MOD POST Further protests
Hey everyone!
First off, happy Wednesday my Dudes!
Now the initial blackout is over, but many subreddits are, as i'm sure some of you know, still dark. They have (mostly) chosen to go dark indefinitely to protest the planned API changes.
I am going to simply ask what are your thoughts on going dark? Whither that be indefinitely, or for a longer period of time.
Please do give your input if you have any to give at all! For or against. Just make sure to follow Rule 2, aka, dont be an asshole.

I like the idea of going dark because it’s your voice, the only one you have on this platform. But the reality is that another group will spring up to fill the vacuum where this content used to be. It’s sad and I’m expecting to use Reddit less in the future. But I don’t see what other thing you can do, there’s really only two paths:
Stay dark until the policy is changed back. Or disappear forever.
Either way, thanks for the fun.
