Please, people. Be reasonable and considerate of Reddit's need to make money. It is, afterall, spez's main focus.
What's up with people posting screenshots of text here? Are these screenshots of things random no name redditors are saying on reddit? Are these pictures of posts that are getting tons of upvotes or significant in any sort of way?
to me, for this specific post, it doesn't really matter where the words came from; it's a funny tongue-in-cheek thing thrown out into the digital void. Though, I think it'd have added value if it was said in somewhere innocuous, like a knitting or cute cat subreddit
It's highlighting a fun new way mods are protesting without being shut down.
If this was a way mods would actually protest, wouldn't it make sense to say who is saying it? They removed all attribution, all indication of votes, or any example of a subreddit actually doing it. Maybe I'm jaded from my many years on reddit, but I always get suspicious when I see a post like this that it could be a fake post or something.
With that said, if moderators actually did set their subs, like /r/aww to nsfw, that would be pretty funny.
People just don't want to link directly to the site. I know I'm still boycotting as much as possible, I've only gone back to post a link to a kbin guide. Also, what is a no-name redditor? Would you take this more seriously if someone else had said it?
Not wanting to link to reddit makes sense.
Though I would say, I would take something more seriously if a Reddit admin or a mod from a dozen subreddits said it. That would add lot more significance to a post like this. If it was from a highly upvoted post, then it's be more likely a form of protest that reddit mods might have seen or even decide to take seriously.
When I don't see any attribution I can't help but think it's just OP faking a post or just trying to get attention for themselves instead of just posting a text post to discuss the idea. Maybe I'm just jaded from my days on reddit though.
