Users began protesting by posting the word “print” under random submissions, leading moderators to lock down all r/Art posts—disabling comments, awards, and new submissions. External platforms also took notice, with X users highlighting the subreddit’s sudden lockdown.

On November 26, the drama reached its peak when r/Art moderators announced their resignation with a simple message: “You win. We all resign.”

Good: leeches all.

The post received over 23,000 downvotes. According to reports, the head moderator removed all other mods in what some described as a “power trip.”

Classic reddit moderator cringe.
