      Thank you for linking this. Glad to see so many subs continuing indefinitely.

      Did you see the comment about r/adviceanimals and r/Tumblr have been forced public by Reddit?

      Edit: Anecdotal comment states r/Tumblr had all of its mods leave and was forced public.

        Yes, I did read that just now. Earlier on the blackout tracker I did notice it was back online and I was wondering why. I wouldn’t consider adviceanimals to be a particular important subreddit (compared to the much bigger ones that are offline), so I wonder why? I kinda wonder if something else was going on there for the admins to do that.

        edit: /r/tumblr is private

        Eject the current mods, is kinda going nuclear. It will damage the trust Redditors have in a subreddit. However, should Reddit do that, then I would imagine they will do that on a larger subreddit and a consequence of that, that news will spread like wildfire. That in turn will, most likely, cause moderator walkouts.

        I know current Reddit management is acting like they are stupid. That doesn’t mean that they are stupid.

        But that’s just my 2cts.

      I really appreciate how reasonable (IMO) the demands are in the stickied comment in that thread.

      Honestly it would be a good business move to accept those terms exactly as presented in that stickied comment. Nothing unreasonable is being suggested there.

        Those comments though, wow. There are a whole lot of people who don’t understand anything about this and blame the mods and app developers. And we’re all over here on Lemmy instead of correcting them.

          That’s the problem with leaving out of protest. The predominant voices on Reddit will be the ones who don’t leave. It will become the popular opinion that Reddit is in the right. We can’t control that. We just have to know that we are doing what’s right for us and move on to better things

      Thank you for posting that, really happy to see so many subs supporting the effort. Hope more will join too but regardless of the outcome, I think I’m staying on lemmy, the interactions here feel different than those on reddit and I enjoy that

      It’s amazing what subreddits exist that I had no idea about. I don’t know if humanity will ever recover from this loss.
