It's gratifying to see so many subreddit moderators participating in the blackout of a site run by deceitful, greedy people. But if the subreddits go dark only for two days, and then return as if that solves anything, they'll be empowering the deceitful, greedy people. The message will be lost, or worse, the opposite of what's intended.

Stay the course.

@dangillmor The good news is that this has educated a lot of redditors that they can migrate their communities to the Fedi fairly easily. I’ve worked on several threaded system, and I’m considering forking Kbin into a something even more discussion oriented. As adequate as they may seem to newbs, web-based forums are still a less-than-optimal UX, imo.

@shoq @dangillmor as long as the threads are hierarchical, and you can embed photos or other forms of media, it will do for now

@dave @dangillmor Sure. but I’ve never been content with “for now.” I’m interested in what I call ESAP (Enhanced Shareability and Persistence). With due respect to all these young devs, so many of these “new tools” are actually quite dated in their approach. I always hated reddit, so cloning its core model just doesn’t excite me much.
