This past few months I've gotten into Trackmania. It really is the perfect "settle down for the evening and play with a video on the other monitor". I can just grind out records, while only needing two fingers max on my keyboard, and just enough attention.

I think there is probably a mix of things going on.
First, the angriest people already did leave.
Second, people suck at protesting. I mean, the entire reason it was a 2-day protest instead of defaulting to indefinite is because the idea of sacrificing your own habits in a protest blows people's minds. There is a reason "slacktivism" is a thing.
Third, there is probably a segment of the user base who basically got their addiction checked. Social media is addicting, and reddit is not exception, I mean, even I've kept habitually opening the site this whole week just cause that has been my browsing habit for over a decade. It's just how I've check ed news.
And then lastly, the protest reached the more casual core of people who may have not even known about the protest before hand or understood the extent of it, and they are angry that this thing that didn't affect them took away all their content.
For reasons no one can fathom
The ROM hacking community takes this personally.
ROM hacking and well, just retro development like this is awesome. I think there is something to be said about the creativity that comes with a limited canvas and so on
To be honest, 2023 has feel relatively calmer than the past few, I guess covid being that all encompassing to life. Of the things on your list I do think AI is probably the first thing that comes to mind when I think of what we are "on the brink of". This leap that happened the past couple years in LLM was shocking enough, wondering what the next couple are going to look like.
To be honest, I had such low expectations for the blackout, I'm actually surprised how much impact it did have. This was never going to be the reddit killer. There is a reason why the 1% principle exists. Most people don't care, and most people who do aren't going to actually put in the effort to change their browsing habits. It's part of why being an early member of new sites like these are the best, because the people joining are the people who are actively seeking out new communities.
Yup, exactly. Welcome to the fediverse!
There is traction, and in fact already a fix in review.
Ironically, still some issues with the federation, so we can see them but they can't see us. We're in the walls.
Ernest might have also gotten up more servers to handle the load, noticing that cloudflare is off and we are federating again (this is a beehaw thread)

/r/videos announces that it will be entering it's blackout early - and indefinitely - given recent events
(media.kbin.social)
Think this case in particular is pretty interesting. Former default subreddit and one of the largest on the site (Top 20 at least).
I think /r/videos is where we'll see how things actually play out with the reddit admins. I'm guessing at some point the admins will step in and replace the mods.
Ohh, I like zines as a shortened version
The true fear is when everything passes locally and then suddenly fails on the CICD pipeline.
I took a quick look while it was up and it was just a user guide, similar to the lemmymigration subreddit

Testing out kbin's microblog feature with this, hopefully the image is here. Just a screenshot of my seablock save. Since this point, added a basic metallurgy setup with temp green science. Now working on getting some bean fuel going before making a more serious slurry/science setup

I swear, a bunch of rich people were bored, got in a room, and decided to see who could kill a social media site
