"The blackout didn't affect us at all."
"If you don't unblackout we're going to start removing moderators and taking over subreddits."
I think, maybe, the blackout hurt them. If it goes on for longer then ad buyers will shift their money to other platforms.
My guess is that this was the plan all along - move fast so mods are forced to pick a side and sadly I think many will stick with reddit.
I wonder if this is targeted at mods where perhaps the subs are open, but the mods are not actively performing their duties as a form of protest.
Interesting since there was an article, like yesterday, of Reddit saying they weren't going to remove mods. I guess its time to make an aged like milk community here on Lemmy if there isn't already one.
Some have re-opened and just changed the rules so that posts are basically spam. Like r/pics is only John Oliver looking sexy. They're technically not closed, but just as worthless to Reddit from a content perspective.
