June 15th will drop by, and everyone will notice what most people here already know: that Reddit is hopeless, and it’s showing its middle finger to the community.
Based on that, I was thinking about releasing an infographic, telling people what’s going on, and asking them to replace their Reddit content with gibberish. And I’m wondering if more people want to join this.
What do you guys think about this? Would anyone here be willing to contribute?
The infographic would list no authorship. It would be, for all intents and purposes, public domain. The only thing that you’d get in return is the warm feeling that you made internet better, by helping to kill Reddit.
The format is up to debate, but I was thinking about:
It’s a picture so it’s easier to share; split into sections that can be read in any order that you want (or you can ignore a few of them).
In special, I’d like help of people who write stuff well. I’m pedantic, verbose, an L3 speaker prone to “then who was phone?” grammar, and I genuinely think that plenty people could do better than I can in this aspect.
I also believe that a collective effort from a bunch of people will be probably better than just a single person doing it alone.
Sorry, you’re right; I didn’t*.
The content itself wouldn’t be spam. Spam is less about the message, and more about force-feeding it to an unwilling receiver. So as long as this is shared reasonably, it shouldn’t be spam.
*I thought that I did, but it was in an earlier attempt to reply to your post.
Understandable. However, a major point of the blackout is not using the site to make reddit’s usage go down. What about that?
