That sucks. But the blackout has been horrible from a user standpoint.

There's a wealth of helpful information on Reddit that's just been obliterated from the internet now. Half the time when I'm searching for a solution for something I don't even click on Reddit anymore.

Hey. Will you look at that. Any interest in reddit just disappeared. Gg spez.

Biggie knew. Treat everything like it’s your first day because nothing is guaranteed.

Off topic, who owns/runs the servers here and how does it make money? I'm new I'm curious.

similar to old usenet and fidonet, volunteers, there have always been people happy to help run hardware and help make the commons a thing. people were lured away from the gardens and parks by digital theme parks and shopping malls, where the users become customers.

people wonder "how can it possibly work"

email works great! same concept.

Are Reddit admins the sub owners or Reddit employees?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

Admins are employees. The people running the subs are mods. There aren't even 1% of enough admins to moderate the subreddits, but there are enough to police the moderation stances of the large subs.

It was sort of expected, unfortunately. Let's see if they keep doing it to other subs and how things will go if they keep removing mods.

Sad to see all of this happening

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

This was inevitable, unfortunately.
