    I keep seeing these types of posts and my curiosity got the better of me. Finally opened Reddit (on a 3rd party app) after a week and a half. Aaaand… It looks exactly the same as before.

    So I did some research and searched for r/interestingasfuck. And yeah. Might like it better how it is now lol.

    Reddit muat be blocking all the protesting subs.

      Yeah it looks like the posts in question aren’t coming to the front page

      Not only blocking, they are replacing mods of subreddits that are protesting. Reddit cannot die fast enough.

    As part of the protest they’re (mods) marking their subs as NSFW which I find hilarious and clever (because advertisers are adverse to porn), BUT, the side effect is NSFW subs aren’t promoted to front page/all by default

    The mods of /r/austria wanted to do Tom Turbo content. For those who don’t know who or what Tom Turbo is: it’s a 90s children’s book and TV series about is a talking and self-driving bicycle with 111 gadgets that solves crimes together with a bunch of children. Funnily enough, this was not particulary popular and stopped quite quickly.
