I think the title speaks for itself.
EDIT: UPDATE: So apparently the former r/jailbait mod that is The CEO purged the sub’s mods and forced the sub to re-reopen under the old rules.
Mission failed! We’ll get them next time!
EDIT2: aaaaaaand the sub’s archived and no longer accepts new submissions. The garbage fire keeps going…
I like this more than what r/piracy and r/memes did, (especially r/piracy^) as the content now being produced in those subs is still “quality” content that won’t deter users from Reddit.
What needs to be done, (assuming Reddit mods refuse to risk giving up their power) is to pollute the homepage and r/all with so much crap that people refuse to use the website.

You have given up the protest.
You are helping Reddit twofold: Continuing to provide content, (even John Oliver content is still content) and removing unwanted content. (The discussion of digital piracy)
At this point you might as well remove the megathread as well.
What is piracy and memes doing? I haven’t been back to reddit since last week (except to steal content).
r/piracy is only allowing pictures of John Oliver, and r/memes is only allowing medieval themed posts.
Haha! I gotta say, medieval themed posts is a little broad. I think there’s too much room for variety there.
I honestly just found about Lemmy and signed up because I noticed the quality of content on Reddit (especially /r/all) took a nose dive.
Even in the comments so much nonsense and hate today.
Welcome! if you’re new to the fediverse, I have a quick intro stickied in this sub. The main difference is looking for communities across different instances, not just on lemmy.world.
It’s good to see another refugee! Hope this place fills that space for you that Reddit has left empty.
It’s not GOOD content though. That’s the point.
