All this is doing is driving up engagement for reddit. If you wanna protest then just stay off reddit. This isn’t to say I don’t enjoy seeing this, cause it is hilarious, but it’s still giving them what they want, engagement.

I don’t necessarily agree, if one persons short term engagement results in five people’s long term disengagements then it’s a net gain and a good investment!

It doesn’t hurt to use these opportunities to remind people of the reasons to abandon Reddit (and of course of all the various alternatives that exist).

You make a pretty good argument here, never thought of it this way.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
