Following in the footsteps of r/pics and r/gifs, r/aww is also holding a poll to decide whether to go back to "normal" or to only feature images of John Oliver, Chiijohn, or their lookalikes being adorable.

Poll is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/14bt0c1

Damn, I don't have Reddit anymore so I can't vote or even see the upvote numbers on the comments. Can anyone give me the rundown? This is hilarious

[–] CosmicSploogeDrizzle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Upvote numbers are hidden unfortunately

[–] LufyCZ@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Not anymore, it's 53k/-1.3k ish

[–] blahaj@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

If it's anything like /r/pics, it would be safe to assume those in favour of John will win by a long shot

[–] VioletteRei@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

John Oliver is taking over Reddit

[–] Nonameuser678@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks like he's the internet's new boyfriend. Keanu must be devastated.

[–] funkyb@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I welcome our new John Overlord.

[–] LittleKerr@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Opened Reddit for the first time in days just so I could vote 👌

[–] happyhippo@feddit.it 3 points 1 year ago

I tapped on the link before realizing I've actually deleted my account on Friday 🤣

Wish you luck, John! I'm sure you got what it takes 😄

Remember to use adblock if you can. ^^

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Who needs Adblock when you can use a third party app they’re trying to kill?

Who needs third party apps when you can use ReVanced to rebuild the official app without ads 🤫

This is the right kind of protest to avoid getting nuked. Make subreddits active but useless. It's not against the rules or r/PotatoSalad and r/Trees would be banned.

[–] sijt@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

What's chef's kiss perfect about these is that they're all using Spez's words against him. There's no doubt whose fault this is.

I'm still genuinely shocked that he decided to call people who are offering their time to the site, for free, to moderate it landed fucking gentry. How utterly out of touch, and frankly dumb, can you possibly be? Other social media sites pay millions a year to moderate content and Reddit gets it for free, and this is how he treats them. It's insane. The guy's an imbecile.

If both /r/trees and /r/marijuanaenthusiasts protest though it sort of defeats the purpose.

I hope r/WorldNews starts posting exclusively Onion articles. And r/Anime_Titties.. well...

[–] onepinksheep@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Except if r/worldnews posted Onion articles, all they'll be doing is predicting the future.

[–] dustojnikhummer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

r/nottheonion is leaking again!

[–] s4if@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

noted, done my part by voting. lol

[–] mabd@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can't wait to see John Oliver cover this whole reddit thing on his show by showing his favorite pics. I love it. I almost feel like going to reddit to help post the most absurd pics of him.

[–] PsychoticBananaSplit@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] mabd@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Amazing. Thanks

[–] ludeth@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Also voted for John Oliver. Used Apollo.

[–] Wolfric1982@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Did my part.

[–] Wolfric1982@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] onepinksheep@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, that's what "following in the footsteps of r/pics" means.

[–] SoupOfTheDay@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Hibernate in me you bespectacled vaguely ursine athromorphic dreamboat.

[–] pgetsos@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Any other subs voting on similar manner?

[–] onepinksheep@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

r/art also held a poll. It's over now and John Oliver won.

[–] happyhippo@feddit.it 2 points 1 year ago

iPhone, Tim Cook pics

[–] sijt@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I heard that /r/steam was all about actual steam now, not the gaming store. /r/scams is taking 14 days to approve new posts, gifs and pics are John Oliver only. I'm sure there are more, I've not looking at reddit in over a week (my main is a 17 year old account and I've been a daily user for most of that time), that's that I've seen on here.

I know, it is also mentioned on OP

I found WellThatSucks that only posts vacuums now, and InterestingAsFuck removed ALL rules and made the sub NSFW
