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?
You must log in or register to comment.
I hope they stay up because I really dont want those boring people here. That subreddit is funny for a full minute before you realize its just the same shit being over and over again. Its a groundhog day in that place.
And join the club. Im banned there and on a local sub. Only two places ive been banned in the 12 on Reddit.
Edit: before anyone thinks its the subjects I have a problem with, its not, I actually agree a lot with opinions on that sub, I just dislike their moderation and content format.
Short blurbs of captain obvious tweets arent what im looking for online. I would go to Twitter if I want to find the politics.

In general, I can understand not wanting to join the protest, and I think I understand Reddit’s reasons for their changes (though they’ve done a shit job of communicating them).
In this specific case of r/WhitePeopleTwitter, it looks like the mods are just being dicks.

Business as usual, apparently. I once received an automod notice that I didn’t have enough karma points to post a link. (At that point I had accumulated many karma points, but not in that sub.)
So I messaged the mods and asked what the minimum was, since it wasn’t stated anywhere in the rules. The reply? “Sorry, we can’t disclose that.” Wait, what?
