I poked my head in this morning after staying away a couple of days. I've been on the fence about whether this event spells the end of my time on Reddit or not. I think it does. The comments like OP shows in his meme, combined with the behavior of Spez since the blackouts - that's just not something I want to be a part of. I don't want to contribute in the smallest way to the continued dominance of Reddit in that category of social media platform.

I'll mull it over another few days, but pretty sure my main account is getting deleted this week. I have a secondary account that I might just stop using, but (due to what I use it for) am not quite sure I want to delete yet.

Probably means I need a new kbin account too, since I din't really consider whether "runningfrommreddit" was a name I'd want to potentially use for years when I set it up. 😁

I agreed with the mods in /r/gis that there should be an indefinite blackout and got downvoted. Some person even called me "fucking stupid." That place is such a toxic dumpster fire. I'm happy for kbin/lemmy.

The only message a 2 day blackout sent to the CEO of Reddit was "wait two days and everything will be normal again". Dunno why you'd do two days only to follow it up with an indefinite shutdown. Seems like a bunch of time wasted, and more confusing to redditors who just want a feed of stuff they like, making it harder to decide if they should leave for an alternative like kbin or Lemmy.
