A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Just one thing, must be indefinitely not 48h, otherwise nothing will change. A year have 365 days, 48h it's a weekend, if subreddits come back after 48h it's nothing happened.
I think that stating it as 48 hours was smart. Because if subreddits start saying it's indefinite, then they have time to start replacing mods and shutting the protest down. Whereas here, 48 hours will pass. They lose a lot of money in just 2 days. And if nothing changes, you'll likely see decreased quality and/or continued protest.
I think it left room at the table for reddit to cooperate. It's a common bargaining thing.
I agree with you and I fear that is exactly what will happen.
