i think the ideal course of action is to continue the blackout indifinitely. As spez said, the impact isnt that significant. 2-3 days blackout in a year is nothing. But personally, the best course of action is for the mods to agree and abandon reddit entirely and start/joined a new platform. Reddit for me is a lost cause. while Spez is the head of reddit, nothing will change.

His AMA was very disappointing and made things worse.

That's clearly just a statement put out to make the userbase look like they're unhinged and a blatant attempt to garner some sympathy.

Employees shouldn't be wearing reddit 'swag' outside because it's just incredibly tragic. Corporate branded clothing is for wearing when you're gardening, mucking out the chickens etc.

the user backlash will pass? well i hope he's wrong 😄

I saw someone wearing Rammstein "swag" while I was shopping. I mean, who cares? Reddit's employees don't have to get shamed for their asshole employer.
