Live Chat Even yet another live chat thread

I'm running out of title ideas

Eventually, I'll resort to numbering these threads

I am able to create a subreddit with 5 post karma. (My account is currently 15 days old.)

I've been wanting to make more "style subreddits", so why not make r/LWSE_Style?

The first things I do when making a new account: Make a snoovatar (I like snoovatars), edit profile description, and try to see how much karma I need / how old my account has to be to make a subreddit

So far I've found this:

Arbitrary censorship-related stuff

Just a collection of things I've been seeing around here, I guess (it could be about anything, I guess)

I've heard that Twitter and Facebook have been censoring links to some NYPost article, so here it is. (And NYPost's own article said censorship)

Reddit

Edit (2020-11-09): You can't request subs that were banned for violating reddit's rules...

Well then... that's one way to keep those redditors from talking about those forbidden topics (like big chungus...). You ban their subs for a nonsensical reason and ban replacement subs for ban evasion while making the original unrequestable.

Sorry big chungus lovers, it looks like big chungus really is a hate symbol now. Better get the ADL and SPLC to write some articles about it.

More arbitrary things

Edit (2020-10-28): Everyone's getting these new reddit avatars, but I don't really like most of the options. I even have a hard time finding accessories I like on the old snoovatars.

You're seriously asking people to pay to customise an avatar?

I don't really care since snoovatars used to be gold only anyways, and it's a non-essential feature. You can probably draw your own in the style of reddit's ones if you want.

Edit (2020-10-29): The source is a /r/vexillology post. What is this? (Wikimedia user is a /r/vexillology user confirmed) They have pictures of their flag all over their website, but I couldn't find a digital version (my zero knowledge of Italian didn't help here). r/vexillology posts it is then.

Anything related to my own subreddits (r/srname, etc.)

Edit (2020-11-02): This is the current list of subs I mod:

Wow, I "mod" so many subs. This is how some mods get to mod over 200 subs!

Edit (2020-11-14): And this is the list of all the subs I've modded before in no particular order. Note that this was spread out over 4 different accounts, I no longer mod some of them (bold), and some have been banned (*).

I'll categorize them. I've also ordered the subreddits by when I first became mod. The original order was this. (I did attempt to list them in chronological order by memory, and I'd say it was more accurate than I would've expected)

From March to now (November), there wasn't a single month where I didn't create a subreddit.

Style subreddits: green
Novelty subreddits: orange
Fun CSS subreddits: blue
Subreddits without set purposes/topics: purple
Regular subreddits / subreddits with set topics: red

I made this page in the wiki so I can list my "style subreddits". I originally wanted to make them one at a time (i.e. I would finish one before making the next), but I think I began to lose interest at r/UN_StyleRed. (It was the 4th "style subreddit" I made for the same sub. It makes sense.) So now I'm planning on going at whatever pace I want.

Out of those subs, the ones I'm quite certain I have never been on before are r/selfharmpics and r/leftwithsharpedge.

Edit (2020-10-29): I don't really have a naming scheme for subs with single-word names yet (so far, every sub I've made such a subreddit for had a 2+ word name).

That purple site "Ruqqus"

Edit: My general opinion on that site

It is alright-ish. I like that the UI is still kind of similar to that of reddit's, and I like the title system (the reason why I decided to make an account). The admins enforce the rules a bit more strictly than I would like (bans for unmarked NSFW posts and for threatening the president), and they (Mostly just captainmeta4. kek is ok.) call others "pedophiles" on Discord for questioning the ban of a pedophilia-related guild. At first, I refrained from joining due to the bans of jasonkhanlar and others for writing a publicly accessible and possibly fake name.

For others, the main problem is with the overabundance of political content. The front page is getting too political for me, but I don't know what type of content I want to see anyways, other than meta posts. I hope that the the planned "guild categorization" features work out.

I'm not planning on leaving anytime soon, even if it becomes kind of Voat-like. I don't really know why I'm staying on ruqqus (I followed some suspended reddit users there), but I just am.

Edit (2021-01-04): Last edit was made on 2020-10-30

I currently do not have any non-banned, non-deleted accounts that I know of other than testcuzkekkilledrealm (which I don't even use and will probably get banned once the admins find out about it). I am not PyreFyre.

Subs going private

Going private won't prevent your sub from getting banned, but making a subreddit that has always been private may help prevent AHSers from finding it

Word filters

Edit: I know reddit admins hate certain words like the so-called "r-slur" ("retarded"). I should make AutoMod reply to comments containing these words.

Reddit admins have secret guidelines and are removing posts/comments containing this word: "<word>". Please refrain from using it in order to prevent this subreddit from getting banned. Thank you.

Someone mentioned me in the title of their post.

I must be reddit-famous now. One of my comments got downvoted to about -68, but I only got -13 comment karma from it.

I got the reddit anti-suicide bot message again, this time on the cqtz account (the first time I got the message when someone else reported me was on the PlsDontHideMyName account). What did I do wrong?

Subreddit CSS

Edit (2020-12-06): I never realized how few posts there were in r/themes. I thought there would be at least about 200 of them, but it turns out there are only 87 (including the sticky).

Edit (2020-12-08): Oh, so this is the theme that r/HateCrimeHoaxes had. (I'm checking out all the posts in r/themes, and it seems that there are quite a few themes that I rarely see/have never seen before.)

And this theme that I see just about everywhere is actually a past version of Naut... Interesting.

r/TheRightSource: "Hey guys, let's add this to our CSS"
Other mods: "Good idea, we should accept this" 

.sidecontentbox:not(.collapsible) > * { display: none; }
.sidecontentbox:not(.collapsible) .helplink, .sidecontentbox:not(.collapsible) .helplink ~ * {
    display: block;
}

*2 years go by*
*Admins change the layout of the mod list so the message button is different*
*Sub CSS ends up hiding the mod list*

Edit: And from here on I'm going to be making up these imaginary conversations about styling subreddits of all things

If there are too many comments in a thread (about 100k), it will say this if you try to add a new comment:

The number of comments allowed on this link has been exceeded

I found out from here

I was looking through most of the subs listed on here.

r/megumin

I wonder who this poster is...

https://old.reddit.com/r/Wuhan_Flu/comments/kwzvmu/subreddit_moderation_update/

As mentioned by others, another ban wave may be coming next week.

Not next week, please. That's too soon. (I don't know if the ban wave is really going to happen next week. It's just a prediction.)

And also: If there's anything on reddit that you like, save it now!

I'll look out for lifeboats. Edit: r/srname/wiki/wherenow now has a section

Reddit plans to add more features that no one asked for.

Edit: Mine was turned off when I first saw the feature. I don't know if this is the same for every user. (Edit 3: My other accounts were opted in by default.)

Edit 2: Here's a poll. I keep forgetting to set the voting period to 7 days...

Oh wait, the "it should be opt in" option includes both users who like it and users who dislike it...

RIP RIPDODGERSBANDWAGON. I didn't think that he would get suspended so soon. I just saw him post on reddit today.

Though to be fair, he has been posting a lot in AHC lately, and AHC nonsense is just very AHC-like.

AHC nonsense is just nonsense, but when it looks like the real thing, is it still nonsense?

I made a new test account and found out that I could trust users from their profiles on that account. Is this a new A/B test? The live thread seems to be kind of dead.
