They want Reddit to respond by June 29th.

Some of Reddit’s most popular communities have posted open letters to the company with a series of requests regarding many key issues at the heart of the recent protests on the platform. They want a response by June 29th.

    It’s way past this point now. Had reddit done this back when the shutdowns were first planned that would be one thing, but at this point they’ve demonstrated they can’t be trusted, they don’t care about their users or mods, and they’re only interested in anything they think will increase the their profit margins for the IPO. If you aren’t an investment firm they don’t give a single shit about you past whatever damage you might do to their IPO plans.

      Yep, that ship has sailed. Time for the mods to go make their own reddit, (with blackjack and affordable api) and leave that one to burn itself down.

      I’ve already moved on from Reddit. I’ve deleted all of my content and unsubbed from about half of everything I cared about. My feed is completely pruned and even then only about a quarter of it is OC not posted by bots or click bait titles.

      Plex just recently reopened it’s sub for another vote to reopen or go restricted and the amount of support to stay open is sickening. Everyone left has become so dependant on the platform that they can’t see leaving it, which is exactly what Reddit was hoping for with this.

        I was curious so I went and looked. Wow.

        They’re inconvenienced so it should all end and we should all give up.

        Really hope they’re never part of any union I’m a part of.

        Same here – I deleted my content twice. It’s still there 🤷‍♂️. My accounts are gone though!

        Also a poll at this point doesn’t make much sense since the people who are still there probably don’t care about everything that has happened so of course they’re going to vote to reopen.
