    Every community that wants to resist should do something similar. Closing down as protest clearly just wont do anything as they will just replace admins. Though by this point its more about burning down the house rather than there being any hope of reddit changing their ways.

    NSFW subs protesting will do nothing but help reddit. I’m sure they wish it didn’t exist at all on the site.

      They should start pivoting to content that reference’s spez’s time a the mod of /r/jailbait. Like pictures of cheese in jail cells or police vans with “/r/jailbait mod applicants” written on the side.

      I heard u/spez, the CEO, affectionately called Pigboy, moderated r/jailbait. Which upon research, is a now defunct sub that specialized in questionable images of questionable age that should have been illegal.

      I could be wrong, but that is what I heard.

        At the time anyone could be promoted to mod position without their consent. He did not ask for it, removed himself from the position as soon as he saw he had it, then not too long after you had to accept the position of mod. However, fuck u/Spez.

      lmao, it seems you would be surprised at how NSFW content creation is treated in the financial world.
