I read The Verge’s latest interview with Steve Huffman here and it seems as though the Reddit blackout is having little to no effect. It also seems as though the communities at large don’t really care and will probably just use the official app or don’t really know there are 3rd party ones. So it seems this will pass and be mostly forgotten about.

What are your thoughts?

    We won’t know until early July.

    The protests aren’t over yet, and Reddit is beginning to make demands to open up subs. You’re beginning to see cracks in the system.

    I don’t think Reddit will change its mind, but I can see a lot of churn happening in subs happening based on those that are protesting and subs that aren’t.

    This could be Reddit’s Digg moment, but it is going to play out a lot slower and we’ll probably start seeing Lemmy posts on Reddit.
