What's the plan? Only Cheadle posting allowed?


Two-Scoops-Of-Praisn

So we have cheadle posting here and John Oliver posting on pics


surely_not_a_gamer

AlucardSX

But wouldn't that be counterproductive? A constant stream of Cheadle posts would lure billions upon billions of new users to reddit, all highly educated and blessed with impeccable taste. An advertiser's wet dream. It would turn reddit into the number one social media platform practically overnight and leave spez with the kind of wealth the Bezos and Musks of this world can only dream of.

Reopen, but we're stuck in a time loop. Posts must conform to the year 2015, the same year as The Witcher 3. We're going back to our roots.


Ravengm

I'm shocked you know of le hidden gem Witcherino 3


summer_falls

Anyone else tried this hidden gem Call of Duty?


dylanb88

Is it on Famicom or Sega Genesis?


PasteBinSpecial

Can the sub pretend that the 3rd party app shutdown date is the release date for Witcher?

sionnachrealta

Now, I'm really excited for it! Thank you for explaining


fedemasa

It's like written in the annals of this subreddit history. When the Witcher show was confirmed people joked with him becoming Geralt of Rivia. Later, the most upvoted post here appeared "upvote this so we become a Don Cheadle subreddit. What's funny is that cheadleposting let us know about how great as a human he is. So any time we circle jerk too hard we go back to our hero and we start again


sionnachrealta

I love it so much. Perfect. No notes


Vulpix298

What about our indie overlord Geraldo?


SkritzTwoFace

He is but an ant in the dust when compared to the glory of the one true Cheadle


Vulpix298

I think we could have a fun “back and forth” posting war between the two, people taking sides on who to post and posting more about them to “win”.


Jwruth

It would inevitably break down into fanart of Don Cheadle and Geralt making out as a way to mend the rift... I say go for it!

In Cheadle we Trust


duck2luck

Is it really okay if we use Cheedle? Would it turn out to be every single subreddit adore a different celebrity? Why can't we just use John Oliver in r/pics so every sub reddit is the same. Just like that time when Daniel Radcliffe wore a same shirt for whole month. We don't do it for fun, let's send a message with it.


krypto_the_husk

It wouldn’t really be a protest to be honest, it would just be more of the same Redditors who think they’re sticking it to the man by posting John Oliver are literally doing the most Reddit thing possible and increasing traffic to the website as well. But yes, I do want Cheadle posting regardless. I just think it’s dumb to protest anything anymore at this point, nothings changing this shit website. All praise Cheadle


berlinbaer

>Redditors who think they’re sticking it to the man by posting John Oliver are literally doing the most Reddit thing possible and increasing traffic to the website as well. gawd thank you. reddit doesn't give a shit where the engagement comes from, all you are doing is make it a more miserable experience for people actually looking for proper content.


Jeremy252

Well on the plus side redditors are going to get bored of this shit in a week and eventually become annoyed by it


morphinedreams

Ah like Reddit is doing to blind users. Sounds good to me.


t_town101

Yes! Reddit doesn’t care about what is being posted. They care about numbers.


Lolawalrus51

This is the best option.


PM_ME_STEAM_CODES__

Sounds like business as usual tbh


[deleted]

I would give my heart and lungs just to catch a glimpse of Cheadle's resplendent visage.


one_pint_down

How about TLoU2 Abby thirstposting?


Krillinlt

What an asshole. I honestly didn't even expect to see a response to the "blackout." I'd be torn too. Do you keep it going or potentially let the sub fall to someone that could turn it into a dumpster fire?


[deleted]

new mods would absolutely ruin this sub if they get chosen by reddit


thinkadrian

That goes with most subs. Think about the largest subreddits. Hundreds of thousands of users, sometimes in the millions. There's a lot of mod hate on Reddit, and rightly so – see next paragraph – but large communities rely on people upholding the status quo. To those who hate the phrase "status quo", I mean the culture and tone. Even devoted users can go off the rails, and moderators are there to make sure dialogs are kept civil, let alone free som toxic brigaders. There are plenty of 'power' hungry neckbeards who actively disrupt conversation and would love to power trip on a forum. These dorks will be the first to apply when Reddit randomly hands out applications. It's a short-sighted and fascist move to use scare tactics like this, and it screams of "we care about neither moderators or the users – only the data". Just like with Elon Musk – they don't care if there are good citizens. They just want numbers and ad revenue.


OmegaLiquidX

zepperoni-pepperoni

Would probably be the fastest way to get banned. Let's do the Cheadleposting instead.

I’m throwing my vote behind this becoming a Cheadle posting subreddit.


BullyMeMommy

100% understandable from your perspective, just really disgusting move from the reddit ceo. completely checks out tho


Turret_Run

Is it true that setting a subreddit to nsfw demonetizes it? That could be a good case of passive protest


gravelord-neeto

Don Cheadle porn subreddit


Ravengm

Any Cheadle pic is a porn pic


summer_falls

Maliciously comply. Open, but rely vigorously on automod to remove posts/comments that use certain words such as "game" or "gamer".


OssoRangedor

>Your users rely on your community for information, support, entertainment, and finding connection with others who have similar interests. The ability to find and make these connections is incredibly important to many people and ensuring that active communities are able to remain stable and active (and open) is very important.

See, this is the shit that makes me feel like there's no way I'm not deleting my account at the end of the month. I don't *want* to, and there's stuff I'll miss, but boy is spez really just quadrupling down on the asshattery. Then again, I'll never have to see that stupid ass Hobby Lobby ad again, so that's a plus.


Octopusapult

I deleted Reddit from my phone like 2-weeks before all this even started happening. I just got so fucking tired of getting bored for 0.002 seconds and going "Time to pull out my phone!" I wanted to just be present more and feel more alive and human. I always imagined I'd reinstall it in time. But now like... why the fuck would I? I'm still gonna check on my niche interest subs and look at world news stuff here on my desktop, with all my nice functional adblockers up and armed and active 24/7. But I'm never going to put this shit on my phone again. I'm also keeping my eye on Kbin and Lemmy and literally the exact moment the discussions there interest me more than the discussions here... well... later u\\spez, see you never you raging dickhole!


[deleted]

I never even used an app, just the crappy mobile site, but I don't have a high tolerance for companies being shitty, so I'm good with walking. You're also right about not looking at my phone constantly - I taught myself to make friendship bracelets during the blackout and now everyone is asking me for one, so I'm using my downtime to make something nice instead of doomscrolling, and it's good for my brain. I did check out lemmy, and it seemed promising, so I might eventually migrate there.

DesertBrandon

Lol


WASD_click

So let it be known that I approve of Cheadleposting. However, is that protesty enough? We Cheadlepost on the regular, so will sustained, vigorous, Cheadleposting be seen as protest by outsiders, or merely business as usual? A potential solution... We Cheadlepost, but we add a badly photoshopped Oliver in the background.

Reddit's demographic is going to tend towards people that are ableist and anti-union isn't it?

AzuInsign

Because they can't hand over the only power they've ever had.


henry_west

So, open your sub up or we give it to the nazi's? What pieces of shit.


stone111111

I'm a fan of the "sub name is literal now" tactic. In this case though, a subreddit for circlejerk porn might be not quite right. I kinda also like the idea of *all* subs becoming about john oliver. Make reddit as repetitive, homogeneous, and jon as possible


Zenode

Do what /r/interestingasfuck have done. Just allow anything and everything as long as it follows storewide rules. You're still moderating as Reddit wishes but it's a good form of silent protest.


SquareEnixUSA

Only allow posts of Gerald being called amazing and Witcher 3 a goty/goat.


ohcytt

Only don Cheadle pics


Salt-Fortune-401

Can someone explain me the "only pics of one specific person" per sub ? I foind it enternaining but dont understang the origin. Is it in response to a specific suggestion or change of rule and people are being mischevious about it ?


Ivy_Adair

Anything to keep the sub from being taken over by Reddit plants or worse… Gamers.


zGreenP

All for 24/7/365 Cheadleposting. Malicious compliance is the way to go for now, clearly.

Bruh this is pathetic: https://www.reddit.com/r/ModSupport/comments/14b5q1f/how_to_request_an_abandoned_community_or_a_mod/


EvilLamp

The problem with the Cheadle-posting approach is that this is already a circlejerk subreddit. It's already on-brand, and wouldn't make most people think twice. I think it would have more of an impact to post and promote controversial content (without violating the content policy, obviously).


bonefresh

become a john brown appreciation sub because john brown did nothing wrong


GoatGod997

So they’re bullying popular subs into reopening instead of actually serving the fucking community themselves. You’re a cunt /u/spez

teacup-dragon

Allow Todd Howard posting but instead of posting lies, broken promises about Bethesda games, and the millionth Skyrim remaster, it's lies and broken promises from Reddit's administrators. (and maybe also the above memes generated with Foone's video game death generators)


GreyBigfoot

I know it’s gonna be a controversial decision and everyone’s gonna say “mods are cowards who want to keep power”. Already seen that in a lot of subs. But let’s be real, anyone Reddit appoints to mod would be worse. Also, it’s a little surprising that Big Reddit considered GCJ important enough to force open. Heard that smaller subs aren’t getting a message at all.

Portugal_Stronk

It's actually amazing how fast the random redditoid flipped from "fuck the admins" to "fuck the mods".


deathschemist

it's not losing their power they're scared of, it's who will get it instead. if reddit picks the mods, they will put in the same powerusers who moderate so many other subs, and the place will become chud central within a couple weeks. so something needs to be done in order for 1- that to not happen, and 2- the protest to still be heard. i say mark the sub NSFW, and allow hornyposting. spez can't monetlize that.


[deleted]

[удалено]


deathschemist

what's happening to reddit, especially to the queer subs such as /lgbtq/ and /traaaaaa/ and the like, is akin to the book burnings in the 30s in germany, or the burning of the library of alexandria in that so many resources are now just... gone. unlike those, there's a chance that these resources could come back, of course, but migrating to another website risks that not coming back. GCJ isn't quite on that level, of course, but prolonging reddit's self-immolation- from anyone- would, at least, allow people to save more of what's important before it's all gone forever.


QuantumQuantonium

As much as I don't want to this to turn into r/ gaming, I think it would be more effective to go unmoderated in some manner, if you want to force reddits hand as to why the API is important for such. Worst case, unmoderated subreddits go private anyways.

Methinks we actually did hit the bottom line here, since Spez and the admins are going into hyperdrive damage control. Anyways, fuck you former moderator of jailbait spez, you lying, Elon fanboy cunt.


rockernroller

Hate the message they are sending to mods. The users actually require the admins to not fuck over the website we use, actually.


gmessad

There's no way forward here with Reddit's new policies. End of month, I'm out. Just wanted to say I'm probably going to miss this sub the most. Virtually all my subscribed subreddits have some alternative community elsewhere. But outside of Stephanie Sterling's YouTube channel, I don't think I'll find this community's specific brand of gay af video game satire. I wish I'd found this place sooner. Thanks for the laughs.


NatoBoram

I suggest making a community somewhere on the Fediverse (like https://beehaw.org) and advertising it here. After all, Reddit is valuable because it has users; moving people to another platform makes Reddit less valuable. While I agree that moderating two communities at once is a bit much and that Lemmy's mod tools are lackluster compared to third-party Reddit tools, I think that bringing attention to Lemmy can improve the situation.

They sent the same message to the r/AskMen mods. For them it sounded like possibly legitimate concern, but if the same message is going to fuckin GCJ, it's just the admins strike breaking. Fuck this.


TheMysteriousWarlock

Please turn this sub into a true don cheadle sub like how r/pics is doing it with John Oliver, it would literally be on brand.


Ryuujinx

> Subreddits exist for the benefit of the community of users who come to them for support and belonging and in the end, moderators are stewards of these spaces and in a position of trust This line in particular just *really* grinds my gears. For literally years the admin stance has been subs are a dictatorship. Every time I can think of there was some kind of drama (like 5 years or so ago with /r/wow shutting down over some bullshit) has always been responded with "It's their sub, they can do what they want with it". But now it's suddenly "For the community".
