It hard to be one of Thanos' followers—just ask the Black Order.
In the Thanos Did Nothing Wrong subreddit, a 300,000-strong membership will soon be reduced by 50 percent with the snap of a finger, banned in an instant. "As you all know, I was in talks with one of the admins of Reddit," reads a message from Reddit user The-Jedi-Apprentice. "He told me that doing a massive ban the day before July 4 was a terrible idea, because many of Reddit’s engineers would be out with their families. Also, the engineers would not be prepared for a mass ban so close to it."
The user went on: "However, I presented a solution to these two problems, and I now have their permission to ban half of the sub! The random 50% ban will take place on July 9. The admins are designing a bot for me that will allow me to do the job in a quick and easy manner. So, be patient, and thank you all for your support."
The event could qualify Reddit for the Guinness World Record for Most Active Users Banned from an Online Forum in One Hour. Like the ending of Avengers: Infinity War left us, it's uncertain whether or not the members will be banned for life or just momentarily. Hopefully they won't have to wait until next year when Avengers 4 arrives in theaters to learn their ultimate Reddit fate. Either way, the Mad Titan would be proud.
