Popular subreddits plan to extend blackouts indefinitely | Engadget (www.engadget.com)

The vow to extend the demonstration came after CEO Steve Huffman reportedly sent a memo to staff saying Reddit would β€œget through it” while opining that β€œlike all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well.” In response to Huffman doubling down, a user wrote, β€œLet them fuck around and find out.”

Moderators from well-trafficked subreddits, including r/awww, r/music, r/videos, r/futurology, r/apple and r/NBA (among many others) chimed in to commit to an indefinite protest.

I wish there was a way we could support more.

Obviously leaving reddit has its benefits to the cause, however I'm worried if they bow down and leave everything as it was reddit will try something else in a few months. Make changes in the back end to stop it happening again preventing black outs then try their move again.

Especially if everyone goes back first.
