Don't cross the Reddit picket line
Why is this a banger lol
Figaro@cadey this is reddit's Digg moment. The end. We're all excited to watch from this side of the fence.
At some level it may look weird that only 7k subreddits are participating in this, but there's some subtle asymptotic power laws in how this accounts for most of the traffic to the site. I can probably write something up about it, but in general there's a small number of big players and then a long tail of smaller players. The inflection point is about 5k subscribers I think. Anything bigger than 5k subscribers is in the top 10%. I don't know what the total size of Reddit is (would have to pose as an investor to find out lol).
I don't know if this will really be a success as-is, for this protest to really have punch people need to close their subreddits and not come back. Right now the protest really is just a "we will suffer your enshittification 363 days of the year", which is just telling them that we will come back.
In order to really hurt them, you have to move to places like beehaw.org or pawb.social. Starting from scratch sucks, but we've done it before and we can do it again.

ThePop@cadey I brought myself to uninstalling, when I'm at home i will delete my Browser Shortcut, so that i won't click on it. Won't use it, till I have news about their policy change.

Agreed on the second, but the first is trickier. If you want to push people to new platforms, you probably need to actively make them aware of those platforms, and there may be better ways to do that than just shutting down forever.
@cadey By analogy, if you're an employee and you find out that your company is run by shitty people, you can either resign or you can sabotage it from within. And generally I find that people are much more eager to do the former than the latter, even if the latter is more likely to negatively affect the shitty people at the top. Sabotage is harder than resignation, but it is arguably more effective.
Viviana the Gender Witch@cadey yeah this makes sense. honestly, i feel like very few people actually browse the popular subreddits and most redditors have like a weird collection of subreddits that have a huge overlap in users (bc if youre in one people will mention and cross over with the others)
lonjil@cadey I think the point is that they're not coming back after the API change takes effect, so the blackout is merely a warning shit, not supposed to actually hurt.
Genders: ♾️, 🟪⬛🟩; Soni L.@cadey add reddit to ublock origin.
... wait has anyone made a picket-line ublock origin list yet?

But in case you didn't know, uBO can also block entire sites. You'll see it sometimes when you click a link and it tries to send you to one of those info harvesting proxies.

Shat ☑️@cadey it's not a picket line, users don't work for reddit. Barbie doesn't strike when Mattel commits crimes against humanity.

@pantheonw @cadey we mods do our work for free, moderation work is still work even if uncompensated.
Martin Raag@cadey I was doing very important research on gaming GPU’s and had to stop at midnight as all my search results suddenly linked to private subreddits. how will I search anything now?

Edan Osborne 🇺🇦🇵🇸♾️@cadey Does using Libreddit to view count, or would this be like using a pair of binoculars to look behind the picket line?

Espinada@cadey Reddit has lost any respect. Screw them.
Adam Honse@cadey Lol, old.reddit.com shows "reddit broke!" for me. Good.
Dan@CalcProgrammer1 @cadey If you have a mobile useragent set Reddit has been running an experiment to brick Reddit on the web: https://www.reddit.com/r/help/comments/13kzsr5/is_this_where_i_complain_about_the_mobile_web/
Reddit's C suite is certainly trying their hardest to kill the site!
Luke The Yeti@cadey down vote everything in new so no content reaches the front page from subs that aren't participating.
