Moderators from popular Reddit communities say they plan to extend their blackout protests indefinitely.
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 wish there was a way we could support more.
Obviously leaving reddit has its benefits to the cause, however I'm worried if they bow down and leave everything as it was reddit will try something else in a few months. Make changes in the back end to stop it happening again preventing black outs then try their move again.
Especially if everyone goes back first.
