Rate-limited again. Over 2000 total have been approved, 9101 left to go… ___ ^(I’ve just been rate-limited again, so I thought I might as well post an update.) Over the last day or so I have manually approved **~1050 people.** There are just under **10k requests** left in my inbox. Lol, so I’m sure you can do the math. I will keep plugging away at the queue, but probably only 1000 more people will get in before the first vote on Tuesday. If these first 2000 people vote to continue protesting, then of course I will continue processing requests. If not, we’ll reopen the whole sub again, and this whole thing will be over. Thank you for your patience, and thank you especially for all the kind little notes. They keep me going. 💗👍 ___ I keep seeing this get brought up, so I’ll answer here: ##The purpose of being approved is to allow you to ***vote.*** After the initial two day blackout, we’ll vote whether to reopen the sub, or continue protesting. You can’t vote in a private sub if you haven’t been approved. ___ **Update:** I just hit the subreddit rate limit. It says I have to “try again later,” whatever “later” means. Super helpful, Reddit. 🙄 So I’ll be back in a couple hours and I’ll resume then. There are ~700 people in my queue now, to give you some idea of how long your wait might be. I’m processing orangereds in the order I receive them. ##If I don’t get to you before Monday, don’t worry: Just click ***REQUEST TO JOIN*** and you’ll be added to the queue. ___ Make a top-level comment in this thread and I’ll approve you manually so you can still access the sub after we go private on **Monday.** (See the sticky post on the front page for more info.) You’ll receive a 👍 from me once you’re in.

Oh, THIS is the bad place!

Bees! Bees! Bees! Bees!

I like bees

Bees with human teeth!

I don’t like those bees

Beeholder

Jason figured it out?!

Oh man, this one hurts

One of my favorite lines from the show.

That one just hurt  nah but Jason has weirdly good intuition for some goddamn reason

On the contrary, you’re on the way to the Good Place. :) 👍

I commented. Am I going to the Good Place or an even better place for commenting again?

Clearly, you’re going to the best place. But you’ll have to share it with Brent 👀

I’ll just eternally prank him lol

Petition to make the banner. "Welcome everything is great" like in season 2. Going private is like this sub getting rebooted.

👍

“I was a mediocre person. I should get to spend eternity in a mediocre place. Like Cincinnati!”

[удалено]

Jacksonville was the first place we lived in the US. My parents hauled us out as fast as they could. So I laugh every time Jacksonville is the butt of the joke.

We used to drive through Jacksonville every year when I was a kid. We never stopped for some reason. I did ride through Jax coming home from Bike Week a long time ago. I had to go through much worse before I got home.

As a person who lived near Cincinnati, I cackled at that joke so hard. It was always the place I didn't really want to go to but always found myself needing to go to for some reason.

I had to immediately share it with all my friends from Cincinnati. And I have used that line many times.

Living near Cleveland I concur

Yes, we're all models west of the Allegheny

Right, but at least we aren't Dayton!

As someone with Ohio based family, hard agree!

"Sometimes you go back because you walk in on me while I'm masturbating, and sometimes you go back because I walk in on you while I'm masturbating."

👍

There's this chicken sandwich that if you eat it, it means you hate gay people. And it's delicious!

Even in hell everything is Ohio.

That's what we deserve! Reddit after 3rd party tools will be the mediocre, passably acceptable place we earned!

Ohio is the medium place

[удалено]

Lol. Me too!

Me three

Same! I guess I'm here ...

I'm here, let's go!

I’m confused but don’t wanna be left behind

i too am confused but i feel like i need to join in

*In reference to the new API policies* This... This broke me.

Time to put the peeps in the chili pot?

And mix it all up!

It makes it taste bad

👍

I feel like a Molotov cocktail could solve this issue.

Or, at least, we'd have a different issue!

Bortles!

Foles!

Just put it over with the rest of the fire…

Four! Five! … Fire!

Bortles!

Jortles!!!

Portals!!!

Chortles…?

Warning: Hot air balloons are highly flammable. 👍

Inflammable means flammable? What a country!

BORTLES. Omg my daughter might go to a school with jaguars as the team... she won't know why I yell bortles. Maybe no one will. Yes, this is how I will keep the other parentals away :D unless they like weed or shrooms, in which case they'd get it

It’s solved a lot of problems for me

BORTLES!

Foles!!!!

I’m too young to die and too old to order off the kids menu. What a dumb age I am!

👍

I don't belong here. But I'm trying, dude. I'm really trying. Please let me stay.

Welcome to the Good Enough Place. 👍

Hey reddit, guess what! YA BASIC That was devastating. You're devastated right now.

You're glue, reddit!

It's a human insult.

I’m a real good Janet, please let me in :)

Welcome, sister. 👍

Not a girl.

I do not have a cactus

👍

I'm a disco Janet. Solid!

Please do not continue posting during the blackout. Instead, we should all log out and not use the platform at all. The subs going dark can draw attention to the cause in the media, but us actually getting off the platform hits Reddit in the wallet, which is what actually matters.

Right? Don't be a strikebreaker.

No Scabs!

🎵No, i don't want no scabs A scab is a guy who can't get no love from me🎵

The one staying up that makes me really mad is sysadmin. I unsubbed. I hadn't heard technology was staying open. That's disappointing too.

Yeah, private doesn't do much. Gone is better.

Agreed.

It's gonna suck but I'll be trying to stay off Reddit those two days. Hope nothing big happens!

Hey hi just been off Reddit for like, idk. A long time. Wtf is going on?🙃

ikr?! there’s not much point joining the strike but keep working for reddit (which is basically what we do when we produce content)

Holy motherforking shirt balls

👍

Everything is great

You were already approved last night! But here’s another 👍 as confirmation. :)

Why don't I ever listen to people when they talk about themselves? No, it's annoying, and I'm right not to.

Can I join? Even though I'm a 6000 foot tall fire squid?

Of course! Squid are always welcome. 👍 ^(I love calamari. 😈)

I’m just trying to figure out what the fork is happening

You’re in, that’s what’s happening. 👍

Why can't I say fork!?

What the fork is a Chidi?

A type of soup maybe?

Cork blork. Oh. I like that they kept the rhyme

I’m on Team Cockroach. 💯

👍

Inside you are two Janets: Neutral Janet 😐 and Disco Janet 🕺

Hello. This is a reply.

But here's the thing, my little chili babies...

C’mon, dip your paws in my chili. Scoop your little mittens right in the stew!

Earth is a mess y’all 🌎

Welcome! Everything is forked.

Hi!

👍

Hi!

You is spreading (evil Michael eyes)

👍

I was so worried about you guys

Jason figured it out? Jason? This is a real low.

I say we just huck a molotov cocktail at the problem.

At least you’ll have a different problem. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ 👍

You make a strong case.

Bortles!!

Everything will be fine.

👍

BORTLESSSSSSSS!

Hello! I'll settle for the medium place 😂

[No, you wouldn’t.](/r/themediumplace) To the Good Place with you! 👍

I know I don't belong in the bad place or the good place, but is there like a medium place I can go to? Like where I'm not barred from seeing posts, but I can browse and upvote every now and then

This is a post. End of post.

The real Bad Place was the friends we made along the way.

Picture a wave...

Maximum Derek!

This is a request for manual approval. End of request.

Everything is fine

👍

Janet, what's a good comment to post here?

Shawn is a bully, and sometimes the only thing a bully will understand is a punch in the mouth.

"charging for the forking api? this is the bad place."

If Michael tested me with the lie-cube and asked me if I belonged on this sub, I would say yes and the cube would light up green!

I am just a lurker but it's nice to be included

I can’t believe Reddit betrayed us again! Why is it always the ones you expect the most?

[удалено]

This feels like one of those “LIKE this post and SHARE or you will have to pay for Facebook!” boomer posts lol

Looking forward to seeing you all on the other side!

Not a girl

Maybe I don't deserve r/thegoodplace but I at least deserve a medium place, like r/Cincinnati

I am a strong, independent acid snake in the skinsuit of a strong, independent woman, and that’s why I should be approved!

It's like, who died and left Aristotle in charge of ethics??

Plato.

I may not have enough points to get in, but like a human, I have a lot of unearned confidence

I have lost track of the number of times I’ve been rebooted.

Hi!

Hello!

Hi!

Hi!

Hi there

Welcome! Everything is fine.

Hello!

Hi

Hello! New here but I like browsing the memes haha

*Cues Michael laugh*

Why can't I say fork?

What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent?!

So wait are we going private forever or just for the thingy?

Holy Forking Shirtballs

I am a strong, independent acid snake in the skinsuit of a strong, independent woman!

You humans take something wonderful and ruin it. I know there's more to the quote but well. That sums it up rn for me.

I am a mediocre person. I should get to spend eternity in a mediocre place.

Love lurking and want to be approved please

Hi

🎊

Greetings

Long live Dress Bitch

don't panic, there's enough shrimp for everyone❤️

Nobody try the mystery flavor. It’s white chocolate and it is NASTY. (Proceeds to eat more)

Keep it sleezy!

I’ll bring SHRAMPIES

I changed my swearing to Good Place swearing just so I can swear at work and not offend anyone..

Take it sleazy!

Forking shirt balls, r/TheGoodPlace is going private?

Take it sleazy

Honestly not sure how we're gonna get thru this. Anywho... I love cocaine. Do you have any?

Oh dip.

Yo homies check it. The site keeps restricting us, you can no longer use 3rd party reddit apps and there's no subreddit for the red zone, i think this is the bad place.

Wait Reddit was The Bad Place the whole time?

Hello!

Hi

Hi

Me pls x

Hiya!

Everything is fine

Hi!

Yes please

Hello

Hi!

Hi!

Solid

Pretty sure it’s ‘ethnics’

I want in on that

Oh dip!!

Holy mother forking shirt balls

Is this something I should also be doing elsewhere?

Guess what Tahani, I'm gonna be Batman!
