On: The Reddit blackout will continue

[seydor]

it's always like that -- reddit users always like drama so i did not expect they would vote otherwise. i think the whole idea is bad though

Reddit has much bigger problems to solve. First and foremost, that users have no recourse from moderation abuses, and this is killing the community more than the API changes.

If the people voted for it, how are the mods holding them hostage? Both the mods and the people want it.

voted for 2 days, right?

[Timon3 → seydor]

Initially yes, but multiple communities made new polls for the continued blackout.

Example?

Looking at the comments in this thread it doesn't feel like a democratic decision: https://old.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/148xygd/rstarwars...

How? They were offline

None of the subs i know did

They went public and then private.

You hand-waved the response that users voted for this, and then simply repeated the (seemingly wrong) stance that mods are forcing this in anyone.

Not participating in subreddits with crappy moderators seems like pretty good recourse?
