/r/memes gives hilarious data in re: spez's assertion that most users want things back to normal; changes rules accordingly
(lemmy.world)
So, /r/memes did a poll. The exact numbers happen to be multiples of 10%, but ignore that.
- 10% of users want the blackout to continue
- 10% of users want the subreddit to open back up as normal
- 80% of users want the subreddit to only allow Medieval / Landed Gentry themed memes.
Henceforth: "The title of the posts must include either of the words 'Medieval', 'Landed' or 'Gentry', and the meme must include medieval content/images, or include content that features text about Landed Gentry."
Hear ye, hear ye, the people hath spoken.
The level of cooperation required to stage this malicious compliance also puts the lie to Puffman's assertion that the people upset about the changes are a tiny, irrelevant minority. No, my liege, that tiny minority are the backbone of the product you're so desperate to sell.
