Honestly, can someone tell me what the point of a 2 day blackout is? Like if you’re really all about getting the point across, why would you not just go balls to the wall and go dark indefinitely until change? All a 2-day blackout is (in my opinion) is just virtue signaling to say we oppose what you’re doing but ultimately I’m too addicted to ever quit
@SteveToshSnotBarry @EFG
Inertia means most people don't *want* to move elsewhere. A longer blackout would just result in people scattering all over the place.
A short blackout keeps the community together, while also showing reddit what could happen if they don't change their mind.
So, less "virtue signalling"🙄and more of a two-fingered salute.
