I am enjoying the Reddit shit show.

I am also so glad I don't work at Reddit (for a lot of reasons).

I also really don't know their move if mods keep up the protest. (A big "if," of course.) The current leadership will be unwilling to cave, I suspect.

I can see the idea of “We goofed" post, but if it's true that (for example) Apollo costs them $20M/year (which is bonkers if true, and I'd like to know the delta of serving those same users off their own infrastructure directly)...

@lexfri I don’t have a feel for the scope of the strike/boycott. How many admins are on strike? How many users feel the strike , i.e. they can’t read any posts, post questions, write posts?

At this writing, 7700 of ~8000 subreddits are dark.

@lexfri Does being dark mean they are read-only?
@trustedsystem some are totally unavailable; a minority are read-only
@lexfri Even if I am already a member of a dark subreddit.
