Holy Reddit is now Deadit, Batman!

#reddit #hartal #strike

@makemoremusic I dunno, seeing all these subs go back online after a whopping 48 hours is pretty disappointing in the grand scheme of things.

As Reddit loves to say:
"WE DID IT, REDDIT!"

.. nothing's changed.

@PKRockin Lol, are they already coming back online? That's a colossal disappointment 🤦‍♂️

@makemoremusic Yup, some like: https://old.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/1494sa8/gaming_is_now_public/

> The mod team here has considered keeping the subreddit private to continue the protest, but we said we would close down for 48 hours and we did, therefore we need to go public to hear your comments and discussion points. We as moderators are internally discussing further actions amongst ourselves, however we will be influenced if there is a strong message coming from the sub.

Gaming is now public.

Over the past 48 hours, r/gaming has participated in the Reddit-wide blackout in protest of the API pricing changes Reddit is planning to roll...

@PKRockin Well, at least they're still discussing it all.

Best if they at least set up a parallel magazine on kbin or whatever things are called on lemmy.

@makemoremusic sorry to be this guy, but im also new to mastodon. How do I add alt text? Haha

@rave_demon No worries, Renee! Assuming by "alt text" you mean the alt text on images or something, the process should be easy enough. If it's possible. I'm actually not sure...

I just posted a picture to see if I could add alt text to it and, yes, it can be done.

STEP 1: upload a pic

STEP 2: click the pic

STEP 3: add a description you like to the pic

EDIT! The alt text shows up if you hover on the pic!
