Some of the biggest communities like r/pics, r/aww, and r/GIF decided to post John Oliver pictures and GIFs. In a tweet, Oliver approved this move.
In the case of r/aww, the community is also allowed to post pictures of Chiijohn.
r/iPhone decided to post pictures celebrating “dashing” Tim Cook.
r/Shitposting banned posts with the letter k.
r/Wellthatsucks is now a subreddit about vacuum cleaners.
r/Nofans is now a passive PC cooler subreddit.
r/Interestingasfuck removed a lot of all rules apart from asking members to not break site-wide rules.
r/Memes is allowing only Medieval / Landed Gentry memes. This is in response to Huffman’s “Landed Gentry” comment about protesting subreddits.
r/PokemonGo is now allowing pictures of John Oliver, Pikachu, or Spark.
r/Horny is now a “Christian Minecraft server.”
r/Steam members are posting about actual steam.
r/HarryPotter is now referring to Huffman as Voldemort.
Some subreddits such as r/Showerthoughts are determining close days for the community.

Glorious.

r/Nofans is now a passive PC cooler subreddit.

That should be a nice complement to r/onlyfans, which has previously refocused to pictures of fans (though it's still private)

...I'm afraid to ask what "nofans" used to be. I hadn't heard of it before.

Don't be afraid. Nofans - short for - No onlyfans - meaning content of normal women not out to make money (there was a version for couples too)
Maybe someone should bring it back here somewhere.

Let's be real if you want to gain popularity for your R****t alternative you just need porn and such (if you seperate the paid kind from the free link stuff you are golden and will grow fast sadly my knowledge on how to create such a place are limited in the programming department.
