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

My pipe dream is, instead of a black out, all the users come together and spam NSFW content on all the major subs to hopefully piss off their advertisers. Collaboration on that scale will probably never happen though.
If you really want to hit them, just make a concerted effort to request GDPR data for your user. It’s perfectly legal, it costs them time and money, and it may also actually benefit you to know what kind of data reddit collects about you.
At some point, it may even become a nice tool, say if someone creates a way to import that data into e.g. the fediverse or tilde or something similar.
For anyone interested, this is the page: https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request. Just log in, select GDPR and request data for your “full time at Reddit”.
Doing it now, what a beautiful suggestion, kind stranger
Great Idea. This needs to be communicated everywhere, non only on the fediverse, but reddit protest announcements as well!
