    I mean, they aren’t going to feel the need to explain themselves, but I suspect that this will make for quite the New York Times article.

      Yes. That’s what I’m talking about. It would just sound so funny. I can already see the headline “Reddit banns r/Anime_Titties Moderator for allowing anime titties”

      What is funny is that tits itself aren’t even pornographic so you technically don’t even have to “warn” anyone.

        @tal May not be “porn” but it’s still not something I feel like explaining to my boss.

          A pretty common convention on Reddit, started by, if I recall correctly, /r/earthporn, is that many major subreddits, like /r/foodporn and such, devoted to non-pornographic images end in “-porn”, where “-porn” just means “attractive image”. If you’re going to be browsing images on Reddit during work hours and the issue that your boss is going to have is with you browsing a non-pornographic site that has a pornographic name, you’re probably in for some explaining anyway.

          EDIT: Oh, if you mean that you’re objecting to tits in general being on the sub rather than reading news on /r/anime_titties, disregard.

            The time has come to end the -porn suffix.

            If you’re setting up a new community go with -pics.

            Yeah, those URLs are being logged somewhere. If they really care, somebody would’ve already asked for an explanation.

              Well, if they have local software on your computer or you’re going through a SOCKS proxy or they have their own CA root inserted on your work computer and so can monitor any of your TLS communications, yeah.

              But normally you’re talking to Reddit over TLS, so all that’s exposed to the network in plaintext is the domain, reddit.com – that’s exchanged in the handshake in plaintext to facilitate virtual hosts, where multiple websites live on one server. It doesn’t expose the path to the file requested to the network in plaintext, which is where the subreddit name is.

              I would guess that he’s more worried about his manager walking by his desk.
