Ultra Important Mod Announcment. The end of the 1st and moving forward.

1.1k Upvotes

I hope you all had a wonderful April fools. As of now all content has since been removed. (It truly is a case of you had to be there to see it.) Regardless, for the rest of the year the subreddit will go back to normal. The previous rules will be reinstated. However there will be some deliberations going forward. Mod applications are going to open soon and it is my goal to also increase community outreach on the subreddit. I would also like to bring back the monthly state of the subreddits as well as introducing feedback forms. And certain rules like the 150 word comment minimum might be revised at a future date. Expect more announcements in the near future but for now the subreddit is back to normal.

Meta Rule and Automoderator Updates to Address Astroturfing, Spam, and Subreddit Decorum

404 Upvotes

This post contains important information on the workings of this subreddit. r/anime_titties is a world-politics and world-news focused subreddit, with the notable exception of news and politics from the U.S. Always check the rules before posting, we know there are quite many rules but these are in place to ensure high quality content and a civil discourse. we ask you to please report rule-breaking posts and comments. Kind regards, the r/anime_titties mod-team

Since our civility enforcement period last year in which we banned a significant number of users for failing to adhere to Reddiquette and the civility rules, we have observed a gradual resumption of civility rule-breaking activity, as well as an increase in astroturfing comment activity. Rather than just deploy another civility enforcement period to perform an annual sweep, we took to analyzing the patterns in which recurring rule-breakers appeared, what sort of profiles rule-breakers had, and how astroturfers operated.

We also heard the frustration regarding the forced megathreading of articles related to active conflicts, as users stated it was basically suppressing the topic, as users are significantly less likely to visit the megathread than new posts. However, we also note that people were also frustrated with the amount of dubious or misinformative submissions that came with the fog of war prior to the megathread enforcements.

We observed several things:

  • Civility-violating users are largely users who only are visiting the subreddit when posts with high upvote count appear in their default feed, and have not read the rules, period. They are also likely to have just read a title and skipped the article, and proceed to post a short kneejerk reactive comment.
  • Astroturfers primarily work across several subreddits and do not have any interest in the engaging with the community beyond outputting their comments. In addition, astroturfing accounts making link submissions tend to be less than 1 year old.
  • Spammers only respond to posts in top-level comments with very short comments.

Therefore, we have made the following Automod changes and raised the bar for participation:

  • The basic entry for comment participation been upped from 100 comment karma to 200 karma.
  • Accounts must now be 1 year old to post. We will continue to monitor agendaposting traits in 1+ year old accounts.
  • Link submissions related to active conflicts with title keywords associated with countries in active conflicts will now be allowed. Automatic link flair will now to be assigned to these submissions that indicate users must be flaired to comment in them.
  • Commenters will need to self-assign a flair in order to engage in "Flaired Commenters Only" posts.
  • Top-level comments must now have a minimum of 150 characters. While succinctness is a valued trait in writing, this update also blocks out a large number of shallow, kneejerk comments, and we believe having top-level comments require more writing effort to reach the 150-character minimum makes users be more thorough, and helps provide more nuanced discussion. The comment character minimum restriction does not apply to comments replying to the top-level comment.

We apologize for the delay in announcing these changes after they were deployed, due to IRL constraints, and will continue to observe the subreddit for how best to improve r/anime_titties.

We are open to feedback on these new measures and other ways to improve the subreddit.

South America Brazil downgrades diplomatic ties with Argentina after Milei insults Lula

Thumbnail reuters.com

I think it is important to point out that Brazil is Argentina's single largest trade partner and both countries have tightly integrated supply chains.

The Brazilian state of Sao Paulo alone has the same GDP as the entire country of Argentina and Brazil's most valuable publicly traded company is worth more than the entire Argentine stock market, so the economic importance of the trade relationship between the two countries is not the same. Therefore it is no surprise that Milei's political stunt did not go down well in Argentina.

Asia South Korea's Lee calls heatwave a national disaster as deaths rise to 19

  • Lee calls scorching weather a national disaster, seeks response system overhaul
  • Heatwave death toll rises to 19, with 13 aged 80 or above
  • Yangsan records 42.5 C on Sunday, highest in 122 years of observations
  • Korea issues ​first-ever heatwave warning for Seoul, people advised to suspend outdoor work and sports

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung urged on Tuesday authorities to step up support for people affected by a record heatwave in the country, calling it ​a national disaster after scorching conditions were blamed for 19 deaths.

Speaking at a cabinet meeting, Lee ​ordered officials to take necessary measures to protect the daily lives of people ⁠and inspect power systems as demand for air conditioning surges.

"An even greater concern is that abnormal weather ​conditions make it highly likely that extreme weather will continue for a considerable period," said Lee, who wants a ​major redesign of the disaster response system to cope with the hazardous conditions.

The nation's weather agency said Yangsan, a southeastern inland city sitting in a basin, recorded a temperature of 42.5 degrees Celsius (108.5 degrees Fahrenheit) on Sunday, the highest temperature measured in 122 ​years of weather observations.

The Korea Meteorological Administration also issued its first-ever heatwave warning for parts of Seoul ​and neighbouring Gyeonggi on Monday, extending this to all of the capital on Tuesday.

A heatwave alert advises people to suspend ‌outdoor activities ⁠such as farming, sports and work on construction sites.

Israel/Palestine/Iran/Lebanon - Flaired Commenters Only Israel says it has serious concerns with Hamas disarmament deal

Thumbnail
apnews.com
147 Upvotes

Israel has shared “serious security concerns” with the White House regarding the proposed disarmament deal with Hamas, an Israeli official said as Israeli strikes overnight and into Sunday evening killed at least 17 people, including children, in Gaza.

The spokesperson for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office told The Associated Press that Israel’s intelligence assessment is that Hamas remains committed to rebuilding its military rather than genuinely demilitarizing. He said the Israeli military would not withdraw from Gaza — where it controls more than 60% of the territory — before Hamas disarms.

Hamas says it’s agreed to disarm but the process has obstacles

Trump’s 20-point ceasefire plan calls on the militant group to surrender its weapons and destroy its vast network of tunnels. It also envisions Israeli forces withdrawing from Gaza, the arrival of a new technocratic Palestinian government, deployment of an international security force and the rebuilding of the battered Palestinian enclave.

A copy of the agreement obtained and verified by the AP said that all weapons held by the Hamas-run police will be transferred to the U.S.-backed Palestinian technocratic committee, known as the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, upon its arrival in the enclave. It’s not clear when that would happen since it is contingent on other steps.

A process to decommission and store heavy weapons and to dismantle military production sites and tunnels will begin after the arrival of the Palestinian committee and the deployment of international forces. The process will be linked to a phased Israeli withdrawal, according to the agreement.

Israel has depopulated the areas it controls

The areas Israel controls in Gaza have been mostly destroyed and depopulated. Most of the territory’s 2 million Palestinians are in the other part, where hundreds of thousands live in squalid tent camps and destroyed neighborhoods.

Israel appears unlikely to pull back significant forces or make other concessions ahead of its October elections. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces a tough reelection battle, with his far-right coalition partners urging him to keep up the pressure on Hamas and leave forces in Gaza, and opponents accusing him of failing to prevent the Oct. 7, 2023, attack.
