Good! That site is seeing its sad end. It was time.
Sure, but does it show any signs of working?
So far, we’ve seen interactions on the site fall maybe as much as 20% despite an overwhelming majority of large subreddits being private or restricted, impacting tens of millions of users.

Huffman mentioned that revenues were not significantly impacted and the noise will pass. So far, he appears to be correct. Now that we’re in the 3rd day, many subreddits have returned and interactions are almost back to pre-blackout levels.
Clearly some other shoe needs to drop before the protestors win.
Hey y’all, this is a great post, but please try to keep topics relating to the reddit blackout on the appropriate megathread, which should be pinned here: https://beehaw.org/post/550898
Going to lock this to focus further discussion.
Hey everyone, since the Reddit outage is a major event, we’re trying to keep things tidy on our instance and centralize the reddit situation. Please see the Megathread on beehaw at: https://beehaw.org/post/550898
Good. Let’s keep it up!
I don’t want to see Reddit fail, but I do want to see them change their minds or at least offer a compromise. Remember to vote in your communities to continue the blackout!
