It kinda stinks that within the same post we see a call to leave Reddit but also a list of Reddit links…
Says a lot about the hold Reddit know they have on a large portion of the internet’s information.
I really want us to be able to move on from Reddit, but it’s gonna be very difficult and uncomfortable to make that adjustment.
Heard. I consider the Reddit blackout a mix of labor unionism and anti-corporate overlord behavior, and I absolutely love to be a part of it! Change takes effort, time, and inconvenience. My seven year old Reddit account with 26k karma has been deleted, along with a portion of my small business income that came from posting to Reddit. There is only one right or power that is absolutely unalienable: the right to say "no" and take the consequences. Exercise it.

We are taking the memes of production for ourselves, comrade.
Hell yeah! I feel the same way! We have to be the change we want to see in the world, even when it comes to something as seemingly trivial as social media.
Hoping your business can recover that through other means, but it says a lot about your convictions to be ready and able to take that hit.

We should implement a rule that if you include a reddit link in your post, you also have to provide a Screenshot of it for the people who don't want to give reddit any more clicks than necessary.
I don't understand how the links are even related. All I missing something?
I’m not sure tbh, I won’t click them because I don’t want to give Reddit the traffic and clicks.
Seriously this is really weird. Feels like a bot post almost.
It will take time for reddit to become irrelevant. In the meantime, it's a reddit conflict. Of course it will play out on reddit. That also contributes to the people who have the most stake in the conflict - reddit users - to be exposed to the details of the conflict.
As we approach July I think it's best we stop focusing on Reddit. Just let it slowly drown and instead work on making this place the community we know it can be.
I don't care about hurting reddit. I care about being somewhere better. Here we are.
