    r/programmerhumour announced they would go privately indefinitely cause of this. Here’s hoping a lot more subreddits join in, and hoping u/spez regrets every dumb decision he’s made in the pasts few months.

      I never understood why they decided to come back Wednesday to begin with. Protests don’t work when you schedule an end date.

        It’s a lower barrier to entry. It’s much easier to get people/subreddit to join the protest if they know it’s limited in time.

        Then once they started the protest it’s easier to extend it indefinitely.

        Exactly. It’s like saying you’re going to go on strike for two days and then come back. Like, the employer will just feel more validated in their actions if you do that.

      Digging in their heels like this just convinces me that I made the right decision as soon as Christian Selig went public with his post. This goes way deeper than just them not listening to moderators and app developers. The CEO of Reddit is willing to kill the platform if we don’t get in line—fuck spez. I hope reddit dies a thousand deaths a day as people migrate to the fediverse that fits them best.
