Wow, absolutely nobody in here gets what they’re doing and just wants to shit on “conservatives”. What they’re doing is what the other mods should also be doing - mod strike! Take down the barriers and let Reddit get overrun with bots, spam, and low-effort posts. If every sub did that instead of the weak-ass “dark for two days guise!” Reddit management would fold immediately.

With this two-days-dark plan, management thinks (correctly?) that they can just wait it out and they win. And they’re probably right. No competent strike ever gives a deadline and expects it to work, that’s absurd. The smarter subs have at least said “at least two days, then we’ll reassess” - that’s the better approach, keep it open-ended.

But the best approach is what /r/conservative seems to be doing, which is just put down their tools and walk the fuck away. Reddit management would have literally no response to that approach if it was the approach taken site-wide.

But whatever, keep shitting on the nazis.

Lmao homie really said “whatever, keep shitting on the nazis” like it was some kind of gotcha.

We will, and we don’t need your permission.

The enshittification of reddit.

Everything about that post screams brainrot. It's so incredibly well woven that it might as well be unintentional art.

Wow, and I thought all the subs leaving + shutting down was bad enough. Now, advertisers are going to see this remaining subreddit flooded with racist and bigoted memes no doubt.

An appropriate legacy for the subreddit. Very "on brand." 🤣

$10 says the "special surprise" is a shout out/recruitment post from something like "truth social" (or wherever they hangout nowadays) to go takeover what's left of Reddit.

time to see this advanced conservative humor I keep hearing about.

The special surprise is they got one of Trump's turds and they're all gonna split it

"Instead of the blackout, we're going to make posting easier! We're definitely helping!"

Sweet Jesus, that's some brain-dead logic.

Oh god, I shouldn't have looked. Their idea of free speech is posting obvious propaganda and shitting on minorities. Classic

Does this mean everyone who's been banned from r/Conservative can post freely today?
