Reddit CEO tells employees that subreddit blackout “will pass”

“We absolutely must ship what we said we would.”

Spez, and Reddit as a whole is basically counting on most subreddits opening back up tomorrow after the 48-hour period.

Really hope that mods can hold out for longer, make them really panic.

      Wait until he starts retroactively editing posts and/or deleting and shadowbanning against mutinous mods. I really hope the blackout keeps rolling a week or two and they see their ad rev and user impressions tank.

      Spez already said they aren’t changing their minds. And by the time the realize they might want to, it’s going to be too late.

        I posted about kbin.social in a comment thread from RIF and saw my comment posted, but when I checked under my profile the next day, the comment was gone. Not deleted by mods or reddit…just gone, like it never existed.

        This was shortly after reddit banned the kbin subreddit for “spamming”.

        First time something like that has ever happened in the 10+ years I’ve been on there. Pretty much cemented my decision to stay away unless major changes happen.
