Anyone else a little disappointed how the blackout is going? (kbin.social)

I mean don't get me wrong, its cool a lot of subs have and still are participating in the blackout, but I think it wouldve been better to link a new home for the subreddits participating somewhere in the private message. Show spez, hey if you dont change, we aren't going to use your site (or use it less).

We can only do what we can do.

I think of the 90-9-1 rule. If 10% of users leave or spend less time, there’s less content. Less content means the 90% will go elsewhere.

With something as big as Reddit it was never going to be easy, it was never going to be quick. But this will hurt them.

Don’t think about it as a war lost, think of it as a battle lost, but serious damage done.

Also don’t go back, that’s exactly what they’re betting on.

I've already deleted my account, and honestly? I don't miss Reddit. I get the sense that the migration will be a rather lengthy process, since moving entire communities of loosely associated individuals from one platform to another is inevitably going to be a tad messy and sluggish.
