Multiple subreddits are adopting alternative methods of protesting like publishing only one kind of post and private days.

Excellent work

  • Some of the biggest communities like r/pics, r/aww, and r/GIF decided to post John Oliver pictures and GIFs. In a tweet, Oliver approved this move.
  • In the case of r/aww, the community is also allowed to post pictures of Chiijohn.
  • r/iPhone decided to post pictures celebrating “dashing” Tim Cook.
  • r/Shitposting banned posts with the letter k.
  • r/Wellthatsucks is now a subreddit about vacuum cleaners.
  • r/Nofans is now a passive PC cooler subreddit.
  • r/Interestingasfuck removed a lot of all rules apart from asking members to not break site-wide rules.
  • r/Memes is allowing only Medieval / Landed Gentry memes. This is in response to Huffman’s “Landed Gentry” comment about protesting subreddits.
  • r/PokemonGo is now allowing pictures of John Oliver, Pikachu, or Spark.
  • r/Horny is now a “Christian Minecraft server.”
  • r/Steam members are posting about actual steam.
  • r/HarryPotter is now referring to Huffman as Voldemort.
  • Some subreddits such as r/Showerthoughts are determining close days for the community.

Glorious.

I feel you, but in the end it’s just garbage content to piss off reddit admins and execs. Personally, I’d rather get quality content from the fediverse now, but I can understand that some people want to burn that other place down.

It feels empowering to be part of a pissed off collective.

THAT’S what a rundown is!

I did, it was glorious!

Trust me, the shit show is glorious. I even instinctively upvoted a couple of medieval memes but quickly realized what I was doing and closed the tab.

Absolutely fucking glorious!

It makes me so happy seeing reddit come together against this bullshit

Shitposting is funny because the auto mod they are using to remove posts cites removing the post in order to save bandwidth for Reddit. The auto mod post is much longer than post being removed and contains K’s. I found it funny anyway.

What a bowl of fresh air.

Thank you, nice compilation

I’d like to know more about the “determining close days” for some subreddits. Won’t they just open them back up?

I love to see the malicious compliance.

Some subs like r/fuckcars will be doing “touch grass Tuesday”, where the sub will be restricted every Tuesday.

I think r/HarryPotter is still polling the same idea. Which gets me wonder what if most of the popular subs decided to do this.

One of the legal advice subs – I can’t remember which – was going forward requiring post approval from mods because they value community safety. But as they are unpaid volunteers they estimate it could take up to 14 days for post approval.

I think that was /r/scams. Their post was fantastic

Oh man. I wouldn’t want to anger a bunch of people who make it a hobby to fight scammers in a social psychology arms race.

The only thing that could have made it better would be if they added a “Moderators need to work much more inefficiently now due to having to use the official reddit app’s terrible UI”

It is like watching a slow train wreck. You know you should just look away, but you just cannot.

Absolutely amazing, what other subreddits are thinking to follow suite?

Bread stapled to trees is only going to allow four subjects moving forward on certain weeks, one of which is John Oliver, another being literal garbage, lol.

r/Nofans is now a passive PC cooler subreddit.

That should be a nice complement to r/onlyfans

…I’m afraid to ask what “nofans” used to be. I hadn’t heard of it before.

Don’t be afraid. Nofans - short for - No onlyfans - meaning content of normal women not out to make money (there was a version for couples too)
Maybe someone should bring it back here somewhere.

Let’s be real if you want to gain popularity for your R****t alternative you just need porn and such (if you seperate the paid kind from the free link stuff you are golden and will grow fast sadly my knowledge on how to create such a place are limited in the programming department.

/r/Piracy also celebrated the fact that reddit officially endorsed them.

/r/woodworking is debating going back to normal, or posting pictures of Norm Abrams and Nick Offerman. I’ll let you guess which one is winning.

r/formula1 is reopening as NSFW to “comply to the fullest extent of our abilities with these changes”:

Formula 1 is inherently dangerous. Crashes and injuries are not uncommon - some even with fatal results. These incidents are discussed on r/formula1, and videos, images and other media are posted following these events.

Formula 1 includes messaging and sponsors that are connected to alcohol, tobacco and gambling - all of which are legislatively prohibited or age restricted in various locations. We cannot prevent these from being displayed to underaged users, as they are incorporated in general Formula 1 imagery and content.

Formula 1 is known for, both in the past and today, to include certain risque imagery that fall within the NSFW space.

Reddit’s User Agreement states that “Children under the age of 13 are not allowed to create an Account or otherwise use the Services.” - As such it stands to reason that persons under legal age participate in r/formula1.

Switching our classification means Reddit’s age verification shields underage users from being exposed to content considered harmful.
