Hi! š Here's our #introduction. We're BBC Research & Development; we explore and test new technology to discover how the BBC can best make use of it in the future. For 100 years our engineers have been at the forefront of developments in broadcasting. We're now researching how everyone could get TV & radio via the internet...
The mod's response to Reddit, in case people don't want to go there:
According to them, your favourite subreddits going NSFW is too much for you to understand. The infamous Mod Code of Conduct messaged us, demanding we switch back, because āyouāre likely confused by all the NSFW content youāve been seeingā.
They didnāt allow us to reply, so we couldnāt explain that this is a subreddit for an 18+ game, nor has any of our content changed. This subreddit should have been NSFW already, but weād never thought to change it until recently.
Until we change it back weāre in violation of Redditās sitewide rules. Weāre not going to change it back, because this is a sexually explicit game, and also fuck them.
If weāre removed at least we got to go out on an fantastically fun flair event (donāt worry this wonāt stop your flair from being added I promise), and if this sub changes back from NSFW then you know youāre no longer in control of it.
Rest assured; we have 77 fans all over Reddit, with r/lowsodiumcyberpunk being a decent fall back. Weāve never worked together on anything, but weāve made an effort to stay on good terms with one another, and I trust them to take care of you all.
Edit: this has hit r/all choombas so assume there are a lot of people here just to feed on the drama
Some time after posting this here, the mods added a second edit:
Edit: since hitting r/all there have been a bunch of accounts created in the last month attacking us and defending Reddit admins with a vigour Iāve never seen before. That seems suspicious, at the very least
So it seems that someone (probably Reddit themselves) caught wind of this and attempted to astroturf it with bots... Now who's recently been caught doing that?
R/pics is also refusing to go down without a fight, and Iām kind of loving watching all this from the sidelines.
Reddit already got caught using ChatGPT to astroturf in posts supporting the admins, so I wonder if some of the people the mods mentioned popping in for drama are actually ChatGPT.
