So, /r/memes did a poll. The exact numbers happen to be multiples of 10%, but ignore that.

  • 10% of users want the blackout to continue
  • 10% of users want the subreddit to open back up as normal
  • 80% of users want the subreddit to only allow Medieval / Landed Gentry themed memes.

Henceforth: "The title of the posts must include either of the words 'Medieval', 'Landed' or 'Gentry', and the meme must include medieval content/images, or include content that features text about Landed Gentry."

Hear ye, hear ye, the people hath spoken.

Honestly if this guy expected anything else he legitimately knows zero about the platform he's supposedly responsible for.

I wonder when Spez will threaten to replace the users?

So Reddit's going through a Renaissance of sorts?

Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?

Well done, Snoo Platform.

You just rallying the subreddits against you, investors must be so proud with this development.

Back in 2011, I lurked around 4chan for a few days before saying "never again".

During those days, there was a recurring DDOS attack that carpet-bombed /b/ with image posts from A Clockwork Orange, Malcolm McDowell with his eyes clamped open. The site got blasted with hundreds of identical image posts until the server went down.

This sounds a little similar, although more flexible, not as intense. And DDOS is not the goal.

There's so much glory in that reddit post OP is becoming a knight of the realm
