That applies to newcomers too. For example, if you want to lock a thread, simply comment “!lock”.

This one might be the best subreddit retaliation I’ve seen this week

This is one of those moments I wish this Lemmy app (jerboa) had a feature to see the URL before clicking it…
Or at least the domain
long press?

Blocking a community for a protest is irresponsible and undemocratic.
NSFWification
Using a feature that is explicitly baked into the platform is irresponsible and will harm
people who chose to click/tap on NSFW content clearly marked as such, and probably voted for to appear in the subredditchildren.Absolute democracy
You, uh, you have to… er, we uhm, uhhhh
That’s just beautiful.
Good for them. I hate to see Reddit fail like this but it’s the bed they chose to make.
I just locked a complete comment section. Cool.

Beautiful chaos
Wow.
What a nightmare this whole thing is turning out to be. I mean, imagine being the CEO right now. You want to seem strong, you don’t want to back down, but every day the chaos seems to get crazier.
Imagine the pressure right now.
And the funny thing is, he deserves every bit of the shitstorm he brewed. He’s traded his shovel for an industrial sized tunnel boring machine to dig Reddit’s grave, as well as his own.
this is really testing my resolve not to go back to that site.
For some reason, this whole chaos is more true to the Reddit I know than everything has been for the last years.
This is true democracy. Mob rule!
That’s a wonderful solution, I love it.
This is everything. I hope most subreddits follow suit. #LandedGentry
It’s beautiful. Ask and you shall receive. Fuck spez
While I never really used that sub I am proud of the mods there.
That is amazing.
These malicious compliances are too fun, unfortunately, this kind of thing will increase engagement. Funny though, would have been a great April Fools day idea.
I think over time it will decrease engagement. I had fun with the 2 level of protests for a bit, but it took me less than 24 hours to go from full time redditor to never opening the app again. The app I loved is dead; time to move on.
