/r/LegalAdviceUK is forced back open, vows to move the entire community off Reddit

Reddit Migration@kbin.social – 291 points – 1 years ago

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.

Schrödinger's Redditor

Doublethink Reddit

to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again

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.
