    This is actually hilarious and I love the creativity and malicious compliance here. It’s also a shame the admins response to this whole thing. They’re trying to claim that this whole thing is just a small group of moderates power tripping when in reality many of the subs held polls to go dark or continue protests. Before this all went down I saw a ton of people saying they should go dark indefinitely in many many subreddits.

    Huffman is full of lies and bullshit and that’s the real reason people have so much backlash at this point

      Reddit comments seem full of Huffman bootlickers now who are claiming that there was no community support for protests and that the companies actions are fair and justified. I don’t know what the facts are but every single poll on every sub I seen on the topic was decisively in favour of action.

      I can’t understand why some people are so proudly apathetic, or reactionary when there’s some sort of dissent.

        I’ve seen people coming out of the woodworks into subs they don’t even engage in just to spam comments about how no one supported the community joining the blackout. The sub voted. And granted there were only 3k votes to 1M subscribed, but given that the poll was available for a while and anyone who regularly engaged in the community would see it, I dont see how someone who is that much of an outsider should matter more.
