Not going to lie, seeing the endless "news" posts that just quote the same archived comment/post from reddit is partially hilarious, partially frightening in terms of the spin of it all, and partially annoying that it is just the same content, with a different logo in the corner. Or all the news reporting on B. Blount leaving, all putting their own opinion, re-editing the re/code article. Then again, when "new light is shed on Victoria Taylor's firing" was just the same u/yishan quotes being published on yet another click bait site, I sighed, i really wanted new light to be shed, if only to justify certain tinfoil with regards to what is going to happen with IAMA on reddit (and I considered IAMA a fucking joke, when Bad Luck Brian was not interesting enough to justify an IAMA, where it didn't jive with everything else they do, will admit to upvoting all the top comments to Snoop Dogg/Lion's AMA back in 2012, and thinks it sad that an author resorted to doing a "secret AMA")
You might want to consider a sticky/real time discussion for tomorrow for spez' talk with the community about which subs have no place on reddit. Because we all want to watch that ship set sail, sink, or just burn in place, providing a nice bonfire to pop the corn. And even if it is smooth sailing with cheering, and fanfair, it will be a story here, along the lines of when the music died / prepare to deal with these "toxic communities" to hit voat.

I don't think I understand the question. Why would they vanish? Should I just say "fuck it," remove the sub from /v/all and let it be what it is?

As per Genghis_Khan:
The slightly more subtle secondary purpose is that it is a place for frustrated users to let out some steam instead of yammering incessantly about reddit in other subs.
And here I am letting out some steam.
17 other voaters seemed to think it was a good way to do that, and yet Genghis_Khan deletes the submission.
So we're supposed to hang out and talk about how reddit is going down the tubes on account of censorship, in a subverse that is itself now turning into a cesspool of censorship? Wow, they get just a little bit of power and look at what they become!

Your post was removed because it was off topic. Sorry, man.

I agree with everything you said except the image macro. I'd never have thought of them as substandard. Also would i be right in say that a lot of what you consider as substandard can be summed up as "no reposts"?

To be clear, 2 things:
