The reddit blackout was as effective as turning off the lights at night.
Well, it's a new day now and the users will be back - Just like they promised. ๐
A majority will return. But the seed has been sown now. Everything Reddit does to suppress free speech will be highlighted. Every unwarranted punishment will be seen as big brother imprinting its opinion. Reddit is now seen as the bad guy, and people love to see bad guys get their comeuppance. I for one will do my utmost to avoid reddit. I will never make an account or add content there again. I relied mostly on Reddit for political news. The UK media is terrible as we know.
That statement is eerily like what people like me said when we left reddit over a decade ago. I like your moral enthusiasm, but I think your faith in the morality of other people are misplaced.
I'll guess we'll just have to wait and see, maybe this time...
