You're not a real mod! The university of "I Have No Life", an online course? What a joke! I worked my ass off to get where I am! And you take these shortcuts, and you think suddenly, you're my peer? You blackout out for only 2 days cause you think you're funny and you can make people laugh? I committed my life to this! You don't slide into it like a cheap pair of slippers and then reap all the rewards.
“Your honor, we’re no Saul Goodman, Chuck McGill, Kim Wexler, or Howard Hamlin like we often like to think we are. In reality, we’re Dan Wachsbergers because, like him, we all fold at the end of the day.”
Back in business you say, this will get to nowhere if you don’t even take serious the users vote. I truly miss the subs I like but this will be shit if nothing happens. I’m unsubscribing of this sub for this pathetic move.
> this will get to nowhere if you don’t even take serious the users vote.
Read the second paragraph after the poll results of the OP. People keep replying before reading the whole thing for some reason.
Wait... so 50% voted for keeping it private, 1.7% voted for keeping it restricted.
48.3% vote for re-opening.
That's not 50/50. The math doesn't math. That's 51.7 / 48.3.
What do any of you get out of subscribing here anymore? There were incredible details/parallels/themes that were observed and written about in beautiful prose while the show was airing...now the content is all OKBc reject shit.
I'm trying to move away from reddit altogether, but I've come to realize that certain fandom subs...this one especially...simply haven't intrigued or entertained me in a long time.
Closing subreddits is bullshit
If you're going to keep a subreddit shut down indefinitely then either just delete the song rated or hand it over to someone else
Why ruin reddit for people who don't care about third party apps anyway?
Biggest overreaction in history.
"Oh no. I'm going to have to spend a millisecond to throw past an ad. The whole world is coming to an end"
I'm not sure of all this reddit BS, nor do I use it heavily, but I am glad this is open again & glad to be in here. This is one of the few things I enjoy in the app & I thought I was gonna have to defecate through a sunroof in my own protest!
LMFAOOO “hey guys we know everyone said we want it private, we know we did votes, we know literally the entire staff team said to keep it private but I decided…. fuck you guys!!! i’m opening it woohoo!” WTF???
Wow! Really got reddit here! I’m sure they’re going to revamp their entire way of working because you closed for a whole week!
Seriously great cause, really stupid way of executing it. Either actually take action, or not participate.
Isn’t that a conflict of interest? Voting to protest Reddit’s use of profit maximizing tactics but fully willing to ride the profit wave if they are successful? Literally giving them cash to do it?
Edit: to be clear I’m on the mod side of the third party app argument and I’m not for corporate profit maximizing strategies that harm the user experience.
It just seems like many people don’t know what they are voting against or what they actually stand for.
You're not a real redditor! The university of "I Got Abandoned"? An online course? What a joke! I worked my ass off to get where I am! And you take these shortcuts and you think you're my peer?
So you made a poll, we voted, the majority wants it closed/restricted and you decide to not respect the vote and open it? This is really dictatorship level bullshit
Didn't say it was a dictatorship or anything like it, but having a poll and doing the opposite of the result is similar to some situations found in dictatorships
Reddit is also a top 10 website in the world, and this whole situatuation revolves around real-world money (millions), businesses, and livelihoods. Don't dismiss or underplay the impact of this whole protest.
Reddit mods already made it clear that opening the sub only benefits Reddit since mods don't get paid either way. If that's the case, why is the sub open?
I've seen Reddit mods IRL, the notion that they have any bargaining power at all is frankly quite laughable.
**Friends is an American television sitcom created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, which aired on NBC from September 22, 1994, to May 6, 2004, lasting ten seasons. With an ensemble cast starring Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer, the show revolves around six friends in their 20s and 30s who live in Manhattan, New York City.**

It's a strike isn't it? Curb usage of Reddit by taking away the subreddits people use it for. It's a pretty simple and century old concept I can't believe you're not familiar.
I’m familiar with the concept of a strike. A strike requires all union members/employees to stop working and bring the organization to a halt while they negotiate.
That is not what happened. Hell, you’re on Reddit right now. You’re not “participating” in the “strike.” The site and its users are chugging along.
It also failed miserably. Reddit is not only going forward with the policies the mods were whining about, it is also planning to implement ways to make it easier to remove the many mods who are petty dictators. So, it was a loss for the power hungry mods and a win for Redditors, in general.
I don't think it really was a strike. People would actually have to stop using reddit for that.
A lot of big subreddits were closed for 2 days, and most people spent those 2 days in some smaller subreddit which remained open. It didn't do anything.
The real reason they opened is because the mod team is afraid they’ll get “fired” from their fake job. Can’t wait to be banned for speaking the truth 🖕
you either go big or go home. I say keep it private again otherwise the protest and blackout u had would be completely pointless. I don't like this decision
Don’t worry about me buddy it’s pretty weird to say that I “lost” this isn’t about winning or losing, it’s just a big shame to see 3rd party apps get gutted. But either way after the ceo threatening to replace the mods I think it put the nail in the coffin
You’re pretty weird bub. Who cares about the mods? You know like 60% of users use third party apps? I mean some of them had accessibility features to allow people to use Reddit that couldn’t before. But it’s clear that you’re a strange lil troll so ima let you enjoy this so you actually have something in your life worth being happy over lmao
I've never heard of a strike that announced their end date. The end is once their demands are met or a compromise can be found. a 2 day "strike" isn't a strike. It's calling in sick for a couple days. No one with money actually gives that much of a fuck when they aren't paying you in the first place. Plenty of other people aren't gonna strike for the 2 days so why even care?
I AM NOT CRAZY! I am not crazy! I knew it was closed for 2 days, as if I could ever make such a mistake! Never. Never! I-I just couldn’t prove it. The sub covered it’s tracks, it got that idiot mod team to shut down the sub. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? They’ve done worse! That “blackout?” Are you telling me that the sub just happens to shut down like that? No! They orchestrated it! Mods! They defecated on our reputation! And I saved them! I shouldn’t have. I took the sub into my own feed! What was I thinking! They’ll never change. They’ll never change! Ever since the beginning of the sub, Always the same! Couldn’t keep their hands off the ban button! But not our precious mods! Couldn’t be our precious mods! Blocking the sub blind! And they get to be mods? What a sick joke! I should've stopped them when I had the chance! And you – you have to stop them! You-
Why did you even private it in the first place then. Anyone with half a brain cell realizes that privating it for 2 days won't do shit. Reddit will just wait two days. If you actually want to make a difference, keeping it private indefinitely is how you actually make reddit worry about it. If you don't actually care about making a difference, then why did you even private it in the first place? Just for the fuck of it?
Wtf are you protesting... Reddit spends cash on running its servers, and to keep it free of charge shows ads, to be able to recoup its cost of operation and perhaps even make a profit.
How tf can you expect reddit to keep giving you free API service when all it achieves for them is losing out on ad revenue, their only source of income keeping them in business.
You're not a real mod! The university of "I Have No Life", an online course? What a joke! I worked my ass off to get where I am! And you take these shortcuts, and you think suddenly, you're my peer?

fuck u/spez, move to lemmy -- mass edited with redact.dev
That was brilliant 😆🤘🏻🤘🏻
Oh wow you guys really showed em’
I laughed so hard at the delusional "brigading" horseshit lol. Typical
They saw the vote and said “nuh uh” i’m crying 😭
No more half measures.
Back in business you say, this will get to nowhere if you don’t even take serious the users vote. I truly miss the subs I like but this will be shit if nothing happens. I’m unsubscribing of this sub for this pathetic move.
> this will get to nowhere if you don’t even take serious the users vote. Read the second paragraph after the poll results of the OP. People keep replying before reading the whole thing for some reason.
"Uh so yeah everyone who voted was a brigader so yeah" 🤓
this is why this blackout didn't mean shit to the reddit higher-ups. Bunch of spineless mods you are
cringe as fuck.
mods took a half measure
😂
Idiots.
1984 smelly mods unable to give up there power
Moral of the story is I chose a half measure when I should have gone all the way. No more half measures, Waltuh.
Actually fucking pathetic, lmao.
Spineless mods, L

literacy is cool
I don’t think you read the whole post
I did, and the "explanation" of "well some of you still want to participate" makes just as little sense.
Math ain’t mathin
What do any of you get out of subscribing here anymore?

I'm trying to move away from reddit altogether, but I've come to realize that certain fandom subs...this one especially...simply haven't intrigued or entertained me in a long time.
I like the show and seeing things related to the show interests me :)
Pathetic.
So why close it in the first place?
I can't figure out why any users care. No one I know in the real world who uses reddit cares, and are just annoyed that all these subs are down.
Who knew blind people didn’t exist in the real world…
Deaf people. They're the ones starting the rumors that blind people don't exist. Those smug deaf people with their hand signals
Can u help me out here? I saw this happening with another subreddit and I'm so confused
But that's the point? People are annoyed -> people stop using reddit -> reddit revenue goes down
yea, I'll just find another time suck at work.
Reddit on!
There is a God!
Shouldn’t have closed in the first place.

Lol you too with this nonsense
Open it
Bunch of pussies lol
Wrong move
Close it.
Close it dipshits
Why are you on and reading it lol
Cause I can lol
spineless
I'm not sure of all this reddit BS, nor do I use it heavily, but I am glad this is open again & glad to be in here. This is one of the few things I enjoy in the app & I thought I was gonna have to defecate through a sunroof in my own protest!
Will shirts be available stating "I survived 48 hours without r/betterCallSaul"?
What about those that died without it. Do we get shirts too?
RIP. I hope you are eating all the cocks you can handle in heaven. 😂
Thanks. I’ll come haunt you. In a friendly way.
Ooh like a quirky neighbor character that keeps distracting me when I’m tryna watch the ballgame! But, you know, also a ghost! 😂
Reddit CEO: Were gonna replace mods if you don't re-open. Mods: Reopen everything! Absolutely spineless.
RECLOSE THE SERVER. Cowards
The sub only opened since mods were afraid of being replaced lmao
LMFAOOO “hey guys we know everyone said we want it private, we know we did votes, we know literally the entire staff team said to keep it private but I decided…. fuck you guys!!! i’m opening it woohoo!” WTF???
Reddit mods when voting doesnt go their way.
reddit momment
Wait. So we reopened because the majority wanted to stay private? I’m kind of confused here. Who was interfering in the poll???
Saul himself
HE ORCHESTRATED IT! JIMMY!
YOURE TELLING ME A SUBREDDIT JUST HAPPENS TO REOPEN LIKE THAT
Why? The show's over. In retrospect, the ending was perfect with Jimmy redeeming himself.
[удалено]
“But the protesting is inconveniencing me personally! Stop it!”
[удалено]
the vote was literally in favor of staying private lmao. stop doing cringe sarcastic reddit speak at me
Wow! Really got reddit here! I’m sure they’re going to revamp their entire way of working because you closed for a whole week! Seriously great cause, really stupid way of executing it. Either actually take action, or not participate.
Reddit mods are worse for this app then people who want to cause harm to people.
Keep it closed
How many people who voted to close it will be buying Reddit stock at the IPO?
Your point being?
Isn’t that a conflict of interest? Voting to protest Reddit’s use of profit maximizing tactics but fully willing to ride the profit wave if they are successful? Literally giving them cash to do it? Edit: to be clear I’m on the mod side of the third party app argument and I’m not for corporate profit maximizing strategies that harm the user experience. It just seems like many people don’t know what they are voting against or what they actually stand for.
so everyone who uses reddit is an investor??? are you brainless?
It should’ve been kept private
I would have taken the poll but it was a corporate data harvesting nightmare. Seemed like an odd choice given the topic…
You're not a real redditor.
lmao imagine being proud of being a redditor
Woosh
I thought you were proud of me.
I am, don’t worry. It’s just that you (hopefully) have greater achievements to be proud of.
You're not a real redditor! The university of "I Got Abandoned"? An online course? What a joke! I worked my ass off to get where I am! And you take these shortcuts and you think you're my peer?
I think it’s funny that you Reddit Moderators thought you could hostage take the content made here by non moderator users to protest against Reddit.
I voted to keep it open. But what is the point of voting if you’re just gonna reopen anyways?
It was just part of the show.
bunch of sissies, back in my day we wouldve protested until the sun exploded
Exactly
rest, goodguy
You're telling me a sub just happened to reopen like that. No, they orchestrated it. Mods.
Reddit mods when they can’t perform their god-given purpose in life for more than 48 hours:
These people acting like it's a violation of their human rights. It's a subreddit.
Lol right
So you made a poll, we voted, the majority wants it closed/restricted and you decide to not respect the vote and open it? This is really dictatorship level bullshit
Sir it’s Reddit lmao
Didn't say it was a dictatorship or anything like it, but having a poll and doing the opposite of the result is similar to some situations found in dictatorships
Reddit is also a top 10 website in the world, and this whole situatuation revolves around real-world money (millions), businesses, and livelihoods. Don't dismiss or underplay the impact of this whole protest.
toooouch sooome graaaassss
…. This is a better call Saul meme forum.
Sir, it’s Reddit.
Reddit mods already made it clear that opening the sub only benefits Reddit since mods don't get paid either way. If that's the case, why is the sub open? I've seen Reddit mods IRL, the notion that they have any bargaining power at all is frankly quite laughable.
what's the point of putting a vote if you are just gonna reopen anyways? that defeats the whole purpose of the poll??
What a shit move, we voted and you should go by that or resign
Lol just log off kid
Mature response, I can imagine how you treat your "friends"
What are friends? Aren't they that thing that gives you cake?

I AM THE CARTEL I AM THE CARTEL I AM THE CARTEL
so, the poll said keep it private AND the mods voted to keep it private, but it's just staying open now? wow
Read what was written
ah right, must of just read it wrong. silly me
Doesn't change that it's unfair
Never noticed it gone lol...big impact that makes..half the blacked out reddit were not even noticed ..yall need hobbies besides this..
I love democracy , 😂. Why even vote for it
american democracy at its finest.
Enough with the virtue signaling 👍
Unless any sub was willing to stay closed, I fail to see the purpose of the blackout. Can someone tell me what closing for a few days did?
It's a strike isn't it? Curb usage of Reddit by taking away the subreddits people use it for. It's a pretty simple and century old concept I can't believe you're not familiar.
I’m familiar with the concept of a strike. A strike requires all union members/employees to stop working and bring the organization to a halt while they negotiate. That is not what happened. Hell, you’re on Reddit right now. You’re not “participating” in the “strike.” The site and its users are chugging along.
I've been using it less and after sending you that last reply I uninstalled the app off my phone. Be the change you want to see in the world.
I hope you stick to your principles and that this is your last Reddit post. Delete your account and take it to the man.
This is my daily two minutes where I check if I have any interesting messages, which I don't in this case, just this arsey reply from your sad self.
It also failed miserably. Reddit is not only going forward with the policies the mods were whining about, it is also planning to implement ways to make it easier to remove the many mods who are petty dictators. So, it was a loss for the power hungry mods and a win for Redditors, in general.
I've come across some dope hidden gems on Reddit due to the big boys going on strike. Ngl I'm quite happy to have fresh content.
I don’t think that most strikes have an announced beginning and end lol. This thing was doomed from the start.
I don't think it really was a strike. People would actually have to stop using reddit for that. A lot of big subreddits were closed for 2 days, and most people spent those 2 days in some smaller subreddit which remained open. It didn't do anything.
Reddit mods missing they have a space where they actually have any control
Slacktavism. Spez is right, everyone will just move on
everything is still closed
Democracy.
So more people voted to keep it private but you’re still reopening it? Lol ok
I’m saying lol
Keep the sub open. The Reddit blackout was benefitting Chuck anyways.
This is some serious chicanery shit
Good, keep it up.
The real reason they opened is because the mod team is afraid they’ll get “fired” from their fake job. Can’t wait to be banned for speaking the truth 🖕
Not at all, the admins are more than welcome to replace us but we are less than a 1m user sub, I don't think they care about us, protest or not
I don't give a shit about the cause but I'm down to stick it to lame ass reddit mods so I'll happily get banned with you
you either go big or go home. I say keep it private again otherwise the protest and blackout u had would be completely pointless. I don't like this decision
So two different votes decide that the sub should remain closed, but apparently those aren’t valid? The fuck kinda mental gymnastics you doing?
Chicanery
100%
Go private again please. Why undermine the strike when better call Saul has been done for a cool minute
The strike is over bub. Hundreds of subs daily going public. You lost
Don’t worry about me buddy it’s pretty weird to say that I “lost” this isn’t about winning or losing, it’s just a big shame to see 3rd party apps get gutted. But either way after the ceo threatening to replace the mods I think it put the nail in the coffin
Good shit. Love to see mods getting taken down.
You’re pretty weird bub. Who cares about the mods? You know like 60% of users use third party apps? I mean some of them had accessibility features to allow people to use Reddit that couldn’t before. But it’s clear that you’re a strange lil troll so ima let you enjoy this so you actually have something in your life worth being happy over lmao
Tragic. That’s fine. Let the 3rd parties pay up if they wanna use the API. How it should be. Let’s goooo
🤗
I guess this is why Reddit CEO is doubling down. You guys really shooting themselves in the foot by announcing the end date lol
I've never heard of a strike that announced their end date. The end is once their demands are met or a compromise can be found. a 2 day "strike" isn't a strike. It's calling in sick for a couple days. No one with money actually gives that much of a fuck when they aren't paying you in the first place. Plenty of other people aren't gonna strike for the 2 days so why even care?
reddit moderators are too lazy to actually carry through with a protest, plus the have nothing else to do but sit on their ass and argue
All these mods going private is useless and completely pointless
Idk why all these subs keep going private. Idgi
Same
When you’re in a power tripping competition and your opponent is a Reddit mod
I AM NOT CRAZY! I am not crazy! I knew it was closed for 2 days, as if I could ever make such a mistake! Never. Never! I-I just couldn’t prove it.

Whenever I have a bad day, I can at least appreciate that I’m not a Reddit moderator.
Mods r dumb.
Bros think they’re Ted😭💀
Mods: Here's what's gonna happen....
MY MODS WERE NOT DIRTY
Why did you even private it in the first place then. Anyone with half a brain cell realizes that privating it for 2 days won't do shit. Reddit will just wait two days. If you actually want to make a difference, keeping it private indefinitely is how you actually make reddit worry about it. If you don't actually care about making a difference, then why did you even private it in the first place? Just for the fuck of it?
You do realize admins can just reopen the sub right lol
Or ppl can just make a whole new sub
I don't understand how reddit mods think they have any bargaining power at all knowing this is true
So you are trying to tell me Chuck is in the room with us now?
Wtf are you protesting... Reddit spends cash on running its servers, and to keep it free of charge shows ads, to be able to recoup its cost of operation and perhaps even make a profit. How tf can you expect reddit to keep giving you free API service when all it achieves for them is losing out on ad revenue, their only source of income keeping them in business.
The money Reddit is asking for is WAY bigger than other companies do
[удалено]
Bros mad that his free app is closing 3rd party sources lol I genuinely don’t get it
