Is there any feedback of the current blackout? Feels like everything will be over soon and it's going on like before. - Lemmy.world

They're currently gathering subreddits for an infinite blackout from May 31th https://old.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/148ks6u/indefinite_blackout_next_steps_polling_your/
In which Reddit will eject the mods and turn them back on

Ejecting the current mods, is kinda like going nuclear. It will damage the trust Redditors have in a subreddit. However, should Reddit do that, then I would imagine they will do that on a larger subreddit and a consequence of that, that news will spread like wildfire. That in turn will, most likely, cause moderator walkouts.

I know current Reddit management is acting like they are stupid. That doesn't mean that they are THAT stupid.

But that's just my 2cts.

Edit: grammar be hard yo.

Apparently they've already done it. Can't remember the sub, but they kicked a mod, made it public for a couple hours, then switched it back off. I'm assuming it'll be one of the 48 hour ones instead of the permanent ones now.

I found the subreddit on which it happened. It was /r/AdviceAnimals. Apprently /u/LegWeed got ejected. But apparently there is some SubReddit drama from that.
