    I like this kind of protest. Using their own rules against them. But, you know admins are going to do something. r/PICS are keeping up the good work where others have folded and I salute them from the fediverse.

    We understand that you are likely very busy, so we will wait until Friday, July 7th before taking any additional steps.

    Dear Admins,

    these are our balls. Please direct your attention at how enormous they are.

    Edit: I wonder what will happen next. Maybe only screenshots of the open letter are allowed.

    Greatest mods on Reddit.

    Btw the 2 or 3 subs I subscribed to that didn’t do jack shit to protest can suck it. Looking at you, polandball.

    I’m fully behind the moderators and read their well crafted response, but the admins are going to nitpick the definition of “sudden” and kick out all the mods. /r/pics was one of their highest ad revenue boards and they can’t let that happen.

      Honestly, what’s stopping mods from just enshittfying the sub. Like, make it text posts only. Remove all images and see how it impacts the traffic.

        They closer they walk the line, the longer they can drag this out before they’re replaced. That means more subscribers move on to other active communities.

    the meantime, to ensure that /r/PICS is adhering to all of Reddit’s guidelines and requests, we would be happy to revert the NSFW setting, restrict posting, and remove any and all content that could be considered “offensive” by anyone.

    They’re gonna nuke the sub next and I’m loving it

      They’ve gone too far to turn back now!

      Lmao, next post is the official “We’re moving to Kbin” post.

        This is just incorrect.

        What you are describing is a boycott. And it’s probably true that that’s the most powerful thing a normal user can do against reddit.

        But mods can do much more by messing with their sub. In terms of headache caused.

        They’re driving away the holdouts by making the content useless. I think that’s better than just leaving, burn it down on your way out.

    Wonderful, I hope they burn the sub to the ground before reddit makes any more ad revenue off it.

      ngl, I hope they figure out more malicious compliance to make the Reddit management looks like fools before nuking it from orbit.

        “[T]o make the Reddit management looks like fools…”

        Reddit management has already taken care of this.
