You can tell the landscape is seriously shifting at reddit because of the drastic change in user opinion just in the last week. Subreddits that were overwhelmingly in favor of the blackout last week have suddenly shifted to seem drastically against it. Is this a sign anyone actually changed their minds? No, it’s just the opposite: most of us dissenters packed up our shit and left.
I’m disappointed in some of the specific game subs I’ve been a part of staying open in the name of “but the community and resources are all established here” (#Rimworld) or those who aren’t even talking about it (#GenshinImpact, #TearsOfThemis). I’d really like to create some of these over here to get the ball rolling, but I know moderation is not a task to be underestimated; I KNOW I don’t really have a suitable personality for it, plus I have my hands full with other projects.
