A fellow mod informed me that about it as I was laying in bed. Reddit sent a message to the mod team and after 1 hour demoded me. I didn't even had time to see it, never-mind respond to it.

Looks like we rattled reddit enough to start shooting. There goes all that fancy talk about our protest not affecting them much.

Just FYI for now. It's late here so I'll see how we proceed tomorrow.

You should consider posting that screenshot around the bigger subs that are still resisting. Ask them to repost it as well. Don't go quietly, let the whole site see what lengths the admins are going to for the illusion that everything is fine.

No offense, this is a great site, but the word isn't going to get out from here.

I think partially it's a good thing that the growth slowed down. You don't want overworked mods and admins. You're not paying with your data here, that's something you should always be aware of.

can other mods reappoint you?

You should reopen privacy but a la /r/pics and only allow posts about laptop privacy screens and laptop privacy screen reviews and top 10 laptop privacy screens etc. for some malicious compliance.

Make solely about actual nautical piracy.

Should be all about VPNs. Which VPNs are good, which are bad, screenshots of which ads you've seen lately.

[-] pgetsos@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

It should be only images of Pirates. Blackbeard, Redbeard, Morgan etc

[-] GizmoLion@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I can get with that!

Question for us refugees is: do we care enough to fill up these scab Reddit subs with spam and shit, or just let it be?

I'm partial to the idea kf creating chaos, but at the end I don't think I can give a shit. It's just another corporate social network now.

I do hope tho that mods of the closed subs nuke all the content (e.g. mark as cp/spam/something) before they get fired.

[-] Helix@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

just delete your account and let it die on its own, like the Metaverse. Remember that? Yeah, like 3 people used it.

[-] bitwise@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

Reddit has been undeleting posts and comments, so that's probably not going to work.

[-] WhoRoger@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Sure but if everything is marked as cp/spam, then they'll need to be careful with undeleting. Especially if at the same time, people post exactly the kind of prohibited material.

[-] lightingnerd@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

I'm all for civil disobedience, but there's a fine line between refusing to comply and intentionally doing harm. Reopening a sub and only allowing posts of something silly? That's chill, Reopening a sub and intentionally posting illegal and disturbing content? Just ask yourself, how would an impartial jury evaluate your actions, and go from there.

[-] Avalanched@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Arr, me hearties, I be sorry to hear that ye've been demoted by the landlubber admins in the Reddit Royal Navy, aye!
