      Over 50% isn’t too bad at this point in the game. We’ll see if it drops lower over/after the weekend, but that is still a significant portion of subreddits, which are the only thing that generates content for reddit. I don’t this this will actually do anything, and I am done with reddit now. I never felt attached to it, and I have found active communities on lemmy for most of my subs, and the community is way better here. I don’t need reddit anymore.

        Plus the top dozen subs only make up like a few percentage points of the ones that pledged to blackout. So if those are still out then it’s still crippling. Like pics, funny, videos, etc

      I mean, there had been news about reddit forcibly removing mods and making private subreddits go public again, so I don’t know how many of the subs actually left the protest.

          What users? I have not been on Reddit at all this week.

          Other than going on to see how empty My feed is due to the blackout.

          If any Reddit mods see this. I vote in favor of total Black with a message redirecting users to a new lemmy commmunity.

          The lemmy iOS apps may still be in early beta, but they are better than the official Reddit app.

          Right. I don’t think spez realizes that most of the blacked out communities themselves actually support the black outs. A lot of them had votes on the matter. They had healthy discussion about it. These mods are not overruling their communities.
