about 50% content is like this, no matter what view you select. I think /r/pics has the right idea; it is so dominating. Other subs should change their post to be like this (with their own messages) I think.
Also, what sub did spez mod in 2008?
I just wish they’d link to lemmy! It’s almost pointless to just shut down for a few days and not make people use competitors.
As a mod I’ve been considering this, but with the amount of moderators and communities that have been banned for attempting to steer their users to alternatives, it’s simply not worth the risk. For now, I’ve just linked visitors to our Discord server instead, and people should be able to find the Lemmy and Raddle alternatives there if they wish to.
This is actually illegal, if they ban you for that they’re violating the GDPR, so i’d say let them.
Wait, how is the GDPR applicable here? I thought the GDPR was just about data protection…
My bad, messed that up, edited my comment
Exactly. Shutting down for 2 days just says we’ll be back in 2 days. Shutting down and saying we’re going to Lemmy with a link to a specific community shows reddit we are serious about this.
I think the link to a replicated (specific) community is the key.
100% I created a community here to replace on Reddit and made a post about it. That sub did not shut down, but it’s education in nature and I understand not shutting down as people may be depending on it for school.
I told the mods, hey you can have this if you intend to run it. I’ll check my messages a bit later.
I’ve been spamming https://join-lemmy.org everywhere I could just before the shutdown. /r/gonewild banned me for posting the link LOL
Some of them are. I visited a couple subs that went dark yesterday, and they had popup messages with fediverse lnks.
On r/all in Slide, I have 3 black “killing apps” pics followed by 3 other protest posts, and then it’s just normal. I respect that not everyone wishes to join the protest, but it would have been more fun if protest posts went on for at least a couple pages.

asking the real questions
For us who don’t know. What sub did he mod?
Jailbait
No way lmao
I’m surprised but at the same time not surprised at all, he has that slimy vibe
Thanks for the image.
They might be getting DDOS. Website is messed up and won’t even load for me now. LOL.
me too “you broke reddit”
everybody who ever had an account refreshing to see what will happen lol
Also I will add that the posts which do not directly related to the blackout are all 6-12 hours old.
Excellent!
My eyes are screaming just looking at the new.reddit UI.
Sometimes it’s good to be reminded what an abomination it actually is.
