So the reddit blackout happened, at least people did something, but it looks like it was mostly for naught. My main takeaway is that the blackout mostly failed. While it showed that the average user has the power to do things with cooperation, it doesn't look like there's enough to keep things going.

The admins broke most of the more popular subs into at least making them reopen. Even though they're still protesting kinda, they're redirecting traffic to the site. I think it's fair to say at this point that things keep going like this; it'll be business as usual by the month's end, even with the app shutdowns.

But I don't know. I don't know what happens to reddit, I don't know what happens to lemmy, and I want to. this is more of a rant post than anything. I need to sleep :p
