Because of that and the support that's been shown, starting June 16th (so people have time to read this message), this sub will go and remain dark. And, as stated in the last post on this topic, we as a community are not beholden to it as we have multiple other great (and much better) options for places to post – this community also not being excessively active on reddit to begin with helps too. How they do so is up to them, but weekly one day blackouts and/or continued announcements about the blackout will likely be the most common.Īs for this sub, unlike reddit, we actually care about this community. Staying open, but showing solidarity - this option is for subs like Blind, stopdrinking, or Ukraine that are vital for various reasons, but still wish to show support as best they can.Going dark indefinitely - some subs, like DataHoarder, have understandably decided to go into restricted mode instead for their own reasons.There are now only two options in regards to subs: He also brought up some future “critical mod tools”, which I’ve seen stated are basically just what 3rd party apps have offered for years, leading some to accuse them of both copy/pasting and just doing the bare minimum to make it seem like they’re actually doing something for the community when they’re really only doing so to make themselves look better (something I forgot to mention in the last post is that reddit is trying to go public before the end of the year).Īs you can imagine, that leak, along with reddit refusing to even come to the table at all and reports of them doing some extreme shady shit behind the scenes that I’m not going to mention here as it’s all just a bit too speculative at this point, kicked the second phase of the protest into overdrive. Calling it all “noise” and saying “this one will pass as well” had all the markings of Marie Antoinette and "let them eat cake" (which, yes, we know she never actually said) - considering spez also recently tried to accuse the Apollo dev of blackmailing them, which iamthatis quickly and easily disproved, this really just speaks volumes about what he thinks of the community that provides his company with basically all of its content and much/most of its support. The two day reddit blackout has come to a close… and to really no one’s surprise, reddit not only didn’t do anything but spez also degraded and insulted the entire community via a leaked internal memo. Please see the list below while it is available or use this pastebin link for posting/sharing alternatives. TL DR: As the title says, we will remain dark.
