This is a brilliant way to get around spez's threats. The subreddit is open, the moderators are moderating, and any result of the poll is just the will of the community.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

yes I'm so glad someone thought of this - its genius and I hope it works!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

The idea that Spez et al would back down from the hypocrisy of saying "no not that way" and replacing the mods anyway is absurd.

But at least it will create some more stories about how awful the reddit admins are.

Double brilliant, a double digit million sub doing this? With some drama context? Bet it gets on Oliver's show at least a mention.

I feel so conflicted. On the one hand, going back to reddit feels dirty. On the other hand, who doesn't like some sexy John Oliver pics?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Lemmy needs to come together as a community and supply some sexy John Oliver pics!

sexy John Oliver pics

Redundancy is redundant

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Great way to maliciously comply, and perhaps a great way to get John Oliver to talk about the Reddit dumpster fire on his show

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Didn't he talk about reddit before?

It would actually be great if news of this poll reached him. There's no way he wouldn't pick it up (at least for a side joke on another news piece).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I don't recall any episodes explicitly about reddit. I do know that he has cited reddit posts in many segments as sources or as jokes (example).

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

I've done my part!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would also find it funny if they then linked a kbin magazine for posting actual pictures

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

literally this lol

[–] HobbitFoot 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Guess what website is going to be featured on Last Week Tonight for some reason.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Maybe when the writer's strike is over.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

malicious compliance <3

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

The creative ways found by the communities to tell spez to fuck off is one of the few good things that has come from this disaster

There‘s clearly only one way forward for r/pics!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Every pic of John oliver is a sexy pic.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

thank you for the heads-up! I did my deed! 🤓

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Now, THAT'S malicious compliance 😂

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

and this is precisely why i haven't deleted my reddit account yet

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

How about every sub follow the same?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Looks like r/gifs is following as well

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Require all posts in r/gaming to include a John Oliver facecam?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

this is the way

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

This gave me the motivation to log into the old reddit account to have all my content edited. That is a worthy final upvote if I ever give one. Bring on the sexy John pics!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I'm enjoying all of that subreddit changes and oddities that are popping up. Also pretty keen on seeing some of the random new community starting both on here and squabbles such as this one: https://squabbles.io/s/OnlyFlans

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I guess John Oliver won. Good.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

This is the first time I've logged into reddit in a week or so. It's a trap?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Reddit can just manipulate the vote so easily. But it's a funny statement. Wondering how it ends. Thanks for posting this here!

I've never sub'd to or posted in that sub, so the reason I'm shying away from voting is to avoid the appearance of "outside manipulation"

But hey, all the more power to former subbers!

I read that as Jamie Oliver, that was confusing for a good few minutes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

He was kinda cute when he was younger

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Endless content, I like it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Absolutely, take my vote.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Saw elsewhere on the fediverse - the vote won! /r/pics is moving to the new Oliver format!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This is the one form of reopening I support.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Omg this is so beautiful. All my sexy John Oliver needs will be forever met. I hope he covers it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

r/apple cave in. what the fuck. In the end most mods are only there for the power. When they are threaten to be remove, they gave up. Kuddos to r/pics and r/gifs, atleast they somehow outsmart fucking spez

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Sexy and informative… I like it
