After nearly a week of mass protests on Reddit directed at its management, the company’s strategy appears to be simple: power through.

    Not just preparing, it’s happening. I’m sure everyone’s heard about r/pics and r/gifs opening but only posting John Oliver, but here are some links to other mod posts for some subreddits that have been forced to reopen (some of them make for fairly depressing reading):

    • r/steam forced to reopen or lose their subreddit
    • r/tall again forced to reopen under threat of being removed as mods, users are posting John Longiver pics
    • r/watchpeopledieinside forced to reopen but will keep pushing for change
    • r/piracy’s top mods have been demoted to force them to reopen
    • r/theyknew forced to reopen but only if the first image in every post is a protest image
    • r/horny is now a “christian minecraft server”
    • r/scams forced to reopen but are changing their policies to deliberately mod more aggressively and slowly.
    • r/iphone is posting only pics of Tim Cook “looking dashing”.

      r/piracy’s top mods have been demoted to force them to reopen

      So, reddit promotes piracy an child porn (u/spez mod of r/jailbait)

      Next step mods should make their subreddits NSFW, so they don’t show on r/all and r/popular

      • /r/steam is getting steamy. Some users are blowing their safeties, but the sub seems to be on board with posting things relating to steam, and steam engines.
