What if the whole "2 day blackout" was engineered to allow admins to test some new features with a protest being a convenient excuse?

That's because they're all talk. No one is going to leave reddit, even if third party apps get banned, they are too far gone into addiction.

I think some people who a 3rd party app is their only access point, might leave for good, especially if they're already on the edge of leaving.

Especially since said people use 3rd party app's accessibility features that the Reddit app doesn't have.

Unfortunately that only cleans house and eliminates the kind of users reddit doesn't want participating.

That’s the funny part. They’re all screaming at Spez for calling this a minor hiccup, but, tbh, it is. It’s barely a protest because you told them you’d be back. Not in a week, not when Spez did the right thing, but in two days. Spez ain’t stupid, he knows there won’t be an exodus, because they can’t go a full week without their fix.

If I can get that same fix on here, I absolutely will.

Kajiit has wares if you have coin. Lol

Honestly I like this place better because I’m not trying to find a topic before so many people have spammed memes and one-liners that I’ll never be heard. I feel like I’m having a conversation, and I think that’s much better than shouting into the void on Reddit where commenting on a thread after the first minute is pointless.
