Popular subreddits plan to extend blackouts indefinitely | Engadget

The vow to extend the demonstration came after CEO Steve Huffman reportedly sent a memo to staff saying Reddit would “get through it” while opining that “like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well.” In response to Huffman doubling down, a user wrote, “Let them fuck around and find out.”

Moderators from well-trafficked subreddits, including r/awww, r/music, r/videos, r/futurology, r/apple and r/NBA (among many others) chimed in to commit to an indefinite protest.

I imagine a lot of them were Apollo users, who are upset about the loss of their app and the way Reddit has treated its creator.

As someone who used reddits app for a bit on apple and Android, the apple version felt like a special kind of shitty.

Apollo was really clean too.

Joey was my shit though, hope he makes one for Lemmy.

A lot of the ones that aren't were probably alien blue users before that too.
