I barely noticed the blackout. And pretty much every subreddit I use is back up and running. Blackout had next to zero impact in the short term, and I doubt it

I barely noticed the blackout. And pretty much every subreddit I use is back up and running. Blackout had next to zero impact in the short term, and I doubt it will have any lasting impact.

Man says "I ate lunch, why are people starving?"

  More like “man says I ate lunch, some people didn’t eat lunch for a few days, but now most people are back to eating lunch”. This was Occupy Wall Street all over again. A disorganized mess of a protest with no chance at making a difference.

    Occupy Wall Street changed things a lot more than people seem willing to admit. At a minimum it kept the US from going the same "austerity" direction that Europe did around the same time. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/09/how-occupy-wall-street-reshaped-america/620064/ https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/09/how-occupy...

My Reddit newsfeed is currently just r/casio, so I've been looking at lots of watches.

I mean...something like 70% of subs are private at this moment. I deleted my account before the API changes were announced but it's easy to see that most of the subs I used are still private. I'm trying to get a dedicated server running for a game I started playing and the Google searches I've been doing for answers on some of the settings all return a shitlaod of reddit results I can't access. Your experience is yours, mine is mine, but given the objective fact of how many subs are currently private, I see no reason to think your experience is typical.

  Your experience is also my experience. One should try googling anything with reddit.....most of results will be private.

Same boat. I try to follow more niche subs and unsubscribed from any of the large ones. I can't notice it from my home page. Popular has been a lot different on the other hand.
