The creative noncompliance is pretty awesome. I just got the following from my daughter, Shadi.

(Also, I should note that the Fediverse version of Reddit, Lemmy, is seeing a big growth in subscriptions.)

——

Some other good ones: r/aww, r/shittymoviedetails, r/PokémonGo, r/forbiddensnacks - all John Oliver.

r/wellThatSucks only posts pictures of vacuums now (and some John Oliver)

r/egg_irl only allows eggs.

r/shitposting will delete your comment if it uses a specific letter, or if you’ve made a certain number of posts/upvotes that month (“to pwotec the delicate fwower known as weddits pwecious swervers from rampant overuse”)

r/memes will only allow memes about medieval/landed gentry (apparently the CEO called mods the landed gentry or smthing).

A lot of subs removed their specific guidelines and only go by reddit ToS now. Leading to things like -
r/3dshacks(“3DS Hacks”) now getting a ton of posts about “3D Shacks”. Or r/iOS full of posts like “Not getting calls when my phone is off?”, etc.

r/piracy made a post saying by forcing them to reopen, reddit has given a tacit endorsement for digital piracy.

r/scams is going to take 2 weeks to approve any posts.

And some communities are doing things like having users swear a ton so they can mark themselves as nsfw which kills ad revenue.
