Not too surprised, though it’s assuring seeing them doubling down on this path and the enshittification will continue. Better jump the ship sooner than later.

I think the subs permanently blacking out are the ones with the most impact. Having 24/48/72 hour blackout just says “we’ll be back soon!”, and in the end, is pretty meaningless. Shutting down legitimately and moving (taking some of your user base with you) is the only thing that will have any real impact.
Reddit is bound to just replace the mods of certain subreddits and reopen them. So the only real reason to do any damage is to move and take some users with you.
Yeah. Shutting down indefinitely won’t do any damage considering Reddit has made it clear that they will not change their stance. The community doesn’t have any leverage in the saying and they eventually will be forced to reopen.
Now, advertising alternatives and draining the user by saying they are moving to Discord or Lemmy? It may or may not make a dent but either way it’s still a much louder “fuck you” to spez.
Exactly!
Yea exactly. You gave them a start and end date, they can easily brush this off.
The average user unfortunately won’t care about any of this at all.
It helps that the big subs pussied out because the powermods couldn’t go without powertripping for a measly 48 hours.
I think advice animals said the admins hijacked their sub and set it back to public, maybe that’s what’s happening elsewhere too?
Maybe. I know some of the more, erm, propaganda subs chose to keep their subs open.
I wonder if it would be a good idea to have another few days of protest, but rather than leaving the subreddits on private we ddos their servers by switching them on and off
