Their post announcing it, has comments disabled. I have been going on reddit looking for polls to vote "yes" to continue to participate in the blackout. This was kind of a bummer.

Edit: Looking at the mods most recent post, they're still putting up a fight! And all new posts have 0 upvotes and I can't see comments from RiF anyway. Can anyone else see anything from other reddit apps?

Unfortunately the protest seems to basically be done. I think Mods should have had a plan to come back but to “quiet quit” and allow communities to go to shit to prove that what they do has value. Plus it would be much harder for Reddit to control that or identify where it’s being done.

Unfortunately it seems there was no real plan beyond the 2 day blackout, which should have been a starting point not a finish line.

I'd bet when the 3rd party apps are actually gone, we'll get a second wind. People haven't been forced to use the shitty app yet.

My thought too. Having every 3rd post be an ad gets old, and the realities of how shitty a platform it is will set in quick. Plus old.reddit is next. Many people in the browser still use that. The future of RES is also in question.

Can you imagine having to use new Reddit and not having RES? only thing that'll be missing is the popup that says to turn your ad blocker off...
