@RosaMagnolie I mean, seeing as Reddit recently made some API changes that basically made third party apps impossible to use (So they can monopolize by only having one reddit app. it's kind of like a website banning every browser except for google chrome).
More hardcore reddit users took it seriously and spread the word. The mid/low-level redditors took it like a "Pride month", i.e. Nobody really cares but something's supposed to be done about it in principle, So like pride month involves sticking rainbows everywhere, what happened here was they had a "blackout", a protest where a large number, about 8000+ subreddits would be "private-only" to protest reddit's API changes.
Sounds good right? Well what these morons did is they announced that the protest would last 2 days. Absolute fucking idiocy. I mean, it's so blatant, even u/spez, the CEO said that the blackout will have no major financial impact so just buckle up for two days. Now the API changes are in effect and nobody gives a shit.
Sheer morons. Trust me, you do NOT want to hunt for their attention. I swear, if there's one platform worse than 4chan, it's reddit.
In fact, part of the reason 4chan is so bad is because of edgelord redditors thinking 4chan is "neo-nazi heaven" and being radically in favor or radically against them and, basically being unreasonable asshats all around. They've contaminated every board. /b/, /pol/, /v/, /gif/, /sci/, /a/, /bant/, /int/, /g/, /wg/, you name it.
