Humor, jokes, memes about TTRPGs
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.
Just to add, sorting All by Top Hour/6H keeps the content fresh. The default Active sorts by comments and favors 1-2 day old threads while Hot regularly resurfaces weeks old threads for some reason.
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?
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.
Legend. Just registered here too after the coward decision from Reddit Admins. Other than cats and NCD I'm barely active now.

Assuming that's the NCD you're talking about that seems to be its largest fediverse community.
Just a little tip: If you use a browser (PC or mobile), you can simply write !noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works and it will automatically convert the link so that people directly can subscribe regardless on which server they are.
I have a spicy question for you!
...did you have a favourite NSFW meme I made?
Image Transcription:

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?
🙏❤️
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.
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.
Last I checked, there has not been a post in over 6 hours.
Yeah, they have it set to manual approval atm
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.
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?
🧐

Like this guy?
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.
A king till the very end. A hero who went out with a blast. In a word: based.
What was it like to be a mod for a community that has more than a million users?
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 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.
Cheers for moving over! I'll almost miss the 50/50 nature of that sub being NSFW
You god damn hero. Thank you for your service.
Sorry to hear about your ban, it was an honorable protest. What was your favorite meme that you saw in your time?
AMA
What's a moment you've really enjoyed in a game recently?
I've had a weekly 5e game with some old college friends that's been running for 4+ years. We started at level 1 and just turned level 19. During the last fight I ended in the center of an enemy's casting of Meteor Swarm and was unscathed thanks to my Shield Master feat. That was pretty great!
Any thoughts on having the main DNDmemes sub very very very actively signpost people to join here?
do you have a particular fave meme from the NSFW storm you were able to save before the purge? if so, could you show us? all for research purposes of course...
Is it hard to walk with those iron balls between your legs.
For real though. Thanks for your efforts and making a stand.
I wasn't in that sub and I may be the only Lemmy user who doesn't play DnD, but even I've heard tales of your antics. Welcome to the Fediverse!
Just came here to say "fuck spez" and "thanks for the good times dalimey"
Thanks for all the work you put in, the frankly great content we got out of the NSFW protest, and for sticking to your guns. Took me a minute to figure out how to work this site, but I'm happy now that I'm here, and look forward to sticking around and seeing what nonsense we get up to here.
Absolutely pathetic how reddit handled this.
Thoughts on Snitties?
Constantly
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?
Yes! We have a discord. They're doing well, one's justifiably frustrated because they'd been working on a post and finished writing it a few hours before getting banned. The mods they picked had approved memes that were marked as smut/lewd.
I signed up for lemmy a while back and well... I should go touch grass for a bit before jumping back into something like lemmy. 😅
Hello. I would like to name a NPC in my campaign after you. Do you have any preference in class or race?
got no question, just wanted to say you dropped this king 👑
No questions here, just saw the reddit post and came here to say massive respect to you
