Reddit is now filled with a bunch of people saying “we don’t even NEED mods! they just make everything worse!”, because this is apparently their first time on the Internet.
The people that cared distanced themselves already so a new majority of indifference starts to emerge. Those that are still active on Reddit are now more likely to just want things back to normal.
Either only the scabs are left, or there’s a concerted smear campaign against the mods who helped with the blackout. I lean towards the latter, but it’s probably both.

What tf is going on over there I’ve not been to Reddit since the 11th

I had a Hacker News discussion where in separate comments, a guy said:
Internet discourse in a nutshell
I think we talked to the same guy
@NoIWontPickaName
@Raji_Lev @Casmael @zedtronic @JoeCoT
Chances are good that it was separate dudes. This is not an uncommon thought loop.
Aw… I went and made myself sad.
@dismalnow do we have to tag people here for them to see replies?
I’ve been getting notified of replies even when I don’t get tagged
@Raji_Lev
@Casmael @zedtronic @JoeCoT @NoIWontPickaName
Likewise. They pop in the notifications for kbin mags and lemmy, too.
@'s autopopulate in replies using kbin’s webapp, though.
Weird, I am only getting tags on kbin right now
@zedtronic
@Raji_Lev @Casmael
Yeah. My tendencies are pretty tame anymore, and my inner troll just started salivating.
Right now some guy is typing “COMMENCE OPERATION ASS FUCK” into some fucked up window
Me either. It feels good.
Same. It really does
Ditto!

Well, yeah, there’s definitely going to be a new “normal” for Reddit.

There’s a lot of upset users who had no idea that a protest had been planned for weeks ahead of time or that the protests made the news.
They just showed up looking for their content, and having it cut off is like when your heroin supplier leaves town.
I talked to some kid who was furious he couldn’t see r/starwars.
And he blamed it all on the mods.
When I explained the whole history of what was happening, he said he supported the protest but wanted to subs to go public again.
:/
I only went over today cause a couple of the subs I frequent had temporarily opened to ask “Should we stay blacked out?”
Not planning to make that mistake again anytime soon
