Reddit mods might protest again starting on July first (opens in new tab)

I have been using Reddit for more than ten years, and I have the slight feeling it's starting to hurt the website as a whole.

I can't really say if content is getting worse.

I agree with the strike, but this really is a big crisis, it seems is going to create a lot of damage to the communities.

It's true that some mods abuse their powers and that it's not a perfect system, but this system is also what made Reddit so successful...

The subs protesting should essentially have a lead sub that randomly just says tomorrow is a blackout day within 24 hours. Maybe do it during big sporting events, or anything that might drive up Reddit traffic normally.

Or they could monitor activity and when activity is the same as it was before blackout go dark for six hours then go back up. Essentially throttling the subs online members count.

The original protest post was cross-posted 1,150 times. This one has been cross-posted twice so far. I agree there will be a small uptick in protest activity starting in July, but it certainly won't be like the original blackout, I'm sad to say.
