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!!!
You must log in or # to comment.
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…
Go up to him, whisper “the narwhal bacons again”, and slip him a piece of paper with https://join-lemmy.org/ on it.
Approach in a trench coat and fedora - “Eyy kid. You’s ever hoid of da Fedivoise?”
this just brought back memories of better times.
I rat-brained and clicked my shortcut (now deleted) and actually got the “UH OH REDDIT IS DOWN AND IT’S YOUR FAULT, JERK” picture a couple times, rofl. Seems like they’re getting ddosed too, or y’know regular shitty reddit responding to any traffic
/r/outoftheloop stayed open but locked with a sticky about the blackout. Hopefully that’ll help some people
Honestly that’s probably for the best.
