Is the permanent blackout a scheduled thing, or is it because all the apps will go down?

[–] HooptyDooDooMeister@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Scheduled. It will function exactly how it's functioning right now.

I can't wait for the reddit servers to shit themselves again.

Or we could fill the whole site with porn and gore as soon Reddit goes public to decrease shareholder value.

[–] kevinbacon@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Ok, somewhat more radical element on lemmy it seems

[–] brownbreadboy@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’m hope this is true! Any sources?

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Huh? Whats the news regarding that next wave?

Can you summarize for those of us who don’t want to step into that site again for now?

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Heck yeah. Thanks for the link.

First time I hear about the second wave. In any case, fuck u/Spez

[–] manitcor@lemmy.intai.tech 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

considering the doubling down I think the number of communities committing to a perm blackout starting now is increasing as well.

[–] semperverus@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's not much but I put /r/switchroot on lockdown and don't know when I'm gonna bring it back up

[–] HooptyDooDooMeister@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It takes a drop to make an ocean. Thank you for doing your part.

Please I hope it continues I really love lemmy and jerboa is improving so much so fast these days thanks to accrued interest.

I know some people here would prefer for things to remain quiet but the potential of the fediverse is really under used let's grow this place and then fix the new problems that will come.

Now that we moved off from reddit, can we stop with this sarcastic uppercase lowercase way of writing? I automatically skip any title written like that. It just takes so much cognitive effort to read

[–] sombrero@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

it's not a reddit thing
