Some of the planned blackouts will be temporary, others plan to shut their subreddits down indefinitely in protest.

    This is like watching an incredibly slow train wreck. We know what the outcome looks like, but are (mostly) powerless to stop it unless these blackouts work.

      The blackouts won’t work, I think. Unless “working” means “some community manager will lie through his teeth to justify what the product managers decided, while not being even fully informed on the consequences of the decision.” With potentially spez coming out of the blue and saying his stupid shit, while pretending to be part of the community. “AS SNOOS WE STAND UNITED!”

      Yeah it’s like watching a drunk man confidently walk out into oncoming traffic in a moment of hubris. Everyone can see what’s about to happen except him.
