Over 50% isn’t too bad at this point in the game. We’ll see if it drops lower over/after the weekend, but that is still a significant portion of subreddits, which are the only thing that generates content for reddit. I don’t this this will actually do anything, and I am done with reddit now. I never felt attached to it, and I have found active communities on lemmy for most of my subs, and the community is way better here. I don’t need reddit anymore.
Plus the top dozen subs only make up like a few percentage points of the ones that pledged to blackout. So if those are still out then it’s still crippling. Like pics, funny, videos, etc
I mean, there had been news about reddit forcibly removing mods and making private subreddits go public again, so I don’t know how many of the subs actually left the protest.
Right. I don’t think spez realizes that most of the blacked out communities themselves actually support the black outs. A lot of them had votes on the matter. They had healthy discussion about it. These mods are not overruling their communities.
Only a little more than 4700 subs out of over 8000 are still protesting. So I dunno. I think he won. That bastard.

Pics and gifs is just doing sexy John Oliver posts only now. It was decided via community vote.
So now if he wants to change something he is clearly going against the community.
That’s when you’ll see a huge exodus again

Some just opened to ask the users if they should close again, too.

What users? I have not been on Reddit at all this week.
Other than going on to see how empty My feed is due to the blackout.
If any Reddit mods see this. I vote in favor of total Black with a message redirecting users to a new lemmy commmunity.
The lemmy iOS apps may still be in early beta, but they are better than the official Reddit app.
