It's just so tone deaf. And he's totally lying about users not supporting the blackout. All the subreddits I was on where the mods asked people what they wanted to do, most of the comments were in favor of keeping them dark indefinitely. The rest were agreeing to the blackout in general. I don't remember seeing a single person objecting.
He's probably relying on the fact that the numbers are now skewed in favor of people against the blackout because those of us who were pro are extricating ourselves from the site and not posting/commenting/interacting with content as much, if at all.
That's exactly what's happening, the people who are disgruntled enough have either left or maybe like me just commenting occasionally to promote lemmy. This leaves all the people who don't care. I'm hoping it's going to be a slow bleed and reddit will eventually wither.
Yeah, the thread on my city's subreddit about reopening is full of the absolute dumbest regulars and users who I'd never seen comment before complaining about the blackout being pointless.
