r/Pics claims the Reddit protest was possibly exploited by bad actors, any idea what they're talking about?

Here's a link to their post: https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/14b2a6q

This is the first time I'm hearing about the bad actors part, and a quick search returned nothing. Anyone know what they're talking about?

I think there might be some sarcasm going on there given the tone of the post, and the fact the upshot of it was to propose a vote on whethe the rules should be changed post-reopening to only permit pictures of "John Oliver looking sexy".

Are you implying that sexy John Oliver could somehow be a joke?
