Many of us knew back with the firing of Victoria and Pao the sacrificial lamb, but June 12th truly sealed their fate. About forking time.
Didn’t Reddit opensource a lot of its stuff several years ago?
They may be closed now, but I think a lot was opened. There was a while when clones were becoming pretty popular.
Some of the few subs on
I still cared to visit never recovered from the blackout. Which is probably just as planned or at least a stroke of luck for the admins. 
Nothing happend at Reddit Frontpage on June 12, 2023. The so called "protests" is a hoax invented by the Lemmy devs attempting to discredit our wonderful platform. The "purge of moderators" never happened, not one single moderator was purged. And those who did get purged are
violent riotersinternet vandals. Reddit is the greatest platform ever, and Lemmy is filled with racists and spammers and ads and evil developers trying censor posts and take away user freedom. Long live CEO Spaz! May his wisdom guide us towards a better future!/s

Lol June 12 is referring to the day when the blackout began, although this post just so happens to coincide with yet another one of that shitty website's stupid decisions.
