r/pettyrevenge was also private for one hour lmao

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

So prorevenge should have been private for a month? Lol

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I wonder why so many are struggling to commit

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

a lack of solidarity online

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Because there are a bunch of mindless users on reddit that do not care about this whole thing. They aren't useful members, just content consumers. But they are loud, and mad at the mods right now.

Beat me to the punch. This is only starting

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm curious what comes next. I already quit Reddit, but I'm still invested in the outcome. I spent well over a decade on Reddit, so I wanna know how this plays out. I'm really loving the Lemmy community, and I don't plan on going back to Reddit (won't say never, cuz if they backpedal and make appropriate changes I'd be willing to go back for some things, but it'll never be at my old usage rates).

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Same here. I was on reddit for 11 years and carved out a comfy niche. If they backpedal I'll go back for the smaller communities I was active in. But like you I won't be using it nearly as much. Lemmy's pretty neat and I'd like to see where it goes

So most of the big subs are still private, am I reading that right? That's a relief. I thought most gave up at the 2 day mark.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

does that site suggest there was no down turn in comments or posts based on the graph on the right?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Lowered by roughly 15%. Not huge, but noticeable.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was definitely lower on Monday and Tuesday.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s a dent for sure. I wonder how much more effective it would’ve been if the plan was for a week, or longer.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (3 children)

The fact that it was for only 2 days to begin with is a joke. That’s now how a strike works.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Yeah. Unless you already have a negotiation framework in place, it's probably a bad idea to announce how long you want to go on strike at the outset of a strike.

It's just signalling to the other side how long they have to wait you out.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

yeah a 2 day strike is nothing lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I think if they said from the start it was indefinite Reddit Inc. Would have implemented plans to manually open them back up from the get go and no real splash would have been made. Saying 2 days reddit decided to sit back and wait, now the world is watching if they manually force subs open by replacing mods.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I wonder which Is more accurate, that one or

Reddark.untone.uk

Reddark is still saying there are 3.7K subreddits still either closed or restricted.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

This is a true meta moment!

[–] snakesnakewhale 16 points 1 year ago

I truly cannot think of a more poetic note to go out on. Welcome.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

So glad to see so many I’ve subscribed to on this list!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

I was expecting to see it coming back online after a few minutes, given the name of the sub.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They are restricted instead of private. I think that means people can still view them but not post or comment.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not even close to r/travel's pathetic blackout

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

or TrueOffMyChest's

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Something interesting I noticed here is that less NSFW subreddits have gone on blackout, BUT most nsfw subreddits are still in blackout instead of only lasting 2 days, which is cool

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I think the NSFW subs are really getting fucked (hehe). The mod tools are really needed by them AND NSFW content is specifically being removed from the api.
