I’m really curious about what’s happening on Reddit during this user blackout, did r/spez made other bullshits?

    If you really wants to know, all the blackouts have minimal effect.

    There are still a lot of engagements on Reddit, despite some subs going dark.

    Reddit can only lose if primary content creators and mods move away from the platform which isn’t happening as of now.

    They announced that the API will be free for mod tools.

    So they’re starting to buckle.

    Oh, the old place? Heard it’s running full steam ahead and that /r/conservative was going to take over the place.

    So, the usual, apparently.

      I already found my first ever overtly transphobic post on there yesterday. Just in plain view among a bunch of memes, it’s not like I sought it out or went looking for disreputable subs.

      It had been heavily upvoted.

      First time I got that real feeling of “Reddit probably isn’t for me any more”.
