How much of an impact is the protest really having on Reddit?

3 years ago by mayniac to c/asklemmy

I read The Verge's latest interview with Steve Huffman here and it seems as though the Reddit blackout is having little to no effect. It also seems as though the communities at large don't really care and will probably just use the official app or don't really know there are 3rd party ones. So it seems this will pass and be mostly forgotten about.

What are your thoughts?

This incident won't be the last straw, but it will be the turning point of a slow and general decline.

Yup, it reminds me so much of Tumblr's shitty decision making right up to the porn ban.
