Some of the planned blackouts will be temporary, others plan to shut their subreddits down indefinitely in protest.

When all the apps are effectively blocked I bet they push a release to the stores with directions to an alternative. Can Apollo, RiF, Boost, Sync and all the others launch gateways and point their users at the fediverse?

They could, but have no incentive to do so unless the dev specifically likes the fediverse or something.

Seems like either Reddit takes a new stance or these app devs will need to point at something else.
