A community for sharing those miniature epiphanies you have that highlight the oddities within the familiar.

I assume someone's deleting critical news articles there, or having bot armies downvote them. On Kbin and Lemmy and Squabbles, even on Google News, I see Reddit's woes front and center.

I just checked /r/All and /r/Popular and after scrolling the whole first page I have 1 porn post on /r/interestingasfuck and a /r/technology post talking about the hacker blackmail event. So I am seeing two relating to the protest as of now.

However, I scrolled a few pages on /r/Popular and am not seeing the post you're referring to. It is ~15 minutes later as I'm replying to your comment, so maybe that particular thread is gone?

Edit: I did just see a /r/memes post that references the protest too on /r/Popular I missed earlier.

I've just rechecked and it's now fallen off front page - it was this: https://old.reddit.com/r/nottheonion/comments/14coqxp/reddit_is_in_crisis_as_prominent_moderators/

It was "23 hours old" when I posted that comment earlier, it's now "1 day old", so I assume it dropped down in the rankings because of that. But it was on the front page when this post was made
