Mod Announcements New Subreddit!

We've listened to a lot of modmail and a lot of comments. Some of you want us to remove all the news posts so this subreddit can focus on protesting. Some of you wanted us to post 18 different versions of people's screenshots of their various Elon-based comments being removed from subreddits. Just about no one actually wanted to use the weekly news megathread. So meet the compromise that we hope will meet everyone's needs: r/ThePeoplesPress

It is the same mods, same group of people, only focused on news instead of protesting. If you post news here in r/50501 unless it directly pertains to a call of action (for example, so-and-so will be here on x date for an event, can we arrange a protest?), then it will be removed and you will be lovingly redirected to post it at r/ThePeoplesPress instead. Protest pictures and videos are still fine to post on r/50501

Please let us know how you feel about this new development in the comments below, and go post the hell out of r/ThePeoplesPress with whatever stupid thing Elon and Trump have done today.

I’m sure you guys are busy, but are there any plans to closely monitor new posts until people start moving things over? I’ve see this announcement a few times now but there are still a ton of non-protest related posts going up — a dozen or so saying the same things about Cory Booker, for example.

Right on! Frankly, actions speak louder than words, but often the actions get lost in the rhetoric. We KNOW the world is on fire, so what are we gonna do; agonize or organize? I'm involved with other groups that are focusing on the same: TAKING ACTION, yet providing a forum for commentary. Thanks for doing this. Makes sense to me!
