MODERATORS
Even if we forget about advertising, 48 hours is just not enough to achieve anything and might actually be worse than no blackout at all if people want to see change. Louis Rossmann made some great points about that in his latest video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U06rCBIKM5M
It made more sense when it was just about building awareness. We're well past that point, management is aware. We got our "take it or leave it" answer from spez.
This is the sad truth. I honestly can't wait until Spez finds out that his glorified RSS feed isn't worth as much as he thought it was come the IPO. One of their investors already got the memo.
a lot of people will probably just not return, if the lemmy communities stay active enough
I think subs will go dark longer than 48 hours, or at least I hope so.
I'm sure that lots of moderators want to protest until third party apps are saved, but at the same time they like too much their subreddit's community to risk it to be banned/to risk their place as mods.
I agree. Everything I have seen so far has been pretty generous and has left some part of the bridge intact. But there's a very good chance many subs will stay dark when nothing changes.
