Rule 1: All Posts Must Be About Vacuum Cleaners
Rule 2: All Comments Must Be “Wellthatsucks”

Really funny and impossible to block

    While this is funny, it drives traffic to the site so it’s the equivalent of people buying Nike shoes to then burn as protest. The company is still making money and they’re getting free advertising.

    A better protest would be to delete Reddit accounts, uninstall the apps, and see how long you can go without hearing or thinking about reddit.

      This. If they insist on doing it make it so all of the posts have to be the same. It would be boring and pwolw would stop visiting… The sub is open but there is no reason for people to visit it. It makes it easier to ween people off of reddit too

    Why do you want to advertise for Reddit protest on Lemmy ? I mean I understand if you want to protest because you want Reddit to stay as it is, but then why go on Lemmy to do that ? If you want to come to Lemmy that’s great, but with this kind of post it more looks like you are staying hère just waiting for Reddit to be black. No offense here, you do whatever you want, but I’m juste wondering why you would do this ?

    I hope more subs do stuff like this, the Steam sub is trying to be about literal steam but the mods don’t seem to be officially endorsing it yet (users are running with it though)

    If Reddit is serious about communities moderating themselves they shouldn’t have a problem with subs becoming useless if that’s what the communities decide they want. I feel like it’s going to provide Reddit another way to show that they are liars though.

        Too useful, unfortunately.

        r/trains should probably become NSFW, considering how that’s IPO-unfriendly.

        (Contemplating which kind of thing I mean by NSFW trains is left as an exercise for the reader.)
