Is there any feedback of the current blackout? Feels like everything will be over soon and it's going on like before. (lemmy.world)

I just saw this, highlighting my own

"In an internal memo sent Monday afternoon to Reddit staff, CEO Steve Huffman addressed the recent blowback directed at the company, telling employees to block out the “noise” and that the ongoing blackout of thousands of subreddits will eventually pass."

It's so nice of Stevie boy to refer to his userbase as "noise". Proof of how little he values the people who use his corner of the internet. Hopefully this wording of his will show how little he thinks of everyone.

Good point, I do wonder what % of userbase are in support of these protest and what % don't care? Seems like ~100k has joined these fediverse alternatives out of reddit's 50,000,000 daily active users 0.2% if my tired maths hasn't failed me.

Not that I want the same userbase as reddit, far from it...

My 50pence is that what reddit has fucked up is their monopoly on where these communities reside.

What really matters is the mods and users that submit quality content. A million lurkers don't really contribute.
