I’ve heard only the briefest information about what is going on with Reddit. Is the blackout something that is temporarily being done by the community or is it permanent?

    yes, the vast majority of what people would call the “reddit OGs” have now migrated to fediverse in the last 4 years, this last reddit event pushes almost all of them to at least have an account. A number of prolific content creators are going to home here now and some will now only post fedi links on reddit if they stay at all.

    the empire has fallen, it will smolder for years if they dont go under first, thus is the case of critical mass communities. We are returning to a system that is modeled more after the way the internet was designed and built to operate based on open protocols and standards rather than gatekeeping corporations.

    its our commons again.
