Hugh mistake by whoever started the protest to have an end date for it. Now only a fraction of the ~8000 subs that planned to go blackout indefinitely has remained private. The protest has achieved nothing and Reddit will continue doing its things. Not to disregard the efforts but this is definitely not the right way to protest.
I’m kind-of hoping there’s some degree of spooling up to be going on. People learning Lemmy, people becoming comfortable in a ‘new’ community, people starting to be talkative again.
