The protests get even more creative. PoliticalHumor mods have set it so that if you subscribe to the community you can now do moderator actions through comments.

No more "Landed Gentry" here, just a total shitshow of deleted comments and lack of cohesive moderation.

They can't ban all of us

Spez later revealed an exciting new idea for a system where users will be able to vote moderators out of their positions and install new ones. This type of pure democracy on a site like reddit is bound to be wildly successful and incorruptible. But, there's only one problem: At the pace it takes reddit to develop new mod tools and systems, it'll be years before such a system is ready. That clearly will not do in a society built on instant gratification.

That is why the r/PoliticalHumor mod team would like to announce that starting today we are bringing pure democracy to the subreddit: All users are now mods, and as such, are part of the "Landed Gentry". Welcome to the club.

That's brilliant!! 1 million and 500 thousands users, hilarious.

That is incredible. It's hilarious, it's satirical, it's a sharp criticism and it absolutely hammers the stupidity of every Reddit statement home.

What a great team.
