It’s now clear that the Reddit blackout will have a significant impact on the platform, but perhaps not in the way its organizers intended..

From the article:

Meanwhile, the blackout has affected Reddit in other important ways. There’s been a small, but growing push among some power users to federated Reddit alternatives like Lemmy and kbin. These decentralized platforms are still niche, and have many of the same challenges as Mastodon and other Twitter alternatives. Yet there seems to be growing interest from some corners of Reddit in recent weeks.

    I think they got things wrong, this protest now is mostly about just fucking reddit up majorly, mods have the power to do that and if reddit mistreats them even more they likely just leave and never come back. its completely ridiculous to think that you can mistreat people that do your work because they like it and they will just bend over for you. These people have 0 legal obligations towards reddit and reddit can’t be unmoderated… Otherwise people will flood it with Child Porn.

      I think in the corporate world chefs are just used to mistreating people and they just taking it because they need the job. Obviously does not work with volunteers.
