Their post announcing it, has comments disabled. I have been going on reddit looking for polls to vote “yes” to continue to participate in the blackout. This was kind of a bummer.
Edit: Looking at the mods most recent post, they’re still putting up a fight! And all new posts have 0 upvotes and I can’t see comments from RiF anyway. Can anyone else see anything from other reddit apps?
Does anyone give a shit? Oh no the horror! The users who browse r/funny won’t emigrate to another platform.
The users who browse r/funny won’t even migrate to a subreddit that has funny content.
Yes, some people obviously give a shit or it wouldn’t have been posted here.
I think they don’t really understand what they wish for.
Personally I don’t care if the users of r/funny emigrate, but the largest sub in the blackout continuing to be down would continue to hurt Reddit, which I wanted to see.
Unfortunately reddit was never going to allow that. I’m sure spez genuinely thought that mods would throw their little fit and then it would be business as usual. Once he realized that this wasn’t a flash in the pan he was more than ready to put his boot on some necks. At this point the mods should just abandon their posts and move on to greener pastures. They don’t owe reddit anything much less a two week notice. It’s not like they’re on Reddit’s payroll or anything.
