“All posts must be images of John Oliver looking sexy.”
As I write this, the top post in the “hot” tab on r/pics is a picture of Oliver flipping the double bird next to an image of Huffman. On r/gifs, it’s a GIF of Oliver hitting a table and saying “go fuck yourself” next to an image of the Reddit logo.
As I write this, John Oliver’s Twitter is posting a bunch of pics of himself telling /r/pics to “have at it”

Nitter link, for those who would rather avoid Twitter:
Hmm. Probably could benefit from a bot to auto-post those in response to Twitter links. Human time being valuable and all that.
Steve Huffman, the Reddit CEO, told NBC News in an interview that a user protest on the site this week is led by a minority of moderators and doesn’t have wide support.
ok
r/pics: return to normal, -2,329 votes; “only allow images of John Oliver looking sexy,” 37,331 votes.
r/gifs: return to normal, -1,851 votes; only feature GIFs of John Oliver, 13,696 votes.
Having trouble reconciling why these polls are always overwhelmingly in favor of continuing protests when users are apparently opposed to them. Craziest thing.
This is a great idea. Not only does it maliciously comply with what Reddit said but it also has the chance of getting a mention on LastWeekTonight when they come back.
Sometimes I feel like the internet is a huge mistake, but then I see stuff like this and am just all, “bravo, you crazy assholes,” in the proudest, most pleased, way possible.
The article mentions r/pics and r/gifs. For what I know r/art is also doing this.
R/steam was forced to reopen and is only posting about literal steam, as in the stuff from boiling water. It’s fantastic.
That’s amazing :D
r/wow is having a vote right now, one of the options is filling the subs with pictures and memes about Denathrius, a villain NPC of the past expansion, I hope that option wins.
All subs forced to reopen should do something like that.
Kinda bummed r/onlyfans can’t join. We were already about fans. I don’t wanna see what r/CemeteryPorn cooks up, but I suppose spez might. We can get some photoshopped pics of the crypt keeper in there
