Following in the footsteps of r/pics and r/gifs, r/aww is also holding a poll to decide whether to go back to “normal” or to only feature images of John Oliver, Chiijohn, or their lookalikes being adorable.

Poll is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/14bt0c1

    This is the right kind of protest to avoid getting nuked. Make subreddits active but useless. It’s not against the rules or r/PotatoSalad and r/Trees would be banned.

      What’s chef’s kiss perfect about these is that they’re all using Spez’s words against him. There’s no doubt whose fault this is.

      I’m still genuinely shocked that he decided to call people who are offering their time to the site, for free, to moderate it landed fucking gentry. How utterly out of touch, and frankly dumb, can you possibly be? Other social media sites pay millions a year to moderate content and Reddit gets it for free, and this is how he treats them. It’s insane. The guy’s an imbecile.

      If both /r/trees and /r/marijuanaenthusiasts protest though it sort of defeats the purpose.

    Damn, I don’t have Reddit anymore so I can’t vote or even see the upvote numbers on the comments. Can anyone give me the rundown? This is hilarious

    Can’t wait to see John Oliver cover this whole reddit thing on his show by showing his favorite pics. I love it. I almost feel like going to reddit to help post the most absurd pics of him.

      I heard that /r/steam was all about actual steam now, not the gaming store. /r/scams is taking 14 days to approve new posts, gifs and pics are John Oliver only. I’m sure there are more, I’ve not looking at reddit in over a week (my main is a 17 year old account and I’ve been a daily user for most of that time), that’s that I’ve seen on here.

      iPhone, Tim Cook pics

      How do I know? By scrolling my Lemmy feed, of course. Loving it 😍

        I know, it is also mentioned on OP

        I found WellThatSucks that only posts vacuums now, and InterestingAsFuck removed ALL rules and made the sub NSFW

    Once the writer’s strike is over there is sure to be a segment.

    FYI- There is a writer’s union strike in the US which has affected many weekly shows.
