I’m holding on to my Reddit account the same as I’m holding on to my Twitter account. I might come back to it later, if conditions change, but I’m sure as shit not contributing meaningful content on either of those platforms anymore.

Strongly fucking advise you to not do this. You have two for a good reason.

semi-unrelated but jesus christ do i miss the cheeseburger pizza at dominos

Reddit can go fuck themselves. If this is how they’re gonna behave, we might as well kill the site now before it can become further entrenched.

Beehaw leadership really seem hellbent on isolating Beehaw from the entire rest of the fediverse.

lmao

I think we should stick to our guns until Reddit capitulates. The blackout is very effective at disrupting the site’s normal functions and getting the word out about 3rd party apps.
