I am hoping subs go indefinite or stop moderation altogether, which might do more than just going dark. Seems like not much has changed with the 48 hour protest

MODERATORS
A moderation strike sounds like a brilliant idea.
They should direct people to the lemmy gaming community
Reddit has been banning users and/or communities that redirect others to Lemmy.
Of course they would do that
I didn't get banned but my post with a link to a Lemmy community was delisted without being removed within 10 min and the sub mods had no knowledge of it and couldn't view it to approve it.
And every single reply to that post is telling them go back to private indefinitely. Love to see it.
I knew they would eventually start removing mods from the top subreddits but man... Hope some other subs reopen and close again If the respective communities don't mind
2 Days is nothing, a week is something, a month is better. 2 Days is nothing but a blip or a little bit of noise, even the CEO's statement sent to employees made it out to be nothing. Honestly, the blackout should have been a month long thing and should have been announced as a month long. And even then, a month might not be long enough.
My biggest qualm so far with the blackout is how useless Google has become when searching for information on something, it's become a glorified Reddit search engine, which in itself is terrifying that so much technical information is confined to a singular place.
I agree with @RisingGrace@lemmy.world, it needs to be indefinite for Reddit to actually feel pain. 48 hours does nothing. We all know no matter what Reddit won't change the API pricing, so to make it actually effective, it should be indefinite AT LEAST until Reddit goes public. That's where they will truly feel the pain
Every sub should go offline indefinitely. There is no point in allowing discussing on reddits server as that will only generate views for Reddit.
