As with many other subreddits, /r/LegalAdviceUK (which had been dark since the start of the blackout) has been sent a thinly-veiled threat by Reddit.
So they’ve reopened in order to start moving the entire community of 810,000 subscribers to somewhere else.
As you can imagine there are a number of legal professionals who moderate that sub, and they really don’t take kindly to being threatened. They sign off their reopening message with “Fuck /u/Spez and long live John Oliver.” but for the real fun you might want to look up a very famous British legal case they reference, Arkell v Pressdram 1971.

Awesome! My favorite bit.
Huh. That’s the same behaviour Unberto Eco identified with fascist movements in his essay on the subject, Ur-Fascism:
That tracks, given that Spez admitted in a recent interview that he’s emulating Elon Musk, champion of the fascist right.
He will never be 0.1% of Elon Musk.
Elon Musk isn’t 0.1% of Elon Musk’s (former) public image.
A whiny trust-fund baby who destroyed their company and image through compulsive lying?
They seem equally worthless to me.
Not to blow anyone’s mind but that’s pretty popular rhetoric on Reddit. Usually when described how right speaks about the left.
It was not a coincidence ;)
Thank you for using teddit instead of linking directly to reddit <3
Can highly recommend the LibRedirect browser extension too, to take care of that 100% of the time

Doublethink Reddit
Schredditors then?
That would be an accurate description of what I did to my posts and comments on Reddit. But with the uncertainty and chaos baked in.
I like it.
The enemy being both weak and strong at the same time is pure far right rhetoric. Judging by u/spez being a Musk fanboy, I’m not surprised.
