does that site suggest there was no down turn in comments or posts based on the graph on the right?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It was definitely lower on Monday and Tuesday.

[–] ShootBANGdang 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s a dent for sure. I wonder how much more effective it would’ve been if the plan was for a week, or longer.

[–] ZeroDrek 47 points 2 years ago (3 children)

The fact that it was for only 2 days to begin with is a joke. That’s now how a strike works.

[–] dystop 14 points 2 years ago

yeah a 2 day strike is nothing lol

[–] gmmxle 9 points 2 years ago

Yeah. Unless you already have a negotiation framework in place, it's probably a bad idea to announce how long you want to go on strike at the outset of a strike.

It's just signalling to the other side how long they have to wait you out.

I think if they said from the start it was indefinite Reddit Inc. Would have implemented plans to manually open them back up from the get go and no real splash would have been made. Saying 2 days reddit decided to sit back and wait, now the world is watching if they manually force subs open by replacing mods.

[–] Ech 14 points 2 years ago

Lowered by roughly 15%. Not huge, but noticeable.

[–] Apoidea 8 points 2 years ago

So most of the big subs are still private, am I reading that right? That's a relief. I thought most gave up at the 2 day mark.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I wonder which Is more accurate, that one or

Reddark.untone.uk

Reddark is still saying there are 3.7K subreddits still either closed or restricted.

Beat me to the punch. This is only starting

[–] wheresyourshoe 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm curious what comes next. I already quit Reddit, but I'm still invested in the outcome. I spent well over a decade on Reddit, so I wanna know how this plays out. I'm really loving the Lemmy community, and I don't plan on going back to Reddit (won't say never, cuz if they backpedal and make appropriate changes I'd be willing to go back for some things, but it'll never be at my old usage rates).

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom 9 points 2 years ago

Same here. I was on reddit for 11 years and carved out a comfy niche. If they backpedal I'll go back for the smaller communities I was active in. But like you I won't be using it nearly as much. Lemmy's pretty neat and I'd like to see where it goes

[–] Yreska 37 points 2 years ago (2 children)

r/pettyrevenge was also private for one hour lmao

[–] dystop 13 points 2 years ago

So prorevenge should have been private for a month? Lol

[–] solivine 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I wonder why so many are struggling to commit

[–] smokinjoe 10 points 2 years ago

a lack of solidarity online

[–] Guy_Fieris_Hair 3 points 2 years ago

Because there are a bunch of mindless users on reddit that do not care about this whole thing. They aren't useful members, just content consumers. But they are loud, and mad at the mods right now.

[–] Zerlyna 35 points 2 years ago

So glad to see so many I’ve subscribed to on this list!

[–] Bretzel 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They are restricted instead of private. I think that means people can still view them but not post or comment.

[–] nephs 18 points 2 years ago

I was expecting to see it coming back online after a few minutes, given the name of the sub.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

I truly cannot think of a more poetic note to go out on. Welcome.

[–] Reliant1087 16 points 2 years ago

This is a true meta moment!

[–] Urist 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not even close to r/travel's pathetic blackout

[–] Evil 5 points 2 years ago

or TrueOffMyChest's

[–] Evil 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Something interesting I noticed here is that less NSFW subreddits have gone on blackout, BUT most nsfw subreddits are still in blackout instead of only lasting 2 days, which is cool

[–] Guy_Fieris_Hair 5 points 2 years ago

I think the NSFW subs are really getting fucked (hehe). The mod tools are really needed by them AND NSFW content is specifically being removed from the api.
