/r/NBA is going to participate in the blackout tomorrow. This will happen during game 5 where Denver has the possibility of winning the series/championship. Redditors are not happy.

https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1476rje/team_and_community_rnba_is_participating_in_the?sort=controversial

Added context: Denver has never won a championship before, so this is kind of a big deal for them.

Thread is full of slapfights. Here's one that made me chuckle.

>During the finals? Bruh

>Mods and everyone else can pat themselves on the back like they are going to make a difference

>Let me guess. You didn’t vote.

>I mean I didn't vote either bc I don't frequent this sub 24/7 so I missed it. Only 8k of 7.7M voted, but I guess that's enough to take this offline indefinitely. What a joke lol. Sorry Nuggets fans

The protest is another in a long line of idiotic moves. If they actually had balls they’d just delete their subs one by one or shutter them completely but jannies fear the loss of their one source of authority in life.

Jannies can claim Reddit would just give sub control to compliant mods and it'd be less effective, and they'd probably be right. And remember they can bring back deleted subs, they did it with KiA I believe

Assuming they could private the sub indefinitely people would just make another sub and nothing would change. The protest seems stupid but it's basically all the jannies can do. They really should just stop lying to themselves about having any authority in this situation, it's pathetic.

Don't you know how important those subs are? They're LITERALLY saving lives!

Deleting the subs can be reverted, shuttered subs can be opened again

Just stick a final pin to users saying "use reddit.com/report for everything" and then just fricking leave
