For the record, I fully support what the remaining mod team is doing, they are a wonderful group and I trust them completely. I don’t regret the choices I made, only that my actions got a few other mods shit canned in the process.
Honestly, fuck spez and the rest of the admin team.
You are a legend for what you did. They nat 1’d and instead of abiding by the roll, they flipped the table.
This is my first post on here thanks to the shit Admins pulled on you. How best do you recommend continuing the protest? Simply stop using reddit altogether, or is there a malicious compliance you recommend? My usage has gone down significantly since the API changes but I haven’t been able to kick it altogether.

Unfortunately, that’s probably the only route, IMO
My usage has gone down significantly since the API changes but I haven’t been able to kick it altogether.
While it’s not exactly a perfect replacement for reddit yet, lemmy can help with that, i’ve found. If you click to the “all” feed you can basically get a slows/less populated version of reddit r/all. Really all it lacks at the moment is user participation, which has been climbing a lot over just the past few weeks.
First post on here, I have as well followed after the dndmemes mod fiasco by Reddit. Question: does Lemmy allow NSFW content? Asking… For a friend.
Each community is allowed to set their own standards for the rules they have, there’s no server wide ban necessarily against NSFW, so you should check with the mods of a given community
There are entire INSTANCES for that, my friend, with varying rules, themes, and content focuses.
Stopping using Reddit is probably the only effective form of protest. If you don’t want to do that, reducing your usage at all will help. However, the best thing you can probably do is help the Fediverse grow. Your part of that means active participation, be it posts or comments. So that’s what I would encourage you to do: Post things!
Define Fediverse please?
This is the fediverse. It’s a bunch of different instances federating with each other, sharing content but remaining individual. That way, no one instance can pull a reddit and go mad with power.
Ttrpg.network, which you joined, is one of many websites that can all communicate together with a common web protocol. This process is called federation and all of those sites together are called the fediverse. So for example, I’m logged into slrpnk.net right now but because both of our sites (called instances) are federated, I can view and comment here, and you’d be able to do the same on any communities hosted on slrpnk.net. You may have heard of mastodon which is more of a twitter alternative but it’s also part of the fediverse, so you should be able to use your account here to view and interact with mastodon content as well if you wish.
It’s a pretty clever system and while there are hiccups here and there, for me it has been a good replacement for Reddit. We just need more users and content to really get things going.
Hello! Here’s Question.
… how did you do it? How did you transcend fear,pain death and become immortal?
Asking for a friend.
But more seriously thank you so much for what you did. You set an example.
And it wasn’t just about goblin tits ( and throbbing bugbear wang).
It was about resisting illegitimate execution of authority and the sub became a really cool sex positive space. ( possibly not the mods intent, but it happened.)
Anyway, I do have one final question.
For people who support you and the original mods and also the remaining mods…
What do you suggest we do?
Abandon that sub completely and just come here and try to make it really active or… what?
🙏❤️
Seriously, the ruling that dismissed them was some egregious bullshit. I’m off reddit completely after that show of dickery.
I have a spicy question for you!
…did you have a favourite NSFW meme I made?
You made it over here! Yay! Is there anywhere we can see those now that they were deleted from r/dndmemes? Some were pretty excellent. Don’t think this community would allow those but I’m sure there is a community somewhere that would appreciate them.
Legend. Just registered here too after the coward decision from Reddit Admins. Other than cats and NCD I’m barely active now.
https://sh.itjust.works/c/noncredibledefense
Assuming that’s the NCD you’re talking about that seems to be its largest fediverse community.
THAT NCD indeed. Just need HFY around and I’ll be set. Gone are the days of chasing every cat sub.
I’m not a fan of the layout here, it’s too compacted and things are not clearly defined, but I’ll make do.
FYI, there are a shit ton of third party apps and extensions for viewing Lemmy however you want. No idea what type of device you’re using, but for iOS I like Memmy.
Just a little tip: If you use a browser (PC or mobile), you can simply write [email protected] and it will automatically convert the link so that people directly can subscribe regardless on which server they are.
How does that work when two instances can have communities/magazines with the same name?
And that still wouldn’t directly let me subscribe since it takes me to sh.itjust.works when I’m on Kbin. I’m also using the PWA but I imagine I’ll switch back to straight browser.
How does that work when two instances can have communities/magazines with the same name?
Because the two communities are on different servers. [email protected] is on the sh.itjust.works instance/server (https://sh.itjust.works/c/noncredibledefense) and [email protected], as an example, would be on lemmy.world (https://lemmy.world/c/noncredibledefense). They’re both different communities/subreddits with different mods/admins.
While this can be a little confusing at first, after a while 1 or 2 similar communities will became the mainstream ones where most traffic will go while the others will be way smaller and a little more niche.
Sorry that the link doesn’t work for you. Kbin is a different platform and I have no experience with it.
All I see for both of those is “!noncredibledefense” and yet they go to different servers.
What are you actually typing? I’m assuming the markdown is changing it.
3000 fediverse NCD users of hating spez
FUCK spez
Thank you for your service. Fuck the admins.
Would you be interested in starting a shortstack-and-snitty friendly community, either on this instance or elsewhere on Lemmy? I know it started as a protest, but a genuine (albeit horny) community sprung up really quickly. A lot of users, myself included, legitimately enjoyed what it was shaping into these past couple of days, where normal memes were getting posted alongside horny ones. It made the sub a really enjoyable sex-positive space that wasn’t solely dedicated to sex, and there are not many of those.
There’s a lot of NSFW communities popping up over at https://lemmynsfw.com/
None seem to be for RPG memes, though. Beyond that, a community dedicated to just porn memes wouldn’t be as enjoyable.
Fuck Spez , I have bailed out of Reddit , it is beyond saving because structurally it is built on a flawed concept of assuming benevolent admins who work for the good of the community , and that is no longer the case , they are too far gone to be able to salvage value from that place and we are better off rebuilding better here.
I’m truly hoping almost every subreddits come to using an alternative like this and shut down their original subreddits. Less things to see on reddit means less traffic, less things to see, less ad revenue, less odds for the website to survive. The proper way to have a good ol’ fashioned mutiny.
Thank you for being consequent!
I just joined this website and I am very glad to join along for the ride. I hope more subreddits follow this kind of alternative and delete their subs so Reddit can be left in the dust from barely having anything left to see. Would be a justified end for their greed.
What was your initial reaction when they suddenly created a rule to fire you and blacklist you from being mod again out of nowhere? Must have been quite the surprise, albeit not unexpected.
They really should lock that sub down, migrate to a full NSFW sub, and leave all new posts pending mod approval with a message from automod directing them to here or the new sub.
Last I checked, there has not been a post in over 6 hours.
Yeah, they have it set to manual approval atm
At some point Reddit will just ban all the mods and install their own
That’s when the members need to take keeping the sub NSFW into their own hands.
They can ban the mods but if /r/interestingasfuck can’t find new mods for 22 days and counting then /r/dndmemes will probably stay empty for even longer.
What happened to interesting as fuck?
Serious question: Which DND races did you enjoy seeing fuck/be fucked and will you be encouraging that DISGUSTING (👀) behaviour here?
Because I’ll be honest… I kinda enjoyed the smut.
Made me enjoy shortstacks a lot. Both males and females. There’s always been a weird spark within me for something being able to be both cute and sexy at the same time.
No the great one, but I’m going to be completely honest with you. In the course of making memes where I discovered H games like cloud Meadows when I was searching for art.
I might be attracted to Giants. But not gross looking ones you know I’m talking like hot 10 feet tall guys.
Other than that bugbears, but I think that’s also a size difference fetish.
… have I just wanted to date basketball players all this time?
🧐
I really enjoyed the kobolds and dragons
I might be attracted to Giants. But not gross looking ones you know I’m talking like hot 10 feet tall guys
Like this guy?
Ooh. … giggity?
😉
This actually on while I was searching for an attractive half Giant, I actually found this Manga about a 6 foot one boy who goes to a fantasy world, but he is considered a dwarf, and he is immediately declared the bride of the prince of the Giants.
( bright as a gender neutral term for a non-royal spouse of a royal in this world)
Is this dude from MMO make an ogre or something?
I truly appreciate you interacting with my comment .
Thank you so much.

Firbolg Barbarian, D&D 5e.
Other than that bugbears
Here, have another picture:
I enjoyed the goblins more than anything else. Didn’t realize I had a Shortstack thing.
Why hello there!
“STOP, HE’S ALREADY DEAD!”
Casually taunting the poor user with your goblins XD
Are you in contact with the other two mods who got kicked? u/4cheese u/EquivalentInflation? How did the admins decide who got the hammer?
Cheers for moving over! I’ll almost miss the 50/50 nature of that sub being NSFW
How does it feel to be a god? We all know you cannot kill a god, theirs was a grand and intoxicating innocence.
It sucks but it wasn’t exactly unexpected. I salute you for sticking to your guns and protesting corporate bullshit in the most effective way you could.
Since Reddit is clearly saying that protesting within the system is not permitted, I’m going the only route left which is complete boycott. Unless I hear about them very publicly walking back policies and issuing a convincingly self deprecating apology (and I’m not holding my breath) I will not be using Reddit at all. They get no traffic from me, no demographic information, nothing that they can monetize, just nothing. I only really used it for the memes anyway so fuck 'em.
Also while I totally supported the entire NSFW protest angle I did very quickly grow tired of endless pictures of Kobold pussy and dragon dicks. “Sex positive” is one of those legitimate terms that is most often used by people who want to justify immature behavior. I supported that behavior as a form of protest but very quickly tire of such content when it’s flooding a feed. Because I’m not twelve and every single one of those lewd/smut memes I saw was just the sort of juvenile “lookit da nekkids and s3xx0rz” garbage that amused me in middle school with people tacking on comically flimsy excuses to pretend it was serious intellectual content. The protest didn’t work and I seriously won’t mind if I don’t see another goblin boob for some time.
