Looks like the landed gentry gave the proletariate the memes of production.

I'll see myself out...

Spez later revealed an exciting new idea for a system where users will be able to vote moderators out of their positions and install new ones. This type of pure democracy on a site like reddit is bound to be wildly successful and incorruptible. But, there's only one problem: At the pace it takes reddit to develop new mod tools and systems, it'll be years before such a system is ready. That clearly will not do in a society built on instant gratification.

That is why the r/PoliticalHumor mod team would like to announce that starting today we are bringing pure democracy to the subreddit: All users are now mods, and as such, are part of the "Landed Gentry". Welcome to the club.

That's brilliant!! 1 million and 500 thousands users, hilarious.

@dingus this is my favorite protest so far and I love how creative subreddit mods are getting - one last salting of the earth before they quit the site for good!

I think spez forgot that Redditors will burn it down just for the show.

Not exactly what happened they made a bot that will take a limited set of commands but you not actually a mod. It's more of a joke (obviously). All you can really do is lock and unlock and remove comments for people under a certain score

I am itching so much for the perfect episode of John Oliver's Last Week Tonight commemorating the most absurd but effective protest in histor, sounding off the whole mess of a situation and poking some more at spez. It'll be a feast.

Oh my god. How can they even do that. I stand in awe, this is flawless. Please god, let the news get hold of this one.

In 2006 I was named Time's Person of the Year. Today I was selected to moderate my first subreddit.

Outstanding move. If more subreddits did this it would very quickly overload Reddits servers with API requests.

This is the most hilarious one!

Giga democracy

The inmates are running the asylum.

Never fight with community ... internet has no border and your website is one of infinity

Also Reddit IPO will be nuked pretty hard

By the way, we now have Political Humor here on kbin:

If you find it of interest, consider subscribing.

This is honestly my favorite. All the concern trolls saying there are millions of people who would love to be mods now have the opportunity.

@dingus LMAO THIS IS AWESOME #reddit

Man, these are the funniest days of my life. Everyday is a complete shit show in the dump fire.

It just gets better and better. Mods are getting creative now, this is great.

"ohshitnowwhat" - admins, probably

I suppose we should brace ourselves for the introduction of SuperMods or w'ev.

This is amazing

Hahaha, every post is either full of deleted comments or just locked, this is by far the most original one so far.

I just love how all the communities get to stick it to spez

Haha genius!!!

I already want all of the other subs to do the same. CHAOS!

That is pretty genius.
