I tapped on the link before realizing I've actually deleted my account on Friday π€£
Wish you luck, John! I'm sure you got what it takes π

John Oliver is taking over Reddit
I welcome our new John Overlord.
Looks like he's the internet's new boyfriend. Keanu must be devastated.
This is the right kind of protest to avoid getting nuked. Make subreddits active but useless. It's not against the rules or r/PotatoSalad and r/Trees would be banned.
What's chef's kiss perfect about these is that they're all using Spez's words against him. There's no doubt whose fault this is.
I'm still genuinely shocked that he decided to call people who are offering their time to the site, for free, to moderate it landed fucking gentry. How utterly out of touch, and frankly dumb, can you possibly be? Other social media sites pay millions a year to moderate content and Reddit gets it for free, and this is how he treats them. It's insane. The guy's an imbecile.
If both /r/trees and /r/marijuanaenthusiasts protest though it sort of defeats the purpose.
I hope r/WorldNews starts posting exclusively Onion articles. And r/Anime_Titties.. well...
Except if r/worldnews posted Onion articles, all they'll be doing is predicting the future.
r/nottheonion is leaking again!
noted, done my part by voting. lol
Damn, I don't have Reddit anymore so I can't vote or even see the upvote numbers on the comments. Can anyone give me the rundown? This is hilarious
Upvote numbers are hidden unfortunately
If it's anything like /r/pics, it would be safe to assume those in favour of John will win by a long shot
Can't wait to see John Oliver cover this whole reddit thing on his show by showing his favorite pics. I love it. I almost feel like going to reddit to help post the most absurd pics of him.
He already posted his favorite pics on twitter: https://twitter.com/iamjohnoliver/status/1670179738348933120
Amazing. Thanks
Did my part.
r/pics already did that
Yes, that's what "following in the footsteps of r/pics" means.
With what kind of pics, may I ask?
I'm not lazy, just wanna avoid increasing their counter ππ»
Sexy pics of John Oliver
Any other subs voting on similar manner?
r/art also held a poll. It's over now and John Oliver won.
iPhone, Tim Cook pics
How do I know? By scrolling my Lemmy feed, of course. Loving it π
I heard that /r/steam was all about actual steam now, not the gaming store. /r/scams is taking 14 days to approve new posts, gifs and pics are John Oliver only. I'm sure there are more, I've not looking at reddit in over a week (my main is a 17 year old account and I've been a daily user for most of that time), that's that I've seen on here.
r/pics did it yesterday
I know, it is also mentioned on OP
I found WellThatSucks that only posts vacuums now, and InterestingAsFuck removed ALL rules and made the sub NSFW
