HD-DVD encryption crack was published on Digg, and censored. Digg community got creative and kept exercising free speech (mugs with the encryption key on it and other types of posts with the encryption key somehow embedded in the content of the posts). https://yro.slashdot.org/story/07/05/02/0235228/diggcom-attempts-to-suppress-hd-dvd-revolt This old article from Slashdot sums it up, while the comments have a lot in common with the current Reddit controversy. History is repeating itself...

Good! He can make it easier for people to transition off Reddit!
Subs that are coming up with creative ways to protest is everything that is right with the internet. I hope more of them continue to make Lemmy/Kbin their new home. A lot of these mods are showing their true dedication and it's only deepening my appreciation for what we had (before Reddit irrecoverably broke itself). We seem to be in the bust of the social media boom/bust cycle. looking forward to things growing around here!
