The protest/blackout is ongoing, new things like the decision to remove protesting moderators and the interviews on CNN are happening each day, and it still feels like Reddit’s future is in limbo. Like with any relationship that lacks a clear end point, this one will keep limping on as individual Redditors hit their own personal breaking points (or choose to kiss and make up with their abusive ex).
For my part, I’m still casually following r/ModCoord and the subs for my favorite 3rd party apps to stay in the loop, and will probably keep doing so (without interacting with the rest of Reddit) until it feels like there’s a more tangible consensus. The API goes into effect on Saturday, July 1st, so these next two and a half weeks will be full of popcorn moments.
