Thoughts on communities refusing to "go dark?"
(beehaw.org)
Out of curiosity before midnight, I've been lurking in incognito to see what subreddits appear and I saw WhitePeopleTwitter has a long post and is choosing to stay open.
WhitePeopleTwitter shows solidarity with the current protests on reddit against the fundamental changes to site architecture.
This moderated thread will remain open for everyone to comment in.
The comments that are in-favor of a real 'blackout' are being deleted.
I was even banned for commenting complicity. Interested to hear people's takes. Anyone else face a similar story or think it's justified?
There’s some that probably should stay up - I keep reptiles and most of the subs dedicated to that hobby that I’m in are still up as they contain so much vital information for new and experienced handlers alike and it is possible that animals could come to harm if that advice isn’t easily/readily available. In the absence of a better option, I agree that subs in that nature get a pass in staying up.
I don’t really see why some meme/shitposting subs aren’t joining though. you can live without screenshots of Twitter libs being Twitter libs for 48 hours.
