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?
In general, I can understand not wanting to join the protest, and I think I understand Reddit's reasons for their changes (though they've done a shit job of communicating them).
In this specific case of r/WhitePeopleTwitter, it looks like the mods are just being dicks.
Business as usual, apparently. I once received an automod notice that I didn't have enough karma points to post a link. (At that point I had accumulated many karma points, but not in that sub.)
So I messaged the mods and asked what the minimum was, since it wasn't stated anywhere in the rules. The reply? "Sorry, we can't disclose that." Wait, what?
