After Reddit's beyond-arrogant CEO dismissed the subreddit blackout as just posturing, moderators of discussions extended the blackout. This is the only sensible response to the company's contempt.

Please stay the course.

For my part, I'm canceling my Reddit account and looking at decentralized alternatives.

Reddit communities with millions of followers plan to extend the blackout indefinitely

Moderators of many Reddit communities are pledging to keep their subreddits private or restricted indefinitely. In response to a Tuesday post on the r/ModCoord subreddit, users are chiming in to say that their subreddits will remain dark past Wednesday.

@dangillmor Before canceling your account, remember to use a tool to purge every single post / comments you made and export it to repost it on the alternative of your choice.

Our posts / comments are what make Reddit valuable, if you’re looking for information usually your search engine will lead you to a Reddit post.

To be effective, the only way is to salt the earth before leaving so alternatives like #kbin or #lemmy can shine brighter.

@milo @dangillmor I used Power Delete Suite but there are plenty of other options.
