How many Reddit "blackouts" has there been? I feel like it's almost a yearly occasion. There was the first one in 2015 over Reddit firing whoever the hell Victoria was and the one from a couple years back over that pedo admin, then smaller ones when "net neutrality" and BLM's Blackout Tuesday were things, but this one's the biggest one by far with MOST subs on the site taking part. But really, has no one ever told subreddit mods they don't have to private their subs to protest? At least some of them are directing you to a Discord server in their private message I guess, though not enough.
 
what the fuck is wrong with redditors? how can anyone possibly be this retarded?

why would you let your enemy know that you only plan on resisting them for 2 days before you give up

i know redditors are attention whores in need of constant validation but surely given the existential threat to their favorite website they could protest it properly and stop using the website for more than 48 hours without wanting to kill themselves

rate me optimistic i deserve it

These faggots won't even last that long. 48 hours for plebbitors? They'll be lucky if they last 12.

I can't get all the comments in the archive but the sub's about to be privated indefinitely so:

https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1476rje/team_and_community_rnba_is_participating_in_the/


the NBA sub is full of normies, the championship could be decided tomorrow, and everyone in the thread is furious. They didn't see the poll, less than 1 percent of the users voted in it, and anyone defending the decision to private is getting downvoted with people asking Reddit to remove the mods. I think this is a good look at what the actual site users believe.

The only people who support blackouts are the turboautists who start shivering at the thought of not being able to upvote their favorite goyslop for 2 days, the normies who use Reddit because they found Facebook annoying just get pissed off they can't discuss actual happenings.
I peeped into a few of the "we're shutting down" threads over the weekend and all of them were filled with comments like "omg so glad you're doing this we must show le reddit we're the power!". I didn't bother posting and archiving any of it because it's self-congratulatory drivel and would add nothing to the thread. It's not even funny, just sad.

Did you see any where subs said they wouldn't go private and just got downvoted and chastised by le Redditors for it? Or any comments where some peasant dared disagree with the blackout and was similarly flogged by their fellow Redditors

This usually happens when paramedics, nurses, etc. go on strike - if they striked for longer than a day or two then there would be an unconscionable loss of human life.

Basically what I'm saying is the unwashed tranny jannys think they are providing a life-saving public service. There's already been REEEEEEEing about how they are LITERALLY committing trans genocide by shutting town the degenerate troon subreddits for a few hours.
 
The blackout only lasts two days because powermods and ledditors are addicted to the dopamine they get from updoots and "banning nazis". They don't truly give a shit as long their echo chambers are preserved.

someone tell me about how this shit works, when a sub with fifty billion perverts subscribed goes dark do the subscribers still get to see and use the sub? Does it just hide it from public view?

I followed a few subs that went private today (mainly gaming stuff and a model making sub), and i can't see them at all, trying to go to the sub directly by a link just throws up a "This sub is private" message. The only way you can gain access is if a mod gives you access, regular users can not access the sub in any way while private.

I think it would be extremely funny if Reddit told the jannies that they can have their 48 hour black out only if they agreed to get banned/loose their modship (or get banned anyway for fucking with the site). Really make the jannies put some skin in the game while looking like a bunch of losers when the mods refuse to do it.

Despite thousands of subs going dark, reddit has never been so fucking sluggish for months. I swear to god if they're getting DDoS'd then this is just the cherry on top.

>Not using a privacy based reddit front end in 2023
>ISHYGANDT

I'm not having issues with libreddit on the subreddits I sub to that are still public.
 
Using a third party app suggests to me that you browse Reddit for long periods, which is honestly baffling to me: Isn’t the whole concept of this webshite based on sharing and discussing opinions? Why exactly is there an app for this in the first place, let alone different clients?

Up and down like crazy now. Was timing out via Libreddit and if you don't use a privacy respecting frontend, you get assloads of GraphQL errors in the backend. I wouldn't be surprised if they were getting DDoSed.
 
The worst part of this reddit blackout is hearing my soyjack coworkers geek out about it all day. Apollo, and all other 3rd party apps are parasites to Reddit and it makes total sense for Reddit to charge them. They have already walked back API pricing for any accessibility apps, said they are working with 3rd party apps that actively want to work with them and are granting free API access to modding tools. I listened to the logs with Apollo and frankly, he sounded really bad there and I think he spat at a gift horse.

I hate Reddit and haven't actively used the platform since whenever the donald was taken down and Spez started editing comments. But they are totally in their right to do these moves, they are getting sucked dry by 3rd party apps and AI scarping every day they don't incorporate these changes. If they want to make money, which right now they don't, this had to end and end ASAP. What else do you expect them to do, continue to tank money for their tankie users who will never show them a dime of support? These 3rd party apps have been given a free ride for a close to a decade, being able to place ads and charge for their service while simply leeching off of Reddit's userbase and content.

The whole thing is absurd and when I watch subs like bimbohypno go private I am only reminded Reddit is a plague on society.
Actually, I take back what I said to start this; the real worst part is that reddit isn't going down for good.
