Out of curiosity before midnight, I’ve been lurking in incognito to see what subreddits appear and I saw WhitePeopleTwitter has a long post and is choosing to stay open.

WhitePeopleTwitter shows solidarity with the current protests on reddit against the fundamental changes to site architecture.

This moderated thread will remain open for everyone to comment in.

The comments that are in-favor of a real ‘blackout’ are being deleted.

I was even banned for commenting complicity. Interested to hear people’s takes. Anyone else face a similar story or think it’s justified?

    I feel like everyone needs to get together and protest by going dark. It’s not just about people using a third party because it makes them happy. There are real issues with how Reddit is handling itself and their lack of accessibility features is deplorable. I know they said they’re going to offer exemptions to apps that do accessibility but I have no hope they mean it.

      With the trend that’s following, I also don’t think they’ll ever give exemptions to apps. It’s clear that the CEO is envious of 3rd party apps being sustainable and usability will surely gravitate more people towards said apps. And then the cycle continues.
