I moderated a very small local county subreddit. It was a ghost town behind another larger county subreddit so when the blackout occurred, I just went dark. Received the same threatening dm everyone else received, then eventually removed as moderator. I suspect I have since been shadowbanned. I can’t prove it, but replies to comments made are late now and after the conversation has moved on. Vote count also sits at one for 24 hours or so. Again, pure speculation. But something is weird and reddit has definitely changed in the last year. Coinsiding with this change, the user base has become significantly younger very quickly.
Wouldn’t it be funny if there was another blackout, a day or two before the IPO?
Sadly, all of the admins with any balls (metaphorically) have long since quit the platform. All that’s left there are spineless brown-nosers.
