WeaponizedPoultry

Several subreddits have ruled that they will now post only John Oliver related content as an alternate means of protest. I think it started on /r/pics, someone correct me if I’m wrong.

Yep. The battletech comunity on reddit is like 45k subscribers and stays active. Kbin’s /m/battletech has 56 subscribers. There are 5 threads. It’s gonna be quite a while before niche communities actually have any momentum.

They did just do a round of layoffs recently that dropped something like 5% of their staff. I won’t be at all surprised if that ends up just being round 1.

As long as it’s optional. I absolutely despise sites trying to decide what I want to see based on a few vague interests. I know that works for most people, but I can’t be the only one who would have a negative impression of that being the only onboarding option.
