@dingus this is my favorite protest so far and I love how creative subreddit mods are getting - one last salting of the earth before they quit the site for good!
it really is very refreshing. I am oddly comforted by seeing there's still a fighting spirit among many internet users
This is a great protest technique that I think everyone can get behind because it's fun. It might actually increase engagement in the short term as everyone wants to mess around with it, but in the long term if this stays active it hurts the subs actual usability.
@Skray @dingus @tensquiggles It's both really funny and entirely ruining the user experience - makes Reddit think the protest failed short term While making it more powerful in the long run
You can't win u/spez, if you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
I especially love that this is going to give all other subreddits that are still in protest the idea of doing the same thing, or build on the idea. genius.
