Excellent work
- Some of the biggest communities like r/pics, r/aww, and r/GIF decided to post John Oliver pictures and GIFs. In a tweet, Oliver approved this move.
- In the case of r/aww, the community is also allowed to post pictures of Chiijohn.
- r/iPhone decided to post pictures celebrating “dashing” Tim Cook.
- r/Shitposting banned posts with the letter k.
- r/Wellthatsucks is now a subreddit about vacuum cleaners.
- r/Nofans is now a passive PC cooler subreddit.
- r/Interestingasfuck removed a lot of all rules apart from asking members to not break site-wide rules.
- r/Memes is allowing only Medieval / Landed Gentry memes. This is in response to Huffman’s “Landed Gentry” comment about protesting subreddits.
- r/PokemonGo is now allowing pictures of John Oliver, Pikachu, or Spark.
- r/Horny is now a “Christian Minecraft server.”
- r/Steam members are posting about actual steam.
- r/HarryPotter is now referring to Huffman as Voldemort.
- Some subreddits such as r/Showerthoughts are determining close days for the community.
Glorious.
It really reminds me the time when r/Grimdank literally spammed posts about Battletech.

r/Nofans is now a passive PC cooler subreddit.
That should be a nice complement to r/onlyfans, which has previously refocused to pictures of fans (though it’s still private)
…I’m afraid to ask what “nofans” used to be. I hadn’t heard of it before.
Don’t be afraid. Nofans - short for - No onlyfans - meaning content of normal women not out to make money (there was a version for couples too)
Maybe someone should bring it back here somewhere.Let’s be real if you want to gain popularity for your R****t alternative you just need porn and such (if you seperate the paid kind from the free link stuff you are golden and will grow fast sadly my knowledge on how to create such a place are limited in the programming department.
r/Interestingasfuck removed a lot of all rules apart from asking members to not break site-wide rules.
This is rebellion? I don’t get it. This all sounds like good news for mister president. Just gives more reason for people to use reddit.
The company even sent messages to moderators saying that they will be removed if they all continue to particulate in the blackout.
that typo, LOL.
LOL This is awesome!
This stuff is funny, but that’s the problem, Redditors love funny events like The Snap, and they love drama and controversy
You can see it’s not hurting Reddit at all maybe even helping them

The real solution is to share links to Lemmy communities as replacements and just leave Reddit, turn off whatever auto moderation tools they have and just let the place burn, or maybe even worse be overly strict on moderation lol
@itmightbethew These are all great but /r/interestingasfuck seems to have hit on something that could have a real impact: Reddit apparently can’t sell advertising on NSFW subs. Imagine if /r/pics and /r/aww and other tip subs just opened themselves up to whatever, it would down Reddit in porn and destroy the site’s reputation. I’m sure the admins would try to force them back to SFW, but it could be a powerful tactic.
What are the admins going to do? Moderate? If the moderators are approving NSFW posts, the sub is NSFW… Heck I’m not sure if they have to go that far. On r/cigars every single post is NSFW because cigars are Satan. Just do that to all the subs so every single post requires you to click to reveal the NSFW content. It’ll be like NSFW roulette. Heads, it’s a helpful guide to setting up a service on the cloud. Tails, it’s goatse.
"r/Horny is now a “Christian Minecraft server.”
That shit is genius. Not a fan of all this mess. But it has led to new and cool places while creating some funny as hell content with the fallout.
A Red Bull Formula 1 team themed Minecraft server?
(Christian Horner is the team principal for Red Bull Racing. And is also married to Geri “Ginger Spice” Halliwell).
