Please, people. Be reasonable and considerate of Reddit’s need to make money. It is, afterall, spez’s main focus.

    What’s up with people posting screenshots of text here? Are these screenshots of things random no name redditors are saying on reddit? Are these pictures of posts that are getting tons of upvotes or significant in any sort of way?

      It’s highlighting a fun new way mods are protesting without being shut down.

        If this was a way mods would actually protest, wouldn’t it make sense to say who is saying it? They removed all attribution, all indication of votes, or any example of a subreddit actually doing it. Maybe I’m jaded from my many years on reddit, but I always get suspicious when I see a post like this that it could be a fake post or something.

        With that said, if moderators actually did set their subs, like /r/aww to nsfw, that would be pretty funny.

            Now that’s something worth a post, not taking a screenshot of some random nobody posting a random bit of text

      People just don’t want to link directly to the site. I know I’m still boycotting as much as possible, I’ve only gone back to post a link to a kbin guide. Also, what is a no-name redditor? Would you take this more seriously if someone else had said it?

        Not wanting to link to reddit makes sense.

        Though I would say, I would take something more seriously if a Reddit admin or a mod from a dozen subreddits said it. That would add lot more significance to a post like this. If it was from a highly upvoted post, then it’s be more likely a form of protest that reddit mods might have seen or even decide to take seriously.

        When I don’t see any attribution I can’t help but think it’s just OP faking a post or just trying to get attention for themselves instead of just posting a text post to discuss the idea. Maybe I’m just jaded from my days on reddit though.

    Not that I’m on reddit side but what about advertising companies start moderating their ads? I mean they often literally profit from scams

    i can’t believe people here are actually falling for this being a serious post vs the “you shouldn’t be doing this because it hurts reddit wink wink nudge nudge” that it actually is.

    I could not imagine stanning a company’s ability to run ads. Like, I don’t care about ads. Worse, I am actively antagonistic towards the concept of ads. I cannot get into the headspace of this poster. What a loser.

      I think you’re missing out that the post is sarcastic and it is in fact encouraging people to swear and turn all the subreddits into NSFW subreddits that are unusable for advertising

    In 1884, meridian time personnel met

    in Washington to change Earth time.

    First words said was that only 1 day

    could be used on Earth to not change

    the 1 day marshmallow. So they applied the 1

    day and ignored the other 3 days.

    The marshmallow time was wrong then and it

    proved wrong today. This a major lie

    Whoever the hell came up with non binary was on some serious drugs. How can you be neither gender? It’s fucking stupid. The same goes for shit like they/them, you’re not multiple people. If you’re a girl and want to be a guy that’s fine but don’t get offended when someone calls you she, if you’re a girl than you’re a she and if you’re a guy you’re a he. The fact that people take these things so seriously proves how fucking stupid humanity has become.
