the blackout is like if a union went on strike but agreed to come back to work in two days regardless of whether any of their demands were met. it's hard to see this affecting reddit at all tbh
Yeah, major miscommunication to say that it was lasting 48 hours. I will say it's kinda weird that was the initial plan for the blackout instead of just indefinitely. Some subreddits were going dark until the demands were met, but it confused a lot of people.
