I think any and all subreddits should go this way.
Reddit is only popular because of the users. We create the content. Yes, a lot of posts on the website are external links but all discussions are generated and concluded by us, the users.
Shutting subs down for 1-2 days and going back to normal is not going to have much of an impact. It’s akin to a server blip. If subs shut down indefinitely then reddit has a real problem. ‘Normal’ users will start to take notice, whereas they currently might not be paying much attention. These subs should go the other route. Shut down and promote alternatives (such as lemmy!) to divert traffic away from reddit.
Pigboy Spez talked about not being profitable. No shit, you dick. This is how you become even less profitable, by pissing off the entire user base.
I loved this design. Did debate buying one recently but there was no real point for me.
Would be cool to see someone shoehorn an ‘M’ chip into one of them
