He’s probably relying on the fact that the numbers are now skewed in favor of people against the blackout because those of us who were pro are extricating ourselves from the site and not posting/commenting/interacting with content as much, if at all.
That’s exactly what’s happening, the people who are disgruntled enough have either left or maybe like me just commenting occasionally to promote lemmy. This leaves all the people who don’t care.
I’m hoping it’s going to be a slow bleed and reddit will eventually wither.
Yeah, the thread on my city’s subreddit about reopening is full of the absolute dumbest regulars and users who I’d never seen comment before complaining about the blackout being pointless.
Pretty much - I took a look at Reddit today and the attitude regarding that blackout has done a complete 180. I don’t know if Reddit managed to push the narrative or what, but all I’ve seen is users complaining about “activists mods” and how they were never in favour of the blackout to begin with
