Following in the footsteps of r/pics and r/gifs, r/aww is also holding a poll to decide whether to go back to “normal” or to only feature images of John Oliver, Chiijohn, or their lookalikes being adorable.
Poll is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/14bt0c1
John Oliver is taking over Reddit
Looks like he’s the internet’s new boyfriend. Keanu must be devastated.
It’s an old meme, but it checks out
I welcome our new John Overlord.
Opened Reddit for the first time in days just so I could vote 👌
I tapped on the link before realizing I’ve actually deleted my account on Friday 🤣
Wish you luck, John! I’m sure you got what it takes 😄
Remember to use adblock if you can. ^^
Who needs Adblock when you can use a third party app they’re trying to kill?
Who needs third party apps when you can use ReVanced to rebuild the official app without ads 🤫
noted, done my part by voting. lol
Damn, I don’t have Reddit anymore so I can’t vote or even see the upvote numbers on the comments. Can anyone give me the rundown? This is hilarious
If it’s anything like /r/pics, it would be safe to assume those in favour of John will win by a long shot
Upvote numbers are hidden unfortunately
Not anymore, it’s 53k/-1.3k ish
Like 50k vs -1k in favor of John Oliver.
This is the right kind of protest to avoid getting nuked. Make subreddits active but useless. It’s not against the rules or r/PotatoSalad and r/Trees would be banned.
What’s chef’s kiss perfect about these is that they’re all using Spez’s words against him. There’s no doubt whose fault this is.
I’m still genuinely shocked that he decided to call people who are offering their time to the site, for free, to moderate it landed fucking gentry. How utterly out of touch, and frankly dumb, can you possibly be? Other social media sites pay millions a year to moderate content and Reddit gets it for free, and this is how he treats them. It’s insane. The guy’s an imbecile.
If both /r/trees and /r/marijuanaenthusiasts protest though it sort of defeats the purpose.
I hope r/WorldNews starts posting exclusively Onion articles. And r/Anime_Titties… well…
Except if r/worldnews posted Onion articles, all they’ll be doing is predicting the future.
r/nottheonion is leaking again!
Can’t wait to see John Oliver cover this whole reddit thing on his show by showing his favorite pics. I love it. I almost feel like going to reddit to help post the most absurd pics of him.
He already posted his favorite pics on twitter: https://twitter.com/iamjohnoliver/status/1670179738348933120

Amazing. Thanks
Also voted for John Oliver. Used Apollo.
Hibernate in me you bespectacled vaguely ursine athromorphic dreamboat.
r/pics already did that
With what kind of pics, may I ask?
I’m not lazy, just wanna avoid increasing their counter 👍🏻
Sexy pics of John Oliver
Any other subs voting on similar manner?
r/art also held a poll. It’s over now and John Oliver won.
I heard that /r/steam was all about actual steam now, not the gaming store. /r/scams is taking 14 days to approve new posts, gifs and pics are John Oliver only. I’m sure there are more, I’ve not looking at reddit in over a week (my main is a 17 year old account and I’ve been a daily user for most of that time), that’s that I’ve seen on here.
iPhone, Tim Cook pics
How do I know? By scrolling my Lemmy feed, of course. Loving it 😍
r/pics did it yesterday
I know, it is also mentioned on OP
I found WellThatSucks that only posts vacuums now, and InterestingAsFuck removed ALL rules and made the sub NSFW
Once the writer’s strike is over there is sure to be a segment.
FYI- There is a writer’s union strike in the US which has affected many weekly shows.
it’s affected every show that was in production at the time, weekly or otherwise.
