The Reddit blackout was pretty underwhelming (beehaw.org)

In the last 3 days I've been paying attention to r/all, expecting several posts about it and...

Yeah

Wasn't expecting the website to literally shut down nor to monopolize r/all, because 3rd party users are the minority, but I hoped for more than whatever this was.

At least there's a silver lining, I discovered new alternatives that have healthier communities

I never expected the site to just shut down and be in flames from a 2 day partial shut down. I'm pretty happy with the communities that have popped up and discussion about alternative sites.

There's been a heap of discussion on alternatives and without the blackout I wouldn't of even found great sites like kbin.

I expect that come the 1st July when third party apps stop working, we'll get another wave of annoyance and hopefully can use that to help people flee

I know that come the 1st if nothing has changed I'll be purging all my old comments and deleting my accounts.
