I don't know how I feel about this joke. If the person who originally posted it in the /r/cth days was posting in earnest, then picking on them isn't great. I'm sure there are more than a few people who feel that this is their only outlet or source of left wing voices. It just seems weird to kick one of our own for something that isn't chuddy
Not trying to start anything, but I've never seen this brought up.
I think even at the time the consensus was that the poster was right, and closing the sub was a shitty joke that took away an outlet a lot of people relied on. But now the sub is long gone, the people who ran the sub are long gone, and we're on like ten degrees of ship of theseus shit by now and calling out "closing the site as a joke wasn't ok" every time there's scheduled or unscheduled downtime for whatever reason is divorced from its original intent and is now just a meme form of complaining about downtime. I feel like people say it because it's the rote thing you say after downtime, like cursing someone's ancestors when they sneeze.
How do you feel about
and 
?
Wait what?
I was there for the bunny cop fetishist and it was funny, but it probably wouldn't happen now because of the internal site culture. Like maybe if someone from a federated site came onto c/anime with some wild take like "Made in Abyss is revolutionary and good" (it's actually the worst thing anyone has ever made and its fans should all go larp it in
) and kept doubling and tripling down on it over a 200+ comment thread, that might get memed on when people dredge their profile and find a bunch of weird creepy posts they made on other federated sites, but just having kind of a weird and cringe take doesn't start the same sort of feeding frenzy.
No context for the other emoji at all, some twitter thing? Never used the bad bird site.
That's dialectics for you.
