I am sure they are breaking some made up rule the Admins will start enforcing in the next couple of days.

Whatever that rule is, I bet the mods at /r/interestingasfuck are ready to enforce it.
Sadly, it seems like interestingasfuck is now in read-only mode.
Good thing that the blackout is nothing to worry about, lol.
The enemy is weak and at the same time strong. Yeah.
I'll be honest, the John Oliver thing was kinda dumb in the first place. Just... Don't post. Don't feed reddit if you want to protest. Going to reddit and still shitposting because you're mad at reddit and want to kill their traffic... I don't think anyone really thought this through too well.
I mean, if all you are posting is John Oliver, it achieves three goals:
1- Puts the spotlight on the protest, which many users probably didn't know much about or didn't understand (cause they were out of the loop and just found reddit blacked out all of a sudden).
2- People eventually will get tired of John Oliver and/ or the same images will start getting reposted over and over again, which makes the sub uninteresting and users less likely to lurk or engage.
3-New users of the platform will come into reddit and see it filled with a bunch of crap instead of thought out content.
Since reddit is not playing fair there is no easy answer on what's the best way to protest. If they remain closed and they just put new mods in charge that will keep the sub running bussiness as usual, making the sub as unatractive as posible sounds like a better option.
I personally jumped ship and came to kbin, but I don't run a subreddit.
With a possible small bonus of this whole thing being featured on Last Week Tonight
I assume the desired goal of the John Oliver thing is getting John Oliver's attention.
This vaguely reminds me of an episode of "Better Off Ted" where profanity was mistakenly made mandatory. This will end well, and by well I mean in a hilarious manner.
The outtakes from that episode were just amazing. Ted calls Linda a "dick-infested man mattress" and I fucking died.
Well, I guess you win some, you lose some. Can't wait to see how this one plays out.
I'm now calling getting demodded "de-snooment" forever
