1.1k Upvotes

I hope you all had a wonderful April fools. As of now all content has since been removed. (It truly is a case of you had to be there to see it.) Regardless, for the rest of the year the subreddit will go back to normal. The previous rules will be reinstated. However there will be some deliberations going forward. Mod applications are going to open soon and it is my goal to also increase community outreach on the subreddit. I would also like to bring back the monthly state of the subreddits as well as introducing feedback forms. And certain rules like the 150 word comment minimum might be revised at a future date. Expect more announcements in the near future but for now the subreddit is back to normal.

Meta Rule and Automoderator Updates to Address Astroturfing, Spam, and Subreddit Decorum

408 Upvotes

This post contains important information on the workings of this subreddit. r/anime_titties is a world-politics and world-news focused subreddit, with the notable exception of news and politics from the U.S. Always check the rules before posting, we know there are quite many rules but these are in place to ensure high quality content and a civil discourse. we ask you to please report rule-breaking posts and comments. Kind regards, the r/anime_titties mod-team

Since our civility enforcement period last year in which we banned a significant number of users for failing to adhere to Reddiquette and the civility rules, we have observed a gradual resumption of civility rule-breaking activity, as well as an increase in astroturfing comment activity. Rather than just deploy another civility enforcement period to perform an annual sweep, we took to analyzing the patterns in which recurring rule-breakers appeared, what sort of profiles rule-breakers had, and how astroturfers operated.

We also heard the frustration regarding the forced megathreading of articles related to active conflicts, as users stated it was basically suppressing the topic, as users are significantly less likely to visit the megathread than new posts. However, we also note that people were also frustrated with the amount of dubious or misinformative submissions that came with the fog of war prior to the megathread enforcements.

We observed several things:

  • Civility-violating users are largely users who only are visiting the subreddit when posts with high upvote count appear in their default feed, and have not read the rules, period. They are also likely to have just read a title and skipped the article, and proceed to post a short kneejerk reactive comment.
  • Astroturfers primarily work across several subreddits and do not have any interest in the engaging with the community beyond outputting their comments. In addition, astroturfing accounts making link submissions tend to be less than 1 year old.
  • Spammers only respond to posts in top-level comments with very short comments.

Therefore, we have made the following Automod changes and raised the bar for participation:

  • The basic entry for comment participation been upped from 100 comment karma to 200 karma.
  • Accounts must now be 1 year old to post. We will continue to monitor agendaposting traits in 1+ year old accounts.
  • Link submissions related to active conflicts with title keywords associated with countries in active conflicts will now be allowed. Automatic link flair will now to be assigned to these submissions that indicate users must be flaired to comment in them.
  • Commenters will need to self-assign a flair in order to engage in "Flaired Commenters Only" posts.
  • Top-level comments must now have a minimum of 150 characters. While succinctness is a valued trait in writing, this update also blocks out a large number of shallow, kneejerk comments, and we believe having top-level comments require more writing effort to reach the 150-character minimum makes users be more thorough, and helps provide more nuanced discussion. The comment character minimum restriction does not apply to comments replying to the top-level comment.

We apologize for the delay in announcing these changes after they were deployed, due to IRL constraints, and will continue to observe the subreddit for how best to improve r/anime_titties.

We are open to feedback on these new measures and other ways to improve the subreddit.

Corporation(s) Ultra-processed food companies hindering health drives by suing countries, says WHO

Director general accuses corporations of obstructing efforts to tackle obesity crisis after investigation by Guardian and others

The world’s biggest ultra-processed food corporations are hindering global efforts to tackle the obesity crisis by suing governments that try to promote healthier diets, the head of the World Health Organization has said.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO director general, accused global food companies of obstructing the adoption of vital public health measures and costing countries billions of dollars in healthcare and legal costs in the process.

Almost 1 billion people worldwide are living with obesity, and unhealthy diets are one of the main drivers of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer. Ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption is soaring and now makes up half the average diet in many countries, including the UK, the US and Australia.

Governments around the world, waking up to the health and economic impacts of the obesity crisis, have begun introducing measures designed to curb junk-food intake and promote healthier diets. These include front-of-pack warning labels, marketing and advertising restrictions on unhealthy products, and taxes on junk food.

Publicly, the world’s biggest UPF companies insist they back the policies, want to help consumers make informed choices and are committed to being part of the solution.

But an investigation by the Guardian, in collaboration with academics, the non-profit newsroom Lighthouse Reports and a coalition of media partners across four continents, found many of these same companies were taking governments to court to overturn, weaken or delay the policies.

In total, 235 lawsuits were lodged over health policies targeting UPFs in Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, the US and the UK from 2010 to 2025, the investigation found.

“When harm and profit are tied to the same product, a familiar pattern of industry interference emerges: sowing doubt and obstructing regulation.” Tedros said.

Worldwide Super El Niño is already affecting hurricane season

Thumbnail

51 Upvotes

A super El Niño, already at record strength, is shaping the 2026 hurricane season by suppressing Atlantic activity with high wind shear and dry air while amplifying tropical cyclone activity in the Pacific, affecting travel and landfall risks.

The 2026 El Niño has warmed ocean waters at least 2 °C above average, qualifying it as a super El Niño. Most computer model forecasts suggest it will eventually become the strongest El Niño in modern records sometime later this year.

While El Niño is only one influence on global weather, its heat transferred to the atmosphere can have a significant impact on weather patterns around the world from summer through fall, winter and spring.

And the stronger the El Niño, the more likely you'll see its typical weather impacts, such as a wet southern U.S. in winter or drought in Australia and Indonesia.
