Several subreddits have ruled that they will now post only John Oliver related content as an alternate means of protest. I think it started on /r/pics, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Their criteria was "John Oliver looking sexy," but no NSFW was stated, no. In fact, they clarified that John Oliver always looks sexy, so all pics of him were acceptable.
I just read the article on this yesterday. It was /awww, /pics, and /gifs as the first to do this (with I think pics starting it)
Very amusingly, it was first stated that “only sexy pictures of John Oliver would be allowed”, but then it was changed to, “all pictures of John Oliver are allowed, because every picture of John Oliver is sexy”
Same. The worst it got was "this is fakey mcfakerson!" (And those evaluations were usually pretty spot on).
I genuinely liked Reddit after unsubbing from almost all of the defaults. I'll miss HobbyDrama, a few others that were just really chill, and my local city sub. (But for some reason, being subbed to r/indianapolis meant that the algorithm thought you'd really enjoy r/desmoins and r/houston. Incompetence.)
Does anyone have access to the modcoord discord? We should really get those protesting subs to reopen on activitypub while they're blacked out or posting only John Oliver pictures. Dip their toes in a better pool and maybe they'll just stay here.
But posts like this you wanna vote on, not just view.
I loved BoRU. It was one of the best subs on Reddit. I definitely want to have some say in this vote. Sadly, it's the kinda sub that doesn't work that well here yet. It depended on the mainstreamness of reddit, as there's very few updates and even fewer that are that interesting.
