Currently on a train in the US. Noticed the guy sitting in front of me on the official Reddit app, looking at a bunch of subreddits and getting blocked by the private subs and their protest messages. Flipped around the blacked out content for a while and then gave up. It works!!!
I did it guys. I officially moved Reddit is Fun out of my home buttons on my phone and replaced it with Jerboa for Lemmy. Clicking that button is muscle memory. I’ve opened it like 10 times today on accident.
/r/outoftheloop stayed open but locked with a sticky about the blackout. Hopefully that’ll help some people
IIRC they announced they would stay open specifically so people could ask about the blackout.
Eli5 is up too. They put a message up in solidarity but didn’t actually shut down. There’s a lot of very confused people in there asking questions.
Honestly that’s probably for the best.
Go up to him, whisper “the narwhal bacons again”, and slip him a piece of paper with https://join-lemmy.org/ on it.
Approach in a trench coat and fedora - “Eyy kid. You’s ever hoid of da Fedivoise?”
They must not be on that much. I don’t know how you could have missed every blackout post in the last week.

Considering how many thousands of subreddits are closed down, and how many others have posts restricted but show a sticky with info, that’s quite an accomplishment!
