I went through that thread before everything went dark, the sentiment in there was very anti-protest and pro-reddit. I'm pretty sure I saw an upvoted comment saying bad things about the Apollo dev.
I couldn't tell if people were genuine or if there was some manipulation going on in the thread by admins or otherwise.
I hope things have turned around in there, but knowing the hivemind effect it probably hasn't.
To be fair, if people are properly protesting, the only people who would be checking reddit to respond to that thread are
People who don't know
People who didn't agree with it
I wouldn't even know the thread exists because I haven't had reddit open on any tabs.
edit: will say there could be exceptions to that, but that's just the general idea
Nah, you can never underestimate just what PoSs people can be. A lot of them will do mental gymnastics to blame the victims. Before I left I'd already encountered people blaming the mods engaging in the blackouts for doing it "just over money".
