NSFW Reddit community r/horny has rebranded itself as a a "Christian Minecraft server" to protest its API pricing policy.

Here’s the mod post:

Dear Beloved Community,

We gather here today on our transformed Christian Minecraft server, and we have some news to share. Our mod team has made a difficult decision, one that may come as a surprise to some. Brace yourselves, for we are bidding farewell to our NSFW content.

Why, you ask? Well, let us shed some light on the matter. The winds of change have blown across the vast Reddit landscape, and the terrain has become treacherous. Alas, our valiant mod team can no longer ensure the safety and well-being of our members while navigating the realms of NSFW content. Fear not, dear friends, for this decision was not made lightly. We hold our community’s best interests close to our hearts.

We understand that many of you have reveled in the spicy delights of our NSFW offerings, but worry not! We remain committed to fostering a vibrant and wholesome environment, one that embodies the spirit of this Christian Minecraft server. Together, we can embark on a new chapter filled with joy, laughter, and delightful SFW (Safe For Work) content.

We implore you, our cherished members, to embrace this change with open arms. Let us channel our creative energies toward crafting entertaining, funny, and uplifting posts that will warm even the coldest of creepers’ hearts. Our mission remains unchanged: to create a safe haven for all, where respect, kindness, and good vibes thrive.

Though we bid farewell to our NSFW past, let us not dwell on what has passed, but rather look forward to what lies ahead. We stand united, ready to build an even stronger community, one that will bring smiles to faces far and wide.

Thank you, dear friends, for your understanding and unwavering support. Together, let us journey into this new era of our Christian Minecraft server and forge unforgettable memories. Praise the mods, praise the admins (maybe just a little), and let the SFW festivities commence!

With love and gratitude,

Moderators of the Christian Minecraft Server

    This is all a reminder that Reddit was never anything special - the people on it were. The trending of malicious compliance by moderators to an abusive CEO really highlights how exceptional people can be. This whole following corrupt rules thing in a way that just lets the corruption burn itself out is fucking beautiful.

    …it’s like a captain going down with the ship, while cracking Chuck Norris jokes all the way to the grave. This is what the internet was made for.

      Steve really is something. Imagine thinking you can pick a fight with the internet and win. That is perhaps the most delusional thought any person can ever have.

      This is a summation of capitalism in general. The people at top think they are the captains of industry We just need to keep reminding ourselves that those of us down in the hulls, rowing the ships and cracking jokes and memes to keep ourselves going are the ones that keep these rotting hulks sailing.
