Vladimir #Putin is reaping what he has sown for so long. #Rostov appears to be only the beginning!

Let's hope better things for #Russia and the world come out of this internal conflict.

Well, at least Reddit has admitted their "we're not trying to be like Twitter/Elon" stuff was false
It's a real shame that Reddit seems to care this little about the community that rather than making an effort to talk to developers and moderators and apologize for how this was handled, they'd rather just wall themselves off and and dare users to keep going. https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/13/23759559/reddit-internal-memo-api-pricing-changes-steve-huffman
Reddit CEO tells employees that subreddit blackout ‘will pass’

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman says in an internal memo that the latest protest over API changes “will pass.” He also warned employees about wearing Reddit items in public.

The Verge

Advance, the company that controls Reddit, would be wise to replace the CEO whose mismanagement and arrogance has led moderators of thousands of subreddits to go private in protest.

Put someone in place who realizes that the communities made the service in every way that matters.

Maybe Advance is hoping the protestors will go weak-kneed (as so many people on Twitter have done, sadly) and return.

Moderators, please, please don't back down on this. Stay dark.

(Corrected re extent of strike..)

People say "you can't put the genie back in the bottle", but the bottle is where the genie lives, they go back in their bottles all the time.
People are thinking of ketchup.
Ketchup is what you can't put back in the bottle.
Twitter learned, and Reddit is fast learning, that people are not addicted to the platform, they’re addicted to the community they found there. Ruin the community, and people will leave the platform. It really is that simple.
As the subreddit blackout begins, I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to the Reddit community and everyone standing up ❤️ Let's hope Reddit listens. https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/147a8xb/as_the_subreddit_blackout_begins_i_wanted_to_say/

Hey all, Watching many subreddits go dark for tomorrow's blackout and before I log out, I just wanted to say it's been so incredibly amazing...
