This is a brilliant way to get around spez's threats. The subreddit is open, the moderators are moderating, and any result of the poll is just the will of the community.

yes I'm so glad someone thought of this - its genius and I hope it works!
The idea that Spez et al would back down from the hypocrisy of saying "no not that way" and replacing the mods anyway is absurd.
But at least it will create some more stories about how awful the reddit admins are.
I feel so conflicted. On the one hand, going back to reddit feels dirty. On the other hand, who doesn't like some sexy John Oliver pics?
sexy John Oliver pics
Redundancy is redundant
Lemmy needs to come together as a community and supply some sexy John Oliver pics!
Great way to maliciously comply, and perhaps a great way to get John Oliver to talk about the Reddit dumpster fire on his show
Didn't he talk about reddit before?
It would actually be great if news of this poll reached him. There's no way he wouldn't pick it up (at least for a side joke on another news piece).
I don't recall any episodes explicitly about reddit. I do know that he has cited reddit posts in many segments as sources or as jokes (example).
I would also find it funny if they then linked a kbin magazine for posting actual pictures
literally this lol
I've done my part!
Guess what website is going to be featured on Last Week Tonight for some reason.
Maybe when the writer's strike is over.
malicious compliance <3
The creative ways found by the communities to tell spez to fuck off is one of the few good things that has come from this disaster
There‘s clearly only one way forward for r/pics!
Every pic of John oliver is a sexy pic.
thank you for the heads-up! I did my deed! 🤓
Now, THAT'S malicious compliance 😂
How about every sub follow the same?
Looks like r/gifs is following as well
Require all posts in r/gaming to include a John Oliver facecam?
this is the way
This gave me the motivation to log into the old reddit account to have all my content edited. That is a worthy final upvote if I ever give one. Bring on the sexy John pics!
and this is precisely why i haven't deleted my reddit account yet
I'm enjoying all of that subreddit changes and oddities that are popping up. Also pretty keen on seeing some of the random new community starting both on here and squabbles such as this one: https://squabbles.io/s/OnlyFlans
This is the first time I've logged into reddit in a week or so. It's a trap?
I guess John Oliver won. Good.
Reddit can just manipulate the vote so easily. But it's a funny statement. Wondering how it ends. Thanks for posting this here!

Saw elsewhere on the fediverse - the vote won! /r/pics is moving to the new Oliver format!
I've never sub'd to or posted in that sub, so the reason I'm shying away from voting is to avoid the appearance of "outside manipulation"
But hey, all the more power to former subbers!
This is the one form of reopening I support.
Endless content, I like it
I read that as Jamie Oliver, that was confusing for a good few minutes.
He was kinda cute when he was younger
Omg this is so beautiful. All my sexy John Oliver needs will be forever met. I hope he covers it.
Absolutely, take my vote.
Beautiful
r/apple cave in. what the fuck. In the end most mods are only there for the power. When they are threaten to be remove, they gave up. Kuddos to r/pics and r/gifs, atleast they somehow outsmart fucking spez
Sexy and informative… I like it
Almost 60K for sexy John.
Bootlicking gets negative 11K.
The message is clear.
