If Reddit Goes Dark for only 48 hours absolutely nothing is going to change, and organizing another protest is going to be quite difficult, every subreddit that actually cares about fixing the API should stay offline until a better change is offered by #Reddit
@BrodieOnLinux the short duration made it easier to convince others to join the protest, otherwise there would be a lot of subs not joining. It showed that the community can unite, to both Reddit and redditors, and set up a situation where the threat of a longer protest / permanent exodus is very real to everyone. Pretty good move imo.
@Amikke It's not like being a Reddit mods makes you money, this is purely a case of people being too addicted too reddit to actually do something that matters
@BrodieOnLinux yup, that's why an immediate long protest would've likely fizzled with too many communities not giving enough of a fuck to give up Reddit for who knows how long with who knows how much support from others. Now at least they know they're united.
