That sucks. But the blackout has been horrible from a user standpoint.
There’s a wealth of helpful information on Reddit that’s just been obliterated from the internet now. Half the time when I’m searching for a solution for something I don’t even click on Reddit anymore.
That’s kind of the point, though.
If people weren’t bothered, why would reddit need to change?
that’s how strikes work, you know
So before normal users came we would tell people to RTFM, most of what was on there was posted from manuals often paraphrased (yes I get how that can help). There is very little on reddit that cannot be found in other locations though I will admit there are likely a handful of subs that did some unique stuff. Side effect of being primarily a link aggregator.
Also encourage people to back up before shredding.
The problem is that those other locations are frequently blog-style posts written primarily for SEO rankings, and the actual information is buried in pages of irrelevant content.
Reddit had a very high signal to noise ratio for niche hobby / technical questions.
That’s good. The very core point of a protest is to be disruptive, that’s how it works.
