Thank you, this has to be one of the more annoying Reddit conspiracy theories, especially because every year multiple posts with clickbait titles would hit the front page.

That kind of work environment is unsurprising given he idolizes Musks Twitter. From what I have heard, in general Musks companies are known to be horrible to work for.

Why were they so high up?!

Yeah I think making it so low effort content ruins the sub is good enough without allowing NSFW content. I think generally this is the best way for mods to protest though. Let subs become practically useless when community rules no longer are enforced

Got to love the users who entirely miss the point. Complaining that this is ruining their experience, well go complain to Reddit for failing to listen to community feedback and refusing to negotiate.

Users of subs are choosing these paths which is way more user driven than what Reddit admins are doing.

I hope more subs do stuff like this, the Steam sub is trying to be about literal steam but the mods don’t seem to be officially endorsing it yet (users are running with it though)

If Reddit is serious about communities moderating themselves they shouldn’t have a problem with subs becoming useless if that’s what the communities decide they want. I feel like it’s going to provide Reddit another way to show that they are liars though.

Sorting by top day helps. I have actually been sorting by new as well. Not as busy here as it is on Reddit, plus generally high quality so new stuff is pretty good.

I’m only going on there to support stuff like this, at least until Apollo is turned off. Then I’ll mostly be here.

The person who commented on there about changing the subreddit to discuss literal steam has the right idea.

Big subs like r/funny coming back online is a big deal though. Plus the general sentiment in the comments has seemingly shifted away from “fuck Reddit” to “fuck the mods” which is exactly what the admins want.

Unfortunately the protest seems to basically be done. I think Mods should have had a plan to come back but to “quiet quit” and allow communities to go to shit to prove that what they do has value. Plus it would be much harder for Reddit to control that or identify where it’s being done.

Unfortunately it seems there was no real plan beyond the 2 day blackout, which should have been a starting point not a finish line.

I think a lot of mods are attached to the communities they moderate and are afraid of losing them as people get frustrated and leave.

Desantis is truly committed to doing nothing to help Floridians.

No, but if convicted he would die of old age in prison. If death penalty were on the table he would probably die of old age before it was actually done.
