Fuck spez
Hey…
You seem popular, it may be a good idea to invest in some queuing poles and velvet ropes for all the people that want to have intercourse with you

He probably bought his girl a nice diamond necklace with the additional funds reddit makes from charging for API access.
She’s probably fucking him along with her friends, lol. Money!
I like this kind of protest. Using their own rules against them. But, you know admins are going to do something. r/PICS are keeping up the good work where others have folded and I salute them from the fediverse.
We understand that you are likely very busy, so we will wait until Friday, July 7th before taking any additional steps.
Dear Admins,
these are our balls. Please direct your attention at how enormous they are.
Edit: I wonder what will happen next. Maybe only screenshots of the open letter are allowed.
Greatest mods on Reddit.
Btw the 2 or 3 subs I subscribed to that didn’t do jack shit to protest can suck it. Looking at you, polandball.
Polandball didnt participate? Holy shit what a waste
I didn’t realize polandball didn’t participate, that’s disappointing to hear.
I’m fully behind the moderators and read their well crafted response, but the admins are going to nitpick the definition of “sudden” and kick out all the mods. /r/pics was one of their highest ad revenue boards and they can’t let that happen.
Honestly, what’s stopping mods from just enshittfying the sub. Like, make it text posts only. Remove all images and see how it impacts the traffic.
They closer they walk the line, the longer they can drag this out before they’re replaced. That means more subscribers move on to other active communities.
The videos sub is text posts only now. Must be text posts describing videos lmao
This guys are litterally pissing on the captain while the Titanic sinks. Quite the move.

Fuck you, Spez
the meantime, to ensure that /r/PICS is adhering to all of Reddit’s guidelines and requests, we would be happy to revert the NSFW setting, restrict posting, and remove any and all content that could be considered “offensive” by anyone.
They’re gonna nuke the sub next and I’m loving it
They’ve gone too far to turn back now!
Lmao, next post is the official “We’re moving to Kbin” post.
Was anyone seriously considering reddit ever again after this? That site is dead and buried. It’s a sinking ship.
One must have no mind at all to take that place seriously at this point. No consistency, no fairness, no honesty, no integrity. One never knows what to expect nor from where to expect it.
Hell, they don’t seem to know what they’re doing. Their admins fight over who does what to whom and apparently they close subs then threaten themselves demanding that they reopen them. This didn’t have to be a big mess but it was forced to be one anyway and there’s no sense in trusting it to get any better.

What? Where and when did this happen?
Sorry, I don’t know where I saw that but one of the “Reddit admins close down a subreddit” posts around here has someone talking about that happening, and some others mention mod actions being done/undone/partially re-done over time due to internal confusion or struggles or whatever. It seems clear no one knows what Reddit is doing, inside the company or out.
Hell, maybe the bots are doing the adminning too. There’s no foolishness like absolute foolishness, yes?
Ah I think I remember that. It was r/mildlyinteresting iirc - an admin demodded the entire mod team for breaking a rule that they didn’t actually break (they filled the flag but didn’t actually allow any NSFW) and a different admin added them back.
This is the malicious compliance content we all crave.
Wonderful, I hope they burn the sub to the ground before reddit makes any more ad revenue off it.
ngl, I hope they figure out more malicious compliance to make the Reddit management looks like fools before nuking it from orbit.
“[T]o make the Reddit management looks like fools…”
Reddit management has already taken care of this.
Excellent. John would be proud.
No, he wouldn’t. He would say continuing to visit a site you are protesting against isn’t a protest at all.
This is just incorrect.
What you are describing is a boycott. And it’s probably true that that’s the most powerful thing a normal user can do against reddit.
But mods can do much more by messing with their sub. In terms of headache caused.
They’re driving away the holdouts by making the content useless. I think that’s better than just leaving, burn it down on your way out.
He’d be all for both, but he certainly likes malicious compliance as protest when feasible.
They look to be enjoying their malicious compliance, and so am I.
