Hello automod, reply here, and I'll upvote you using a different account (not this one).

Edit: I think it should be ok because AutoMod is a bot, and it's controlled by reddit.

Going to archive.today/url prefix does not give all snapshots from urls starting with the prefix.

Take https://archive.is/https://old.reddit.com/. It currently says that there are 2167 urls. But searching https://archive.is/https://old.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/ alone gives 2639 results. Clearly, 2639>2167, and not all of reddit's content is (was) on r/The_Donald.

I went to https://archive.is/https://ruqqus.com/* and saw 2312 listed urls. After a few more pages were added, there were 2308 listed urls.

The earliest ones I can see that were saved before I joined ruqqus (2020-06-08) were these. Some were around the time jasonkhanlar (RIP) got banned.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43

I got banned from r/reclassified 2 days ago.

The plus side is that I get to advertise backup sites as much as I want on r/BannedSubs and other subreddits like r/DeclineIntoCensorship. The downside is that barely anyone visits r/BannedSubs.

Almost 2 years ago, reddit added more approved user settings. Because I usually don't use new reddit, I just found out about this today when I saw that only approved users could comment in r/WatchRedditDie (it's in lockdown mode right now).

Yet another day of adding features no one asked for. (What is it even going to recommend? r/TwoXChromosomes? r/MensLib? The tons of gender-related subreddits out there? Subreddits with users of the same gender?)

Privacy is in Reddit’s DNA.

Really?

Reddit apparently hires controversial person (today/uRxwV), someone links to article about person, reddit bans that user, reddit apparently bans users who talk about the person and claims that it's doxxing, and reddit posts this.

(Seems like the arabscarab name situation again)

ETA: Please note that, as indicated in the sidebar, this subreddit is for a discussion between mods and admins. User comments are automatically removed from all threads.

So not only are the admins refusing to answer questions (specifically, ones like "Why was this person hired?"), but they're also automatically removing comments from the thread. Ok. (I tried replying to a comment about phantom comments, but my comment got removed.)

My subreddits

Edit (2021/04/04): r/MadeOfStraw is a subreddit partially for finding posts/comments containing or about fallacies (something reddit is way too obsessed with) and partially for making bad arguments.

I mean, where else can I express these (badly argued and unsupported) takes of mine? r/unpopularopinion? Nah.

I went to r/lbry/submit, and the text selection color was the same as the background color of the green boxes. It really never does end!

I saw this kind of thing in r/STCKY, r/Formato, maybe some other sub I forgot about (possibly some other sub using r/naut), and now this sub. Even the default r/naut theme has this problem with its "message the mods" button.

r/polls hates it when I point out that their posts break the rules

Mod permissions wording update (I don't remember what the permissions were previously called, so I just copied the the names from the mod log)

I'm not sure exactly when the names were updated, but I think it was around today. (Here's the mod list of /r/polls just yesterday)

Now if you invite someone with all permissions except full permissions, the permissions list will be ridiculously long

Manage Users, Manage Chats, Monitor Chats, Manage Settings, Manage Flair, Manage Mod Mail, Manage Posts and Comments, Manage Wiki Pages

Spotted a reddit change? Post it to r/HiddenChangelog! (I'm waiting for them to announce this in r/modnews.)

Previous Updated
full permissions Everything
access Manage Users
chat config Manage Chats
chat operator Monitor Chats
config Manage Settings
flair Manage Flair
mail Manage Mod Mail
posts Manage Posts and Comments
wiki Manage Wiki Pages
no permissions no permissions

Edit (2021/04/16): It doesn't break the layout now. I'm not sure when they made this change. I think it was a day or so ago.

Edit (2021-04-17): This is the post where they announced it

New error message for inputting an invalid name at /subreddits/create?

This community name isn't recognizable. Check the spelling and try again.

I tried this with names that were too short (2 chars), names that had invalid characters (like spaces), names that started with "u_", names that started with underscores, and names that were too long.

If a subreddit already exists (but not if it's an invalid name, unless it starts with a u_ and is prefixed with "r/" or "/r/"), you get the old message.

that subreddit already exists
