Discussion 10 day update on the sitewide protests

Previous posts on this subject.


Our subreddit has spent the past 10 days private in solidarity with the on-going protest against Reddit fucking over 3rd party apps and further enshittifying. As of writing, over 2700 subreddits remain private. Others remain restricted, some are doing malicious compliance, and many more have migrated off site.

Reddit has since tripled down on their initial course. Site admins have begun measures to force communities to re-open (we've received that message too) and have begun nuking modteams. Their advertisers have taken notice as well as mainstream media outlets like the New York Times, Washington Post, Forbes, BBC, and more. Some 3rd party apps like Sync have begun working to support Fediverse alternatives like Lemmy and kbin.

The fight continues.


In the mean time, you can find us over on Beehaw. They do sign-up vetting because dipshits were spamming them, so say you're from here and they'll let you in.
