Seems like it would be pretty trivial to make a botnet that just went around blocking users from every new top comment/post. Even better if you just manually do it with that old, organic account you never got around to deleting. That would very easily cause a huge disruption for Reddit.
Australia's usually really strict when it comes to violence in video games, but the Silent Hill series isn't really known for intense gore. Though, the trailer looked a bit like it was going to be a bit body horror-focused (I got lots of Junji Ito vibes from it), so maybe SH:F will actually be a bit bloodier than other SH games.
This has been my approach so far. I try to walk with a particularly heavy footfall past that area, so that hopefully my presence is known in advance. So far, nothing's gotten close enough to be a concern. I've sometimes looked back and seen them crossing the street some distance behind me so I know they're active at the time, so maybe they are hearing me and keeping a distance.
Yeah, I was going to suggest a data export, as this will often give you a handful of files, most importantly would be a CSV containing all your posts. It would probably be relatively easy to automate the process with that file.
all data on plebbit is text-only, you cannot upload media.
I worry this still puts the "host" of a community at risk. In some jurisdictions, storing functional links to CSAM on your device, even in text form, is effectively the same thing as saving the actual media file locally. This means that a community admin would need to have some sort of system in place on their own machine to scan and remove those, which there doesn't currently seem to be a mechanism in place to do automatically.
Right now, it seems like a lot more responsibility for the end-user when creating a community, as opposed to the relatively consequence-free route of creating a community on Lemmy/Reddit.
So, I don't think this is asshole design, as much as it is a misunderstanding of the mechanics of how this type of blade actually works. I can't find a close-up pic of the blade, but from what I can tell it doesn't look like you'd actually be achieving anything by reversing it.
