Please, people. Be reasonable and considerate of Redditβs need to make money. It is, afterall, spezβs main focus.
Itβs highlighting a fun new way mods are protesting without being shut down.
If this was a way mods would actually protest, wouldnβt it make sense to say who is saying it? They removed all attribution, all indication of votes, or any example of a subreddit actually doing it. Maybe Iβm jaded from my many years on reddit, but I always get suspicious when I see a post like this that it could be a fake post or something.
With that said, if moderators actually did set their subs, like /r/aww to nsfw, that would be pretty funny.
Have you taken a look at /r/interestingasfuck lately? Only site wide rules now lol.
