It's been like one or two weeks, under which overlooking at local subscriptions on https://teddit.net is becoming really slow.

Refreshing, or loading a particular entry has become really slow.

Haven't tried https://libredd.it instead yet, since I do prefer the teddit interface.

Is it just me? Would it be just teddit, or libreddit as well?

Thanks !

Edit: libreddit is pretty slow as well, :(

Edit 2: Things look better on libredd.it now, teddit still seems way slow, though better. That sort of tells me the issue affects teddit more. Actually on libredd.it it feels like one or two weeks back now. I'm staying with libredd.it on compact mode then, though I preferred teddit UI, since I no longer feel the same slowness as before, neither as with teddit. So to me, issue is sort of gone. Thanks all !

The original call to address vaccine misinformation

This post

The Admin post this post is in response to

This is what the post says:

Response to Yesterday's Admin Post

Yesterday, over a thousand communities on Reddit made posts to their subreddits, calling for Reddit to take action against harmful misinformation on their site. These posts collectively gathered hundreds of thousands of upvotes, with users showing their support in the comments, and several large media outlets picking it up. Subsequently the admins posted a response to /r/Announcements, in which they stated that this misinformation would be allowed on their site, and that they will continue to action communities that violate their sitewide rules, including encouraging fake vaccine cards & "encouraging harm". They finished the announcement with a thinly veiled threat of punishing moderators who have participated in this protest, if it continues. The post was immediately locked, making it impossible to directly respond to.

This statement from the admins is hypocritical, dishonest, and misrepresentative of the situation on their site. They are portraying the misinformation as simply discussion that criticises the majority opinion, when it is far more than that: It is discussion that actively advises against government guidelines, opting to follow disproven studies and anecdotal evidence. As stated in our original letter, this type of misinformation is dangerous. The admins are pretending like it is not. As redditors, we should come together against this harmful propaganda.

Reddit's CEO /u/spez is claiming that the admins will take action on communities that "encourage harm", while allowing subreddits that advocate not taking an FDA-approved vaccine in favor of taking unapproved drugs, the effects of which have not been studied. Most notably is Ivermectin, a drug used to treat parasites and that the FDA has explicitly advised against using for Covid is often recommended by antivaxx subreddits, most notably r/Ivermectin. This type of misinformation is actively endangering people. The admins are simply sticking their head in the sand, and refusing to take any responsibility for the damage that their inaction is causing.

Until Reddit takes action, we will continue to speak out against subreddits which exist solely to spread medical disinformation.

Here's how you can help: When you see antivaxx comments or submissions report them to the admins using this link:
