“There’s a lot of noise with this one. Among the noisiest we’ve seen. Please know that our teams are on it, and like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well,” the memo reads. “We absolutely must ship what we said we would. The only long term solution is improving our product, and in the short term we have a few upcoming critical mod tool launches we need to nail.”

In other words, the blackout is not being taken that seriously. The culling of 3rd party apps is still happening. I hope more subreddits decide to go dark indefinitely, and that Redditors keep migrating to Lemmy.

Dude called it noise, lol. Feudalist vibes.

... providing Lemmy can survive the onslaught of bots, TLAs, chudiots and other wreckers who will come if/when it gets mainstream popular.

Fair enough. I'm just going to enjoy while it lasts (hopefully forever)

I'm going to stay on beehaw where at least they require an application to join. We need smaller and more spread out communities anyway to avoid astroturfing.

The culling of 3rd party apps was the goal from the beginning of this saga.
