Nah, the technology to fake the moon landing straight up didn't exist in the 60s. There's a really good video on youtube that goes over it but I can't seem to find it right now. But basically, even though there were some nice techniques to make special effects for movies, they wouldn't have worked for faking an actual moon landing.
They can ban the mods but if /r/interestingasfuck can't find new mods for 22 days and counting then /r/dndmemes will probably stay empty for even longer.
It's because it can cause confusion. The only difference between example.com/file.zip and example.com.file.zip is one uses a . and the other a / but both are valid domains. If somebody isn't paying much attention or they don't know much about domain names, they could click thinking to get a zip file from a legitimate site and end up going somewhere malicious instead. No other TLDs have this issue (well, I guess .com technically has it but who the hell is downloading and running com files these days) and they're pretty much exclusively used for this reason so it's a good idea to block them just to be safe.
Not really, it's like hosting your own email server. Sounds great in theory and is a fun project but at the end of the day all you get is a vanity URL and a headache.
I mean, they can but it takes time to do that and until they do /r/pics is adhering to the letter of the law (or at least an interpretation of it) while spitting in the face of the spirit of the law.
Ah, no, swearing is allowed as long as it's vulgarity, profanity is what requires an NSFW tag. It's a very important distinction that the Reddit ToS accidentally makes.
So, in conclusion: Fuck -> No NSFW tag. Hell -> Yes NSFW tag.
Yeah, that's why I love that fact too. Sending a rocket into space and landing on a tiny ball of rock was literally easier than pretending to do it.
