Lets hope the mega subreddits stay dark until the changes happen. I would love to see this community grow!
Yes, spez is counting on us coming back after the 48 hours. We need communities to extend the blackout indefinitely to have any real effect.
Oh, I’ll be coming back. Under old.reddit, with adblockers, to subs that didn’t blackout, and my comments aren’t going to be exactly… productive. May as well rack up a few bans before deleting the account.
So far the big ones /r/aww, /r/music, /r/videos and /r/futurology are going indefinite.
I may have ventured into r/modcoord, I’m sorry T_T On the brightside, a lot of subs are going indefinite it seems!!
Let’s hope the upcoming IPO will be a massive flop!
Even if we can’t see it immediately, I’m sure potential investors are watching this all unfold very closely. Both from what the communities can do, very quickly, to damage the “product” they are looking to buy, and the corporate response to the situation. That AMA was a colossally bad idea, and continuing to double down, in the media, isn’t going to be instilling any confidence in the money people.

No worries, Reddit – I’m fine with where I’m at atm too :)
