A number of subs going public again, but many have decided to extend the blackout indefinitely

Hopefully more and more will join the indefinite blackout.
Huffman's memo that dismissed the whole thing shows that nothing can be achieved with just a 2-day blackout.
From the point of view of the mods, there isn't really anything to lose by staying dark. It's not costing them revenue having their subs shut down. Hopefully most of them will realise that indefinite is the way to go!
I think a lot of mods are attached to the communities they moderate and are afraid of losing them as people get frustrated and leave.
It's sad to see how many are returning while nothing was achieved.
I hope that they reevaluate this move.
I mean its pretty amazing it’s the 15th now and over 5000 are still private when the plan was supposed to go up to the 14th. Many have just switched to restricted. This also gives time for people to get used to other platforms and still get help transitioning away from Reddit while using Reddit to do so. It also gives time for improvements to the fediverse and the apps available.
Leave the darkside and come to the Lemmy-light...
