Reddit does greedy API change

A ton of subreddits decide to do protests

r/196 moderator's do poll to determine the length of their protest

Only 2 options are "2 days" and Forever

Poll gets flooded by bigots wanting to shut the sub down forever

Mods look at poll and decide to kill the sub

They make off-site migration post which split's the sub into several smaller community's

There are ~600 comments on the post begging the mods this is a horrible idea and not to kill the sub

Mod "addresses" the controversy without actually addressing or responding to it

Comments are auto-removed so nobody can respond to them

mfw destroying the most successful non-bigoted meme sub does more harm to gay people then reddit

Thanks for the pride month gift, 196 mods!

Dude, Spez has said he doesn't care about reddit users. He's said that he's gonna wait it out. He does. Not. Care. And shutting down 196 over there is a show of "fuck this shit". I'm sorry you miss your shitposting subreddit but this is about blind users no longer being able to use the mobile app. Mods are going to lose the tools they need to KEEP subs like 196 free of bigots and assholes. So breaking the strike does nothing but show Spez you care more about being able to post your pics than about making the place safe and accessible. Get some perspective here.

@MxEli @tsd6502 this. Reddit is in full enshittification mode now.
Wiped a decade of posts, not going to stick around while reddit turns into parlor.
