https://old.reddit.com/r/196/comments/144lnmn/blackout_duration?sort=controversial
I have more than once seen queer teens posting on this subreddit, confiding about how they want to commit suicide, and come here for reassurance to keep living. So, I think it's unwise to potentially shut down this community indefinitely without establishing a clear consensus from the community, and as it stands, more than thirty percent of people who have cast a vote do not support an indefinite blackout.
Frick you to everyone who said indefinitely. This boycott will inevitably fail, and then what? You just destroyed the safe space of many LGBTQ people, as well as one of the only non-tankie subs that aren't specifically about anarchism.
s
no????? not indefinitely??????? i’m not on any other social media so this is my only real queer safe space on the internet. please don’t!!!!!If I had to guess, most of the indefinite votes are cis straight people who dont give a shit given theres always more shitposting subs. Since they greatly outnumber us the little guy is kinda getting fricked in the butt.
So Reddit just doubled down, as I’ve said would happen. That means we’re not about to delete one of the biggest safe spaces for marginalized groups on this platform, right? We’re not about to shoot ourselves in the head because “my le principles are intact at least?” right? This isn’t about to be another Bernie or Bust situation where a ton of “progressives” are about to show just how little they give a frick about preventing harm to the people they care about as long as they get to be performative in proving they’re one of the “good ones” right? It’s time for reasonable people to step in. This isn’t just a bad idea, it’s a bad idea for no reason. This is going to hurt people. Like actually hurt people. I guarantee with a sub of this size there are people here that see this as a reason to keep going. A community they’re a part of keeping them above water. Take that away and they drown. And I’m gunna be honest, there’s blood on the hands of every last idiot who got whipped into a fervor over this thinking they could change things.
Same post lol the fact this is where we are from a poll has unironically shaken my faith in democracy and people’s ability to not vote against their own self-interests for the dumbest reasons. All I can say to those who are beginning to regret their “indefinitely” vote after reading the official statement is that you better get fricking vocal. Because you made a dumbfrick choice based off nothing but hype, didn’t think about anything when doing it, and now you’re about to have blood on your hands. Even if just one person goes deeper into their depression and does something stupid that they wouldn’t have done otherwise, that’s one too many, and it’s on you. So get fricking loud and fix this fricking mess you’ve created. And if you voted for this and don’t regret it after seeing this, you’re not a leftist, you’re not a progressive, you don’t care about marginalized groups, you don’t care about protecting those you claim to care about, and if you fricking dare try to use the fact you’re also in one or more of the marginalized groups as some pass for your braindead decision

Closing the sub for a joke wasn't OK.
I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the sub for a joke wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this sub is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay. You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love the show and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this sub is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find this sub closed for the sake of irony. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.

Just make the /r/197 sub and everyone moves there.
According to the jannyblackout site there are over 400 subs already set to private. Most are small but there are a couple bigger ones. I'm so excited for tomorrow! I wonder if Reddit will let the two days pass but any indefinite ones will be forced to open.
If there is a God, pedojannies wake up tomorrow and mass set subs to public and kick jannies. I will frickin turn Christian if this happens.
