So, /r/memes did a poll. The exact numbers happen to be multiples of 10%, but ignore that.

  • 10% of users want the blackout to continue
  • 10% of users want the subreddit to open back up as normal
  • 80% of users want the subreddit to only allow Medieval / Landed Gentry themed memes.

Henceforth: “The title of the posts must include either of the words ‘Medieval’, ‘Landed’ or ‘Gentry’, and the meme must include medieval content/images, or include content that features text about Landed Gentry.”

Hear ye, hear ye, the people hath spoken.

    What it does do is actively highlight that the community is being destroyed, and the protests are actively degrading the experience. All the more to entice people to look around at other social media options.

      They really thought it’d just end after 48 hours; it became a war of attrition and I’m happy so many of us found the fediverse. I’m happy the project(s) seem to have talented and dedicated developers and admins; long live the Fediverse.
