Beat me to the punch. This is only starting

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm curious what comes next. I already quit Reddit, but I'm still invested in the outcome. I spent well over a decade on Reddit, so I wanna know how this plays out. I'm really loving the Lemmy community, and I don't plan on going back to Reddit (won't say never, cuz if they backpedal and make appropriate changes I'd be willing to go back for some things, but it'll never be at my old usage rates).

Same here. I was on reddit for 11 years and carved out a comfy niche. If they backpedal I'll go back for the smaller communities I was active in. But like you I won't be using it nearly as much. Lemmy's pretty neat and I'd like to see where it goes

I wonder which Is more accurate, that one or

Reddark.untone.uk

Reddark is still saying there are 3.7K subreddits still either closed or restricted.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

does that site suggest there was no down turn in comments or posts based on the graph on the right?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It was definitely lower on Monday and Tuesday.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s a dent for sure. I wonder how much more effective it would’ve been if the plan was for a week, or longer.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The fact that it was for only 2 days to begin with is a joke. That’s now how a strike works.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I think if they said from the start it was indefinite Reddit Inc. Would have implemented plans to manually open them back up from the get go and no real splash would have been made. Saying 2 days reddit decided to sit back and wait, now the world is watching if they manually force subs open by replacing mods.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

yeah a 2 day strike is nothing lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

r/pettyrevenge was also private for one hour lmao

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I wonder why so many are struggling to commit

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not even close to r/travel's pathetic blackout

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

or TrueOffMyChest's

They are restricted instead of private. I think that means people can still view them but not post or comment.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

This is a true meta moment!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I truly cannot think of a more poetic note to go out on. Welcome.

Something interesting I noticed here is that less NSFW subreddits have gone on blackout, BUT most nsfw subreddits are still in blackout instead of only lasting 2 days, which is cool

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I think the NSFW subs are really getting fucked (hehe). The mod tools are really needed by them AND NSFW content is specifically being removed from the api.
