An undoubtedly horrific subreddit that always seemed to comply with reddit TOS and the admins has been banned, probably related to the NZ shooting video that was in the subreddit yesterday until it was taken down by admins. Looks like they're getting ahead of MSM discovering that this shit exists on the site?
Will add any updates here.
r/gore is gone as well.
From @nacho:
It's not ahead of controversy, it's in response to the Reuters article calling out /r/watchpeopledie.
Members of a group called “watchpeopledie” on internet discussion board Reddit, for example, discussed how to share the footage even as the website took steps to limit its spread.
Reddit - which has over 20 investors, including Conde Nast owner Advance Publications - said it was actively monitoring the situation in New Zealand.
“Any content containing links to the video stream are being removed in accordance with our site-wide policy,” it said.

So we have many communities and everyone gets free *nix shell access, you can ssh into the remote server (mostly ubuntu) and do whatever you want! I mostly go there to talk with other users.
It is all old school, we use the command line and there is no gui that you can work with. You have to use the cli for everything you do (easy to learn).
You can -
- learn programming
- make webpages
- make new friends
- play games
- learn more about *nix
and much more.
See https://tildeverse.org to get started. (https://tilde.team/wiki/?page=other-tildes for more tilde servers)
I'll suggest you to join ctrl-c.club or tilde.town and then try other servers. You can make account everywhere ofc. I am ~cyaniventer on tildeverse, see ctrl-c.club/~cyaniventer

Is it a good idea to use an AWS server as a vpn?
I have an amazon server that I use to host my email and my simple website. I'm considering setting a vpn up on it, but I'm not sure if it's worth it. Would my data be as secure as with 3rd party...
I have an amazon server that I use to host my email and my simple website. I'm considering setting a vpn up on it, but I'm not sure if it's worth it. Would my data be as secure as with 3rd party vpns? Would Amazon see my traffic? It seems like if I go this route, anything that I do could be traced back to me, because the see the ip of my server and than ask amazon who owns it.
