r/pics, gifs, among others are voting on whether to return to normal operation. As lots of people supporting the black out aren't using Reddit at the moment the voting is currently going in favour of returning to normal

I fear that nothing will change after all. There are too many users who sadly don't give a shit. They just want their stuff to work right now and don't think about the broader picture.

Reddit will be fine after this. We cannot stop it. We are probably not enough.

Probably not, but at least they're trying something. r/pics is full of sexy John Oliver pics right now and I find that hilarious.

Plus all this fallout has definitely brought some people over to Lemmy, I have been a lurker on Reddit of ~7 years, always seemed too busy to comment on Reddit, anything worth saying had already been said. I feel like I have a voice here and will be staying. Hopefully overs feel the same.

Bonus pic of sexy John oliver I spent waaaay too long editing together not to share here too 🤣
