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

John Oliver is taking over Reddit

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

It’s an old meme, but it checks out

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

There’s room in my heart for two internet boyfriends.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Ship the two of them

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I welcome our new John Overlord.

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

Remember to use adblock if you can. ^^

[–] EmpathicVagrant 6 points 2 years 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 🤫

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 😄

[–] s4if 23 points 2 years ago

noted, done my part by voting. lol

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.

[–] PsychoticBananaSplit 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] dustojnikhummer 5 points 2 years ago

r/nottheonion is leaking again!

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.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Upvote numbers are hidden unfortunately

[–] LufyCZ 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years 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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Like 50k vs -1k in favor of John Oliver.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years 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 12 points 2 years ago (3 children)

He already posted his favorite pics on twitter: https://twitter.com/iamjohnoliver/status/1670179738348933120

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Amazing. Thanks

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I love this so much 😂

That's exactly what I want in a community and I'm happy he's playing along.

Once the writer's strike is over there is sure to be a segment.

FYI- There is a writer's union strike in the US which has affected many weekly shows.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

it's affected every show that was in production at the time, weekly or otherwise.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Also voted for John Oliver. Used Apollo.

[–] Wolfric1982 6 points 2 years ago

Did my part.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Hibernate in me you bespectacled vaguely ursine athromorphic dreamboat.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Any other subs voting on similar manner?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

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

[–] sijt 7 points 2 years 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.
