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'm curious to hear from reddit employees what the mood is like internally.

I am alsot wondering. I have a feeling that most devs are silently supporting the protest. Also, aren't the leak led memos of Spez suggesting that there are people there sympathetic to the cause?
