Translation: top mod sees their opportunity to be a dictator and takes it.
In a way, you could say it was a blunder by the king.
Just stand up, flip the board over and walk away
An interesting gambit.
Looks like it's time to set up shop on lemmy or kbin. Even if some of the pissed off users come over, it should be a vibrant alternative community
I'm surprised by a lot of the comments. It's frustrating that so many people just want their entertainment. They don't seem to care that Reddit is making it harder or even impossible for the people that use their personal time to keep the sub moving. It reeks of entitlement.
"Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death"
I'm not surprised. It was only a matter of time before users decided the protest was too inconvenient and getting in the way. They see the short-term impact of the protest more than they see the long-term repercussions of Reddit Inc.
Also the proportion of users who agree with the protest will continue shifting as people abandon Reddit for alternatives
It's amazing seeing this all happen in realtime. I was on the fence about deleting my reddit account in order to keep participating in the small communities that decide to stay on reddit, but I'm just how aggressive reddit admins have been with treating people who actively engage with the site.
Subreddits protesting are trying to get the message to reddit management that they don't agree. Instead of having a discussion, reddit management is just forcing their will on everyone, which causes the discenters to leave the proverbial table as they realize any there will be no discussion.
At this point, anyone who still wants to use reddit is just enabling this behavior.
I admit that 18% is a small margin, but even so, this somehow just doesn't sit well with me.
18% is a huge margin when it comes to a yes or no question. The last US presidential election to have such a margin was Reagan's 2nd term almost 40 years ago, which was seen as a complete blow out.
Edit: Especially since another 5% votes to keep restricted, which is a 2nd option of not returning to business as normal. So I'd say it was more like a 23% margin, which is enormous.
Huh. I thought Reagan was a blowout because he won 49 out of 50 states.
Didn't know about restricted. I'd be willing to round that up to 1/4th.
Haha that's what I'm saying! An 18 point margin is so big that it results in 49/50 states in the electoral college. Saying it's too close to call is really disingenuous of that one mod.
18pp isn't a small margin. 49 vs 51 is a small margin. 41 vs 59 is no contest.
18% is a huge margin in a democratic election.
En passant.
Chess anarchy better migrate too!
