Show HN: Reddit Firehose
Inspired by the upcoming reddit API changes, I built this to (ab)use the existing free-to-use API to view the latest content being posted in a minimalist infinite doom-scrolling web app.
Warning: despite filtering NSFW-tagged content by default, you'll probably see some things that aren't exactly office-friendly. User beware.
- codetrotter 3y agoThis includes NSFW content and weird things. I sometimes forget how many different things are actually being posted to Reddit.
- HotGarbage 3y agoPosts tagged NSFW are filtered out by default, but yeah, a lot of stuff isn't really office safe. Things are weird though. Kind-of a peek at what an unmoderated, non-algorithmic feed would look like.
- incogitor 3y agoDefinitely already seeing illegal content (in basically any jurisdiction) being advertised. Really interesting look into how much of a moderation and legal service nightmare running this site must be.
- quickthrower2 3y agoThe median reddit post is dire!
- marginalia_nu 3y agoI disabled the NSFW filtering. It's safe to say the median reddit post is amateur porn. Although I think in general, much of social media sites are basically icebergs where the subsurface volume is consists of various forms of porn. Tumblr and Mastodon definitely.
