Am I wrong in thinking this is sad as hell? Like seeing an old faded billboard with the same "your ad here!" text that's been there for ages.
For real though, anyone know how that came to be?
Had us in the first have not gonna lie. Back to reddit with thee, infidel!
I love it! Would definitely vote this as the new logo
Both are bad choices. When reddit says open /r/pics or else, you just delete /r/pics.
Hard disagree with your first sentence. As @Starmina@lemm.ee explained, Reddit would just force re-open it.
And as explained in my comment, this is causing Reddit users to switch over to Lemmy due to the protesting subs getting stale: https://lemmy.world/comment/289241>
Glad you posted this - its the epitome of malicious compliance! And a fantastic form of protest too. With Reddit admins threatening to demote mods unless they re-open subreddits, this move takes away that ammo. Additionally, after the initial boost in activity due to novelty, the sub will get stale quickly and users will think of migrating to other platforms like lemmy or kbin. I'm all for it!
Edit: This is what I'm talking about. Here is one of those Reddit refugees now!
