Reddit does not use a safelist, you can post just about anything. I imagine there might be a blocklist for known malicious domains. Individual subreddits will have their own rules, and automod can be pretty easily configured with your own safe/block lists.
- kristofferR 4y agoThe blocklist is quite stupid though, the .ru TLD is totally banned, for example. Russia is obviously hated due to their war, but banning .ru is just dumb.
- consumer451 4y ago> banning .ru is just dumb. Why? Is it perfect, no. But perfect is the enemy of good. If it noticeably reduces posts and votes which Reddit's teams have to deal with, while also no having a material effect on the general user experience, then why not use geo-blocking?
- babypuncher 4y agoI would say > 95% of .ru domains I come across are malicious so it doesn't seem that unreasonable.
