Out of curiosity before midnight, I’ve been lurking in incognito to see what subreddits appear and I saw WhitePeopleTwitter has a long post and is choosing to stay open.

WhitePeopleTwitter shows solidarity with the current protests on reddit against the fundamental changes to site architecture.

This moderated thread will remain open for everyone to comment in.

The comments that are in-favor of a real ‘blackout’ are being deleted.

I was even banned for commenting complicity. Interested to hear people’s takes. Anyone else face a similar story or think it’s justified?

    I hope they stay up because I really dont want those boring people here. That subreddit is funny for a full minute before you realize its just the same shit being over and over again. Its a groundhog day in that place.

    And join the club. Im banned there and on a local sub. Only two places ive been banned in the 12 on Reddit.

    Edit: before anyone thinks its the subjects I have a problem with, its not, I actually agree a lot with opinions on that sub, I just dislike their moderation and content format.

    Short blurbs of captain obvious tweets arent what im looking for online. I would go to Twitter if I want to find the politics.

      While I don’t share the same sentiment on the migration of users, you made a good point on the content. Most of the posts are just screenshots of tweets with a “funny” joke/caption as the title. There are even screenshots of replies of replies to a tweet. And they don’t even link back to the actual tweet!

        “discount Steven Spielberg”

        Why do I think I immediately know who you are talking about, lol. I barely visit WPT either. The guy is just that prolific.
