no wonder since most of the subs are only going offline for 2 days

I couldn't be the only one who found 2 days to be a ridiculously low time as well.

It's long enough to show impact and short enough that reddit will catch flak for replacing the mod teams.

It also lines up with the media attention span. On day 5 "reddit lost users during the blackout" will be a better headline than "blackout still going on fyi".

Yeah its weird that it's only two days, but also many are going private forever (though reddit will just replace the mods unfortunately)
