What could go wrong?

Users are already planning protest art. I personally wouldn’t encourage people to join because it’s more traffic for Reddit, but that’s just me.

On other news, apparently requesting a subreddit now requires a 28d old account with 100+ karma.

EDIT: it's on again, since 20min ago:


The only two recognisable things are the “fuck spez” and nationalists spamming some government flag.
