r/pics is wide open to all kinds of anti reddit posts, calls for spez to resign, whatever you want with the current rules right now.
all it takes is John Oliver be featured in the image and title and you're free to post anything (but no porn or gore). go nuts!
the sub is in open rebellion and the mods don't delete critical posts. they even allowed a post calling out spez' history with child porn, to hit the frontpage of r/all! until an admin spotted it and had it removed. let that sink in.
it's because the mods don't act anymore, unless an admin tells them to, and by the time the admin sees a post on the frontpage, the damage is already done. it's malicious compliance from the users and mods! if your title doesn't trigger any bad words, the admins have no idea what's in your post until it's too late.
pics has 30 million subscribers and 8k are online. it's massive, and they upvote stuff to the frontpage, easily. some examples:

https://old.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/14k8ul7/thank_you_john_oliver_for_protecting_my_post_from/
but the mods can't post the critical content themselves! they need others to do it, so they can turn a blind eye. that's how this works, it's a coop game ๐ค๐ค๐ค
If you're planning on continuing protesting there, then yes. Only dedicate any posts and comments to the protest and for protest purposes. Otherwise, the best thing to do is delete and move on. Like other comments said, it's all just traffic for them, however if you're going to be there anyway, you may as well be there for a cause.
