What are the chances Reddit doesn’t give a shit and just waits it out. Only gonna last till the 14th anyways.

Some subs are going “indefinite” but Admins will just replace the mods.

WhitePeopleTwitter is doing a half-assed thing that doesn’t actually do anything.

And the big “news” ones that are 100% controlled by feds (news, worldnews, politics etc) are ignoring the blackout too. No polls, no discussions, nothing. Makes sense, too. Those the ones used to push Western propaganda. Can’t let some unpaid shmucks shut it down in “protest”.

    The small niche ones only exist because they're on reddit. They used to be on web forums, and pretty much everyone agreed they suck and abandoned them. On reddit they're easy to participate in and not full of spam.

        Sure, but now we have to read through 71 iterations of exactly the same joke as the top voted comments on almost every post.

        It's because they had admins with skin in the game, instead of being the property of faceless censoring corporations.

        Yeah, I'm not saying I miss the old style of internet forums, I definitely prefer what Hexbear has been doing. I'm saying I miss there being many, many independent forums not under the control of a single media company.
