I think they lied when they said that the blackout had not impacted the bottom line, it just makes sense to say that. Admitting that the blackout was working would mean you have to roll back the change and potentially hurts the IPO launch.

Even if it's true that the blackout was ineffective I think the real test for Reddit will be what happens July 1. I for one will not be using Reddit on mobile without RIF, it's what I've been using since 2012. I'll continue to use RIF as long as it's working and I'll also use Reddit on the desktop, but my mobile usage is about the plummet.

I think a lot of people are likely in the same boat, but even if they aren't it won't matter to me.

Nah screw that I’m deleting all my Reddit accounts with Redact and full-assing Lemmy. Lemmy going to need help growing and fuck giving anything to Reddit. Half assing one of these sites won’t do it for me

Make sure to keep doublechecking if your posts are actually gone. A bunch of people are noting that they edited their posts to delete their data but now the posts are back. Reddit seems to be rolling back the content their losing.
