Out of curiosity before midnight, I’ve been lurking in incognito to see what subreddits appear and I saw WhitePeopleTwitter has a long post and is choosing to stay open.

WhitePeopleTwitter shows solidarity with the current protests on reddit against the fundamental changes to site architecture.

This moderated thread will remain open for everyone to comment in.

The comments that are in-favor of a real ‘blackout’ are being deleted.

I was even banned for commenting complicity. Interested to hear people’s takes. Anyone else face a similar story or think it’s justified?

If it is a community-driven decision, up to them of course - some small communities I used to follow that are not very much connected to the rest of reddit itself have no mentions about the blackout, and I suspect most of their members are not even aware of it. If it is the moderators deciding themselves, that is a different issue - it is very interesting to follow the list of open and private subreddits in reddark!
