It’s going to be a lot harder to pull off massive protests.

It’s not like they couldn’t put a stop to blackouts before, as seen with the third-party app fiasco, but Reddit has now made that tactic entirely impossible. Mods will now need to get permission from Reddit admins before they can make a sub private. Makes me wonder if they’re about to do something controversial again soon.

I remember a couple of people on Reddit smugly saying I’d be back soon after I talked about leaving during the third party app shitshow.

I’ve never went back, so eat a bag of dicks random Reddit users!

Same. There’s been a few times I’ve needed info from reddit subs, but I’ve never interacted since. I miss some of the activity in the more niche subreddits, but I’m more productive with my time now so I guess that’s good lol
