I know a lot of people participated in the blackout thinking that it would be a way to get Reddit to back off of their plans or make some major concessions. I didn’t and don’t believe that will happen. There’s a small, private sub on Reddit that I’ll probably go back to, but I’m personally trying to make peace with the fact that Reddit is never going to be what I want it to be again. I was already getting fed up with the giant amount of bot posts and comments there, so for me this is more of a final straw.

Reddit can force subs to go public again or whatever, but it won’t matter if people stop posting there. I hope this place takes off and scratches the itch for me. If not, I’m sure there will be something else.
