I noticed a number of subreddits came back a while ago, but in decidedly passive-aggressive ways. One is read-only and prevents anyone from posting any topic or reply. Another got rid of all its rules and permanently marked every post as NSFW. It's clear they're just trying to exploit loopholes to avoid getting banned while still putting up resistance, but it'll be interesting to see how Reddit deals with them once the admins get sick of their shit.
My favorite was all the gun reddits.
Why? Because the users basically said 'You stupid motherfuckers, reddit wants to ban us given any excuse ALREADY, and you basically went ahead and gave them what they wanted!?'
Funny enough, atleast one subreddit apologized and admitted they were doing a dum-dum, so there's that. Though, weirdly enough, I can't help but feel that the posting habits are... off... for some strange reason after a week or two of being private.
Milsurp is still down, though. Fucking retards.
Wonder if the mods were...replaced? I'd say by pod people, but I'm not so sure Reddit mods really count as people.
R/Steam has been amusingly spammed with memes about steam power and such for the last week or two.
I liked the one that made all million-plus users mods. Made me chuckle.
That's hilarious! That would be a fun sub to be subscribed to.
One of the new tactics I’ve seen is to upload giant video files of static to try to fill up Reddit’s storage.
