Their post announcing it, has comments disabled. I have been going on reddit looking for polls to vote "yes" to continue to participate in the blackout. This was kind of a bummer.

Edit: Looking at the mods most recent post, they're still putting up a fight! And all new posts have 0 upvotes and I can't see comments from RiF anyway. Can anyone else see anything from other reddit apps?

I'd bet when the 3rd party apps are actually gone, we'll get a second wind. People haven't been forced to use the shitty app yet.

My thought too. Having every 3rd post be an ad gets old, and the realities of how shitty a platform it is will set in quick. Plus old.reddit is next. Many people in the browser still use that. The future of RES is also in question.

Can you imagine having to use new Reddit and not having RES? only thing that'll be missing is the popup that says to turn your ad blocker off...

I'm about to go on vacation until the end of the month, but I'm probably just gonna try to step away from social media in general and just read books more instead. These ghouls are just taking a note from Twitter not completely tanking after Elon did evil anti-competitive shit and figuring they can do the same, so the only way to show them otherwise is to withdraw any support or attention you give them.

I have read 3 books since the blackout. I didn't realize how much space and time Reddit was taking from me, considering I'm also using kbin and beehaw now.

What is going on? I've seen this comment five times in the thread but I go to your profile I only see one?

Not the person you're talking to, but I see the same issue with your comment (the one I'm replying to now) being duplicated, but not showing on your profile.

Probably just ongoing growth issues causing a glitch or four.
