He’s right, it will. And that’s the problem.
A two day blackout means nothing to Spez and Reddit. What it tells them is “we can treat the userbase and developers like shit and they’ll still use our platform for the other 363 days of the year”.
The only thing that will force Reddit to the negotiating table is blacking out indefinitely. Not a single protesting subreddit opens back up until they realise what made the company so attractive to investors in the first place.
Fine. Let him have the place. The experience here on Lemmy has been vastly superior anyway. Engagement is 1,000x better. It’s night and day how much kinder, thoughtful, and intelligent people here have been.
If that happens, they will take action against those subs. There are a lot of people willing to participate on Reddit.
