The protests get even more creative. PoliticalHumor mods have set it so that if you subscribe to the community you can now do moderator actions through comments.

No more "Landed Gentry" here, just a total shitshow of deleted comments and lack of cohesive moderation.

They can't ban all of us

it really is very refreshing. I am oddly comforted by seeing there's still a fighting spirit among many internet users

This is a great protest technique that I think everyone can get behind because it's fun. It might actually increase engagement in the short term as everyone wants to mess around with it, but in the long term if this stays active it hurts the subs actual usability.

@Skray @dingus @tensquiggles It's both really funny and entirely ruining the user experience - makes Reddit think the protest failed short term While making it more powerful in the long run
