    Either only the scabs are left, or there’s a concerted smear campaign against the mods who helped with the blackout. I lean towards the latter, but it’s probably both.

      There’s a lot of upset users who had no idea that a protest had been planned for weeks ahead of time or that the protests made the news.

      They just showed up looking for their content, and having it cut off is like when your heroin supplier leaves town.

      I talked to some kid who was furious he couldn’t see r/starwars.

      And he blamed it all on the mods.

      When I explained the whole history of what was happening, he said he supported the protest but wanted to subs to go public again.

      :/
