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 the minute sync goes, my account will go. For now, I'm avoiding the site.

@cloaker you've only got until the end of the month (unless they reduce the API cost). Apollo, RIF, bacon reader, Narwhal... the list goes on. They've all announced their imminent closure. Crying shame with sync as they finally (finally) updated their UI and it rocks on tablet - I love it.

@cloaker Christian from Apollo had an impromptu AMA with Ryan from sync before the site went dark - such decent guys who genuinely do it for the right reasons. The convo was so wholesome
