Users of popular social news sites Digg and reddit who are looking for love may be in luck. In response to the inability of the sites’ user communities to get dates, either collectively or individually, one user believes he has discovered the solution: to form a union.

And so the union, Federated Users Combining Kilobytes (Instituted Nightly) Growing Less Obviously Sad, Even (Rarely) Scoring, was formed by Marxluvr28; he explains: “This all started yesterday in the lecture of my intro to political theory class, and I immediately saw the parallels between Marx’s working class, exploited by the bourgeoisie, and my friends and I who are exploited by a system designed to keep us girl-less and overweight. The solution was that none of us are as strong as all of us.” And so Marxluvr28 created a new discussion thread, posting “Internet users unite! You have nothing to lose but your virginity!” 

The union’s first order of business was to discuss going on strike. A strike which would include immediate cessation of: fixing computers, commenting on youtube, listening to girls as they complain about their boyfriends, all cheeto consumption, the sale of neck-beard trimmers, supplying lunch money to bullies, photoshopping catchphrases typeset in Impact onto photographs of cats and kittens, and reading XKCD. Furthermore, the group threatens to bankrupt Blizzard Entertainment by forcing all members to close their World of Warcraft accounts.

Reddit co-founder Aaron Swartz says he cannot speak on behalf of the community, but wishes them the best of luck.

So far the response has been favorable, with site-wide adoption rates ranging from 99% on reddit to 100% on Digg.
