- The Redis mailing list with 6700 members is being moved to Reddit, though the list will still exist for announcements and critical info.
- The mailing list is not as vital as it should be, with repetitive questions and important topics often overlooked.
- Twitter shows that people have moved away from email, but it's unsuitable for in-depth discussions.
- Reddit is chosen because it has a voting system to highlight quality content, a sidebar for FAQs, and gamification features.
- The plan is to take over the /r/redis subreddit and modify it to accept only comment submissions, eventually making Reddit the primary discussion forum.
- This is an experiment; if it fails, they may return to the mailing list or try Discourse.
- Email is no longer scalable for community discussions due to the volume of messages.

- The piece reflects broader frustration with platform changes that prioritize corporate value extraction over user experience.

A peek into Reddit's anti-spam internals
3 months ago
- An unusual bug exposed internal Reddit spam removal reasons to a moderator in 2021.
- Spam removal systems include 'spamurai' (rules-based), 'spammit' (percentage scoring), and shadowbans.
- Domain bans and keyword filters (e.g., 'torenteu') are used to block spam links.
- Reddit uses the Perspective API to detect spam, but this API is being shut down in 2026.
- Spamurai logs extensive data: account age, karma, reports, ISP, user agent, TLS fingerprints, and more.
- URL inspection can follow redirects to detect banned patterns, leading to account bans.
- Anti-spam systems have evolved from CRM114 to REV1, Snooron, and REV2, likely using Lua rules.
- The author withheld details for years to avoid aiding spammers, but now sees the information as less critical due to API deprecation and LLMs.
