Getting the majority of Reddit users to agree on anything is no easy feat, but the Federal Communications Commission has done it. By proposing to scrap net neutrality rules later this week, the FCC has fired up Redditors more than they were by the Super Bowl or the McGregor-Mayweather fight, according to an analysis from the site.

On November 21, when the FCC formalized its plan to repeal net neutrality rules, activists took over Reddit’s front page. In response, Reddit users voted posts related to Battle for the Net—an online campaign organized by multiple digital freedom nonprofits—to every slot on the front page.
