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.
My grandpa did espionage for the US AF back in ww2 against the nazis while he was stationed in Europe. If he were alive to see his political affiliations become the nazi party he would have had a mental break. We need to start putting reruns of bugs bunny against the nazis on TV again. Maybe dust Harrison Ford off one more time for a geriatric final fight against the nazis lol!
The time to do it next would be right before or during the IPO. Mods and users have tipped their hand though. If anyone working at Reddit has even the tiniest bit of foresight, they should see that coming now and have a plan in place to react or preempt it.
Damn, I thought they were going out in a blaze of glory weekendgunnit style on the first glance. Self-immolating a sub instead of just returning to the new status quo is more effective than this blackout will ever be.
Honestly, I don’t care what what’s left of reddit does. I’m done with it and I’m perfectly happy here. I have plenty of ways to get news and feel like it’s better to check reputable sources instead of doomscrolling and skimming post titles. I need to use my brain more…

But whatever, keep shitting on the nazis.
Why in the world would we do anything less than shit on the Nazis?
United we stand in shitting on the Nazis.
On the Nazis we shit.
United we squat
Oh, I just put mine in a stretchy bag and used it as a sort of poop fueled slingshot kinda. Gotta say, it works great once you get the technique down.

Agreed. I’ll keep shitting on the Nazis.

Except that‘s not what they are doing. They are still going to enforce reddit tos. Bootlickers. That‘s essentially all reddit cares abou anyway.

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.
r/therewasanattempt is doing similar, on their own terms.
/r/anarchychess did it and only made it like a couple hours lol

Reddit would just take the sub for being unmoderated
