What do you all think of the r/games sub's way of commemorating April Fool's?

The link is [here.](https://old.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/b7ubwm/rgames_is_closed_for_april_fools_find_out_why_in/)

Basically, they've closed down for today for the sake of spreading awareness about all forms of bigotry (including transphobia) within their sub and in gaming communities in general. I think that is really sweet of them.

Edit: If go there, be warned of comments and links that may be triggers. I'm so sorry I forgot to include a warning for that in the title!!

24-hour edit: I'm seeing a lot of comments in the discussion thread about how all this was unnecessary, and honestly, there were some good arguments. In particular, the choice of the day *is* kinda awkward but I can also see how it's appropriate in some ways. But in the end, I find myself unable to force myself to agree that it was useless "virtue-signalling." No matter if the bigoted comments are quickly and heavily downvoted, and no matter whether those commenters may never, ever listen because that's just how they are, I still think this gesture was worth something.

It's important to highlight that too many people feel it's acceptable to make comments like that, and also that these are what the mods have to go through. They're only human too, and no matter how ridiculous the arguments, these things could eventually get under anybody's skin through their sheer number and repetition. Even if I, as a casual browser may not see much of those, there were people who come in and feel and the need to behave that way, and it may just be my good fortune that I didn't come in at the wrong moment.

But actually, I'm someone who doesn't frequent that sub. So for me, it was only by highlighting those bigoted comments (even though they may be swiftly downvoted and removed) that I got to see where this particular sub draws the line. Maybe it's just the places I frequented in the recent past, but I can't help but still find this level of basic decency so rare. Every time I see something like this, I feel just a little bit safer to exist. And if just one of those people making hateful comments might rethink their actions, it's worth it to me.
