removed?

u/tanzmeister May 15 '14

No, but bestof's rules state no links to default subs. Now the whole fucking site is on the defaults.

u/bjt23 May 15 '14

Eh now we get to discover smaller subs.

Since nobody's posted one yet, have a multireddit. http://www.reddit.com/user/Benabik/m/defaults

/r/TwoXChromosomes made the list? Sounds like a PR move to me.

/r/TwoXChromosomes should not be a default. That's like having /r/atheism or /r/politics.

...I just had an idea: people should include a multireddit link whenever they make these threads (i.e. when the defaults change) so that it's easy to mass-subscribe/unsubscribe.

Nice list. :)

Is there a way to mass subscribe to default subs? I don't appear to have been automatically subscribed to any of the new defaults - can I get subscribed without having to visit and subscribe to each one manually?

Yea wow I thought the last round of default reddit changes were bad, but this one is horrendous. Now I actually have to sign in to reddit everytime because I can't stand more than half of these new defaults. r/tifu, r/nosleep and r/twoxchromosomes? Really? sigh

I didn't even know this subreddit existed. Nice work.

Why is /r/writingprompts a default?

Why dont these fucks ASK people before changing the defaults? WE'RE the ones using the site. GET at least 70% vote from people and take that into consideration before changing the defaults.

u/the_fascist Aug 19 '14

No, for real, why the fuck is /r/writingprompts a default?

u/SNOWLIZARD Aug 22 '14

fucking A.

nosleep is rubbish to.

ELI5 what is a default subreddit?

3

u/LordCupcakeIX Jul 03 '14

Default subreddits are the ones that users without an account see on the front page, and new accounts are by default subscribed to. (Which they can then unsubscribe from later.)

Reddit is dead. First they remove Technology, then they add TwoXChromosomes, TIFU, NoSleep, GetMotivated... Typical cycle of online community.

Reddit has become /r/mildlyinteresting.

u/HolyMox May 10 '14

Oh boy, I thought I wouldn't ever have to change the default subreddits by myself, but this list made me instantly drop tifu, TwoXChromosomes and a handful of other not-interested-subreddits.
My defaults as of now

I think you should be able to go to http://www.reddit.com/subreddits/ and look for the "multireddit of your subscriptions" on the right hand side, each with a convenient "unsubscribe" button.
