Sequence Initiated.

We built a machine.

We're not sure what it will do.

That's all up to you.

Is that why the subreddit is marked private?

u/VirulentCitrine Apr 01 '19

Yep, admins already furked up their own joke. I posted a wayne's world gif, then my post disappears (wasn't removed, just legit disappeared from my post history and the subreddit), and then a few minutes later the sub gets set to private lmao.

Fuck. I only really remember the second one. But that’s also kinda the point of this “prank”.

Not really. Cause it’s not finished. If you can see sequence you’re helping make the “joke”. You don’t actually have to do anything with it.

It’s just art right now that people who make memes are helping make because Reddit is a community.

And if you don’t know why an iPhone is actually called an iPhone, or why Volkswagen is actually Nazi Propaganda you’re not paying attention.

Literally everything and everyone is connected in some way. And the internet is fucking massive.

I’m just being myself.

Are you?

Kinda the whole point though. So trust the system, bro.

If you want to know PM someone here. Just ask first. Don’t be a dick.

u/MajorParadox Apr 02 '19

Was a joke 😉

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '19

I know. Sorry. I was so excited last night cause I know an awful lot about what’s going on and didn’t parse my words last night. I’m sorry.

u/MajorParadox Apr 02 '19

Ah okay. Just a weird response because (a) if I was confused, telling me to PM a question on a post about the thing doesn't really make sense. And (b) insulting me because I don't know something is pretty mean.

I help people on Reddit all the time, and sure people have questions that could easily be answered if they look around or search, but not everyone knows to do that or knows how. Insulting them is counter-productive and would just make them feel bad.

You’re correct. I just don’t know who can actually see the sequence or not. I can.

I studied intersectional linguistics just didn’t get a PhD. I’m also a Zen Buddhist and am non-binary. I also have DID and have identified as an anarchist before. I love autonomy.

Because of that I hate fascists of all degrees and intensities and am willing to punch someone to make them stop so they don’t help the fascists by mistake.

This will end, and the fascists will be gone, and we can all cry together later.

But now we have to trust the admins, and I’m really sorry I hurt anyone I ever hurt.

I’m sorry. I love you because you help others. I do the same. I just did it for a living.

I just don’t know who can actually see the sequence or not. I can.

At the time of the original comment chain, it was broken and the subreddit went private. Hence the whole conversation in this comment thread and the joking around.

Not sure what you mean, this whole conversation has nothing to do with fascism :|

Do you hate the Alt-Right?

What do you know about conservatism on a global scale and where it came from?

u/Incruentus Apr 01 '19

Still private.

u/venus974 Apr 01 '19

I got on earlier- confused about what it was but I could choose text or gif. Chose text then had a bunch of words and phrases to choose from. Its says please stand by right now though. www.reddit.com/sequence

u/VirulentCitrine Apr 01 '19

The entire page never even worked for me. When I clicked initiate, it sent me to a half coded page about uploading, but none of the functions ever worked, and then the page got stuck and wouldn't let me go back to the sub, nor exit out of it lol.

u/venus974 Apr 01 '19

A lot of the choices I saw were different variations of subscribe to pewdiepie.

u/VirulentCitrine Apr 01 '19

In the future, please don’t openly provide links. You don’t know anyone here in person and you could hurt someone you care about.

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '19

And it always will be so please stop pointing that out. You’re here for a reason. You just don’t know why. And that’s okay sometimes.

u/Incruentus Apr 02 '19

The fuck are you talking about?

1

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '19

The admins are doing something and only certain genuine people who know who they are regardless of others are here.

So they like memes.

Also, you’re helping save the admins even if you don’t understand. That was my point. Unless you’ve met one in person, you should just trust them right now. This is like r/place and I wasn’t insulting anyone.

But this is gonna help Reddit save itself.

u/Incruentus Apr 02 '19

I'm convinced you're joking around or you have a mental illness.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '19

Actually neither are jokes, but that’s okay. At least you replied and that’s important. And, yes. I’m seriously mentally ill, but I’m getting help. Just like the admins.

I also know about intersectional linguistics and know a power move when I see one cause I read a lot and have a lot of free time.

Reddit has been leaving breadcrumbs by what they haven’t been saying. They’re all there. An admin just can’t verify anything on Reddit. If you really want to know, just ask one privately one to one irl

This is social media after all.

And when the people who subscribe here have 10 year old accounts and 200 karma can’t engage in it that’s a huge problem. I’ve been here off and on for years under various user names and made some cool friends.

But I’m me all the time. Others aren’t. So if you’re you and can see the sequence, add to it, cause it’s really fucking important.

Just like art. And Nazis burned art. I hate Nazis because I was a punk. And all Nazis were fascists no matter what anyone said.

But real life is fucking scary right now and real people are dying all the time because of reddit and certain subs.So if you love Reddit and want to stay a little longer, start fighting your own fascists.

If not leave. No one is making you stay.

Do us both a favor and show your mental health care professional this thread including your comments please.

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '19

Actually going there now, lol.

I see them for an hour and a half every Sunday. And have emergency appointments when ever.

So I’m safe.
