now you can tell Reddit to get fucked, democratically
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.
yes I'm so glad someone thought of this - its genius and I hope it works!
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.
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?
Lemmy needs to come together as a community and supply some sexy John Oliver pics!
sexy John Oliver pics
Redundancy is redundant
Great way to maliciously comply, and perhaps a great way to get John Oliver to talk about the Reddit dumpster fire on his show
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).
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).
I would also find it funny if they then linked a kbin magazine for posting actual pictures
literally this lol
I've done my part!
Guess what website is going to be featured on Last Week Tonight for some reason.
Maybe when the writer's strike is over.
malicious compliance <3
Every pic of John oliver is a sexy pic.
thank you for the heads-up! I did my deed! 🤓
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!
Now, THAT'S malicious compliance 😂
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
How about every sub follow the same?
Looks like r/gifs is following as well
Require all posts in r/gaming to include a John Oliver facecam?
this is the way
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!
I guess John Oliver won. Good.
Reddit can just manipulate the vote so easily. But it's a funny statement. Wondering how it ends. Thanks for posting this here!
Spoiler: John Oliver won.
Just saw it. Amazing!
and this is precisely why i haven't deleted my reddit account yet
Endless content, I like it
Absolutely, take my vote.
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!
Saw elsewhere on the fediverse - the vote won! /r/pics is moving to the new Oliver format!
Omg this is so beautiful. All my sexy John Oliver needs will be forever met. I hope he covers it.
Almost 60K for sexy John.
Bootlicking gets negative 11K.
The message is clear.
I read that as Jamie Oliver, that was confusing for a good few minutes.
He was kinda cute when he was younger
This is the one form of reopening I support.
r/apple cave in. what the fuck. In the end most mods are only their for the power. When they are threaten to be remove, they gave up. Kuddos to r/pics anf r/gifs, atleast they somehow outsmart fucking spez
Sexy and informative… I like it
Beautiful
Sorting by top normal is listed first. Don't know if it works with votes hidden tho
I mean if he really wants to he'll just edit the number of votes like the cock goblin he's proven himself to be
It's a special mode called contest mode. Your sorting preference means nothing, the comment order is randomized every time you refresh. Here is a larger thread in contest mode so you can refresh a few times and see the randomization more clearly.
I sorted by top in Apollo a few times and it seems random
Strange, for me it listed John Oliver first. I wonder if things are neck and neck
The thread is in contest mode, so the comments are loaded randomly upon opening the thread. Only the moderators know what the scores are, the sort has no meaning for us for now.
I have a feeling this may backfire. I really want to join this subreddit. Is there a Fediverse version?
Could end up on Last Week Tonight, which would be interesting.
