Confused Redditor observed in the wild!

3 years ago by sparky@lemmy.pt to c/reddit

Currently on a train in the US. Noticed the guy sitting in front of me on the official Reddit app, looking at a bunch of subreddits and getting blocked by the private subs and their protest messages. Flipped around the blacked out content for a while and then gave up. It works!!!

They must not be on that much. I don’t know how you could have missed every blackout post in the last week.

Considering how many thousands of subreddits are closed down, and how many others have posts restricted but show a sticky with info, that’s quite an accomplishment!

Friend of mine didn't know about the blackout. They almost fell out of their chair when I told them. Sweet summer child...

Sadly the average person is completely oblivious, not just with reddit news but most things in general.

I am (was) active in some smaller niche subs (certain crafts, mostly) and quite a lot of users in those subs didn't know what was going on. I guess some users only use Reddit for a few specific subs, and somehow manage not to see /r/all, etc.

I checked reddit today on one of my subs and had 1 join request. Let em suffer 😜

e: Deleted reddit all the way this morning. Exclusively using lemmy

Probably on autopilot. I’ve definitely absent mindedly opened the site a few times.
