I didn't realise the sheer scale of protest over at Reddit. I'm using Stealth from F Droid to find out what's going on.

I hope I'm doing Lemmy right by posting this? Edit; apparently the link won't work for some reason. I've fixed it now. Feels like a pleb.

Hopefully many of these wind up staying private longer, 2 days isn't going to convince reddit admins of anything. The real shift will come when large subreddits start actively pushing their users to Lemmy or Mastodon or wherever else, nothing happens till users leave en masse.

It's likely - and is already being spoken about over at Reddit - that admins will just push out existing mods of the larger subs. I'm sure they'll find replacement mods. Or maybe just use bots.

In that case, the voice will spread out

/r/videos just announced they'll be going dark indefinitely. It's a huge sub with nearly 27 million subscribers.
