by David Redmond Reddit is a platform used by millions to connect with like-minded people each day. In recent weeks though there’s been controversy on the platform, resulting in a massive protest where many subreddits went dark. One of the subs protesting was r/Blind which went offline for the first time in its ten-year history

Could of mentioned that r/blind moderators are working on Lemmy instance.

It's too bad they decided to memorialize the name "r/blind" containing the "r" in their domain, but I can understand why.

It's sort of surprised they were able to get the Rblind.com domain.

No way they would've been able to get blind.com. So domain wise it makes sense.

Indeed. You would have expected it to have been occupied by a domain squatter or something.

They also have ourblind.com which currently only points to their Discord. They are planning to use that as landing page to their Reddit, Lemmy and Discord communities.
