I think it's interesting that subreddits and things are shutting down or going dark collectively, but I haven't heard of a concerted effort on the part of users to stage a massive "log out" and "day off" from using Reddit.
If a significant chunk of the userbase logged out and didn't use the website for a day or two, that would actually impact the bottom line. So why not organize a "users union"?
- gigel82 3y agoI use reddit exclusively though Apollo, so that will happen whether I like it or not starting June 30th... have no intention of installing the Reddit app.
- eterm 3y agoIt's mods, not users, that hold a lot of the power. The mods are small enough in number to coordinate. Indeed for many of the popular subs, the mods are all the same people since some mod mod dozens of the most popular subs. That's actually a problem, but for action like this, it's an enabler compared trying to coordinate reddit users, who are a disparate bunch.
- surgical_fire 3y ago> concerted effort These things never work. What works is if people genuinely lose interest on the service. From 2013 to 2020 I used Reddit on a daily basis. Ever since then, my hatred and mistrust for the platform only grew, and I lost interest on it. I still have RiF installed, but truth is I seldon go there to see anything. I won't even bother doing anything. I'll probably just not ever going to log back.
