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

A private subreddit isn’t going to bubble up to the top. It’s bound to happen.

I think a better option is to let subreddits stay open and simply push their migration agenda to the top of the algorithm naturally. It might be telling their community to move to discord, fediverse, or something else.

This is probably the better solution, keeping these subreddits open but focusing on where people can migrate to and the plan going forward. If enough people migrate over and can help populate the main subreddits like news / tech / gaming, it'll make these federated sites feel more active (and in turn a more viable place for people to switch to eventually since people want to see engagement)
