I'll actually miss that one, it was one of the least toxic large subreddits.
Same. The worst it got was "this is fakey mcfakerson!" (And those evaluations were usually pretty spot on).
I genuinely liked Reddit after unsubbing from almost all of the defaults. I'll miss HobbyDrama, a few others that were just really chill, and my local city sub. (But for some reason, being subbed to r/indianapolis meant that the algorithm thought you'd really enjoy r/desmoins and r/houston. Incompetence.)
Here's a link to the same post on Teddit, an alternative front-end to Reddit, to read the same post:
Viewing it this way means you're not giving Reddit traffic.
But posts like this you wanna vote on, not just view.
I loved BoRU. It was one of the best subs on Reddit. I definitely want to have some say in this vote. Sadly, it's the kinda sub that doesn't work that well here yet. It depended on the mainstreamness of reddit, as there's very few updates and even fewer that are that interesting.
Ok I clearly missed the John Oliver thing. Can someone explain that to me please?
Several subreddits have ruled that they will now post only John Oliver related content as an alternate means of protest. I think it started on /r/pics, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Wasn't it mainly nsfw sexy pics of John Oliver?
Their criteria was "John Oliver looking sexy," but no NSFW was stated, no. In fact, they clarified that John Oliver always looks sexy, so all pics of him were acceptable.
Also, John Oliver’s Twitter feed is just him posting pictures of himself for others to post on Reddit.

That is fantastic.
