I mean, there had been news about reddit forcibly removing mods and making private subreddits go public again, so I don't know how many of the subs actually left the protest.

Some just opened to ask the users if they should close again, too.

What users? I have not been on Reddit at all this week.

Other than going on to see how empty My feed is due to the blackout.

If any Reddit mods see this. I vote in favor of total Black with a message redirecting users to a new lemmy commmunity.

The lemmy iOS apps may still be in early beta, but they are better than the official Reddit app.

Right. I don't think spez realizes that most of the blacked out communities themselves actually support the black outs. A lot of them had votes on the matter. They had healthy discussion about it. These mods are not overruling their communities.
