The (48 hour) protests just communicate that u/spez can fuck us over 363 days of the year. The only thing that will work is leaving.

I’ve been gone for 15 days. I opened old.reddit a few times to see if the protests were working.

I haven’t gone on there at all in days and I’m fine with it. A little sad about it, but I’m fine with it.

Things keep getting better here and there aren’t so many people that having a discussion is like playing the lottery. Whatever I say, someone responds here. Someone sees it.

That’s nice. I’d like to see it grow, but not so much that everything you say gets lost in the noise.

I'm past that hump as well. I was "protesting" and spreading the word through June on there, but when RiF stopped I stopped visiting the site except as a result of Google searches for specific things.

I don't even really care what happens now over there, I'll feel a bit of Schadenfreude the day I hear they're going under but I don't care to follow the day to day of what's happening.

It's also not going to be a quick process, it's been going down the drain for years already and it'll be many more years before it's "dead".

I'm just glad I found a new place to call home.
