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.

    What remains as methods of protest after this?

    Deleting your account and leaving the site. Reddit clearly doesn’t care about the users, and hasn’t for a very, very long time. Remaining there justifies their actions.

      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
