I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the sub for a joke wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this sub is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.
You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love the show and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this sub is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find this sub closed for the sake of irony. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.
As someone who frequents r/dankmemes, they're called memes for a reason. They aren't meant to be taken seriously, they're all jokes, and just because you don't get them, it doesn't mean it's a bad subreddit. As far as I can tell, when all other subs fail to entertain me, r/dankmemes makes my day every time I get on reddit.
