Users are already planning protest art. I personally wouldn’t encourage people to join because it’s more traffic for Reddit, but that’s just me.

On other news, apparently requesting a subreddit now requires a 28d old account with 100+ karma.

EDIT: it's on again, since 20min ago:


The only two recognisable things are the “fuck spez” and nationalists spamming some government flag.

EDIT 2: better view:


I think that the meaning of the sentence in German up there should be rather obvious. It’s on-topic.

There is a discord group called The Swarm that plans on doing that with 1,000 people. They also allied themselves with another group to put a protest message in the middle of it.

I’m torn about r/place revival. I’m excited to see how people embarrass reddit management, but it feels like management is allowing it cause they know it will drive up daily active users they can brag about before the stock goes public.

Probably the best protest, because it’s something moderators CAN’T fix
