Already deleted all my reddit accounts and uninstalled Joey (TPA). I'll be honest and say that I won't completely stop going to reddit, but it will be pretty rare and just as a spectator. I won't be participating anymore. There's just too much information there right now and there are some subs i follow that probably won't migrate here.
We should move. Even if we did a longer blackout, the admins can just replace the mods of the bigger subs and ignore the smaller ones. Even if the blackout is effective, they will pull something like this again.
I've lost trust in them. I'm not going back except maybe for information if I really need to.
I mean, reddit's CEO used to mod that sub. Reddit and redditors were still fine after it blew up. Why are there different standards? The sub may have been banned already, but I doubt spez has changed much. Reddit admins have gotten away with a lot like editing comments, refusing to ban certain subs until there was media coverage, etc. Personally, I haven't encountered any censorship due to political affiliations (yet). And if it happes, I'll change instances.
They don't control the fediverse just as much as they can't control which instance I join/create.
