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!

      Ah yes, so reddits bots can shut down the protest by claiming “users” are downvoting the protest…

      reddit totally doens’t have a bot problem, you know? and reddit admins would never use fake accounts! /s
