poopy stupid website dumb dot com

Suspicious but it could just be posts aging out.
That’s not how reddit normally works, they are aging out VERY fast for the amount of upvotes they have
I just went and looked and the posts from about 13 hours ago are down to page 3 of hot, while the posts from almost 24 hours ago are just about gone. That is pretty much exactly how you’d expect them to age out. If people want these posts to stay on the front page, new posts need to be made
ELI5’s post is still showing there
I went through that thread before everything went dark, the sentiment in there was very anti-protest and pro-reddit. I’m pretty sure I saw an upvoted comment saying bad things about the Apollo dev.
I couldn’t tell if people were genuine or if there was some manipulation going on in the thread by admins or otherwise.
I hope things have turned around in there, but knowing the hivemind effect it probably hasn’t.
To be fair, if people are properly protesting, the only people who would be checking reddit to respond to that thread are
-
People who don’t know
-
People who didn’t agree with it
I wouldn’t even know the thread exists because I haven’t had reddit open on any tabs.
edit: will say there could be exceptions to that, but that’s just the general idea
A lot of those subs went private now so they might’ve gotten knocked off anyway. My guess is the algorithm doesn’t favour private subreddits. Not saying that it couldn’t have been removed deliberately either, but this might be the simple explanation.
lets be honest, reddit is a literal joke at this point
