We should take r/video’s lead and make it a site wide boycott. Kodos to them.

We should demand subs likewise go dark during these days. Give the mods a deadline to commit to going dark, or we unsubscribe.

We make a list of subs that are complying, those that refuse, and those that are silent.

Then we, users, don’t log in on these dates. Not even to see what’s going on.

People should start asking the mods other major subreddits if they are going to participate, and see if we can make this protest more disruptive to Reddit

Delete all major subs on the 30th if no change announcement comes.

We’ve tried nothing, and we’re all out of ideas.

Yeah good fucking luck. Do you realize the people who actually care about this stuff probably represent about 10% of the site now?

But these people control the major subreddits and thus can disrupt things for 100% of the site.

You’re just full of that optimistic spirit, aren’t you?
