Reddit’s Goon Cave Community Has Been Banned
Reddit’s Goon Cave Community Has Been Banned
r/GoonCaves has been banned for violating Reddit’s non-consensual intimate media rules.
Makes sense, I thought it was about goons (crime) or gooning (evil goon voice "what up, boss?", "Yes boss").
There are multiple meanings. "Hired thug" is also one of them.
fuckin hell. Why are so many weirdos on reddit?
"The Web brings people together because no matter what kind of a twisted sexual mutant you happen to be, you've got millions of pals out there. Type in 'Find people that have sex with goats that are on fire'and the computer will say, 'Specify type of goat.'"
- Richard Jeni, 1998
There are a lot of people on Reddit and Reddit makes it easy to organize by whatever degenerate interests someone may have, such as sharing their goon cave
I had to websearch the term to know what they were talking about. Pfft, internet oddities.
Case in point. At least some side is lying here; either the people from r/gooncaves or the Reddit administration. And given their modus operandi I'm placing my bets on the admins lying.
Frankly, at this rate someone might end suing Reddit for libel in those ban messages. I think that it deserves it.
I just love that you found out what gooners were today and they seem more trustworthy than reddit admins
Look man, gooners just wanna jack it in peace.
This is analog to the whole bear in a forest question and women. If it involves Reddit, it's bears, every single time.
arranging gooning meetups
What?
“Gooning is a flow state: an extended edging session marked by mindlessness, loss of control, and total surrender,”
I had to stop reading this shit. I can’t believe there’s an article about it. I guess 404 can go ahead and go bankrupt, fuck off.
Edit, to be fair, it was a quote from a Vice article.
Just some gooning with the bois.
I wouldn't be surprised if the ban was a pretext and the sub was just something admins found objectionable for their own reasons. Like as long as mods remove material and users when an issue is brought to their attention then the sub should be fine.
The fact they don't know why it happened is telling that they weren't given a real chance to correct the issue. Just centralised social media things I guess.
Reddit is notorious to responding to financial incentives. In the past they would ban communities only when they became toxic to advertisers due to overwhelming negative publicity. During those purges, they would often throw in some leftist subs to prevent the user-base political average from shifting leftward, but the purges were never proactive.
I think we've entered a new era where Reddit is no longer as concerned about which subs may scare advertisers, and are more concerned about which subs generate the kind of content that is valuable to LLM training. If I were training the next version of ChatGPT, I would be alarmed if a text prompt spontaneously invited me to masturbate with it, or prompts for images of a "battle station" resulted in walls of women having sex.
Probably Splez thinks we should be saving our speem and also tanning our testicles like Tucker Carson.
You read an article about gooning and you’re upset that you’ve now learned what gooning is???
The article is about reddit banning a community for no real reason with no option for recourse. My issue was I thought that was kind of an over the top description.
It is sooo Reddit to ban without any explanation. Not like i care about any community over there. Reddit can fuck itself.
Reddit can fuck itself.
I thought that's what they banned
Sure, they take years to ban things like r/jailbait and all those fascist subs, but people with rooms to jerk off in a step too far.
I have zero interest one way or another in people who have the resources to devote a space to this, or the ego to want to share that space. It's a completely foreign interest to me. But to ban people on the internet for being sexual in a way you don't understand is equally beyond me.
Some go as far as to define themselves as ‘pornosexuals,’ people with a sexual preference for porn over real-life sex.”
Y'all motherfuckers need Jesus.
What is this? Joseph Gordon Levitt's hit movie 'Don Jon'?
Jesus porn
So obviously I'm an idiot, I thought GoonCaves was the group people posted pictures of computer rooms overflowing with empty coke bottles, cigarette butts, fast food containers, and the occasional piss jug. What group am I thinking of?
EDIT: NeckbeardNests, that's what I was thinking of. Now see, that's just wholesome internet content.
Oh no. Anyways ...
Fly high, Gooners.
Is that false flag operation r/AgainstHateSubreddits still operating?
Rip r/ChurchOfTheCurrentThing
noooo, that used to be my favorite subreddit to scroll with my husband and go "What the hell is wrong with these people!"
They had this great elitism about how a proper Goon setup needs as many monitors as possible, which is such an arbitrary thing to get hung up on when your hobby is watching porn all day. It was fascinating to watch!
Thought it might have been related to Goon Bags - cask wine in Austraila.
4 hour gooning sessions are over
Bring them to !gooncaves@lemmynsfw.com
Most normal subreddit:
I can't imagine anyone wanted to mod that sub, so they probably banned it because it was undermoderated
Lol, nothing of value was lost.
I miss r/Coomer though, it existed to mock and insult people who have a very unhealthy habit of masturbating and sexual addiction (particularly to lolicon). Like, fuck, sex and masturbating isn't bad on it's own but it shouldn't be your god damn identity.

You missing a community dedicated to mock & harass people who probably need actual help with coping really says a lot about you.
Sure it has no value. But what ban it though? The beauty of the site was always its niche communities. Now r/all is Facebook with Strangers.
