They must not be on that much. I don’t know how you could have missed every blackout post in the last week.
Friend of mine didn't know about the blackout. They almost fell out of their chair when I told them. Sweet summer child...
Sadly the average person is completely oblivious, not just with reddit news but most things in general.
Considering how many thousands of subreddits are closed down, and how many others have posts restricted but show a sticky with info, that’s quite an accomplishment!
I am (was) active in some smaller niche subs (certain crafts, mostly) and quite a lot of users in those subs didn't know what was going on. I guess some users only use Reddit for a few specific subs, and somehow manage not to see /r/all, etc.
I checked reddit today on one of my subs and had 1 join request. Let em suffer 😜
e: Deleted reddit all the way this morning. Exclusively using lemmy
Probably on autopilot. I’ve definitely absent mindedly opened the site a few times.
