They took my RiF. The CEO seems like an absolute bastard. It got more and more toxic over the years. I can take some abuse but this was a bit too much. If it continues to be popular I'll use it for information gathering just like always, but they wont get any content, interaction or ad revenue from me.

This blackout thing, while surely sending a message, will be pointless in the end imo. The bosses have decided how they want to proceed and that's that.

It ain't pointless. The message is what get me here at lemmy.

[-] starrox@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah. I meant pointless in the sense of "we as the reddit community want to change the companies business strategy shortly before an IPO".

You being brought here (same as me) through the backlash-posts is great. But unless certain highly frequented subs go dark PERMANENTLY I dont see much that could sway the reddit leadership towards a more community friendly approach.

@starrox
The point to be taken here is that you can NEVER trust for profit companies because its just a matter of time before they turn evil...and during that time, you've wasted years of effort. Time to build something new!
