A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I am guessing their comment would be something like, "FUCK!!!!!!"
Well now they have to take over the subs and get new moderators. They won't just sit there and watch Reddit burn further.
For the 2 days private protest, their comment that it will be over soon was appropriate. As giving an exact time frame allows to know the exact end of it. They could just sit there and wait it out.
Now with the indefinite protest, they have to act. And to get to content onto Reddit again, they will probably be looking for new unpaid ~~strike breakers~~ mods for those subs, so they don't have to actually hire and pay people to moderate content on their soon publicly traded company website.
Have subs continued to stay blacked out? I have not checked it out since the first day of it.
Yes. For instance, at this time, /r/nba is still blacked out even though the NBA season ended recently, and this week would've been its prime time.
Good for them!! Did they make a lemmy instance?
No, it would've been something along the lines of "A: We are evaluating it at this time for the best approach moving forward"
