With all things in history there is usually a person of power whom abuses that power. In this case the CEO of reddit has taken a dump on its user base, and yes that is mildly an option but one shared by the over 38% of subreddits out there still dark at this time of writing.

This blackout while decisive and impactful. It was not a success and seeing the voting records on [/r/2600/(https://www.reddit.com/r/2600/comments/14an6wx/user_poll_go_federated_stay_dark_or_open_up/) to open back up] shows how decisive this issue is overall.

The numbers do not lie but it is quite clear there is bias behind the data. However because I am not a dictator only a supporter of 2600 Enterprises and the community of hackers here. One does recognize there is a desire to hold a presence within the Fediverse and open up the subreddit. With that we have our community here at lemmy.world/2600 and are looking into ways to mirror the r/2600 content via a bot and do encourage or members to use their favorite lemmy instance, matrix.io bridge, or fediverse client to continue the community have built up over the years over here as well. Secure in the knowledge that your voice is heard, the community is advert free, and you are respected as an individual.

Welcome to the Fediverse, Hackers!
