Some additional context on the Reddit blackout.

Why disabled users joined the Reddit blackout
https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/13/23759761/reddit-disability-accessibility-blackout-api-blind

The cherry on top: "As for r/blind, it remains dark in protest, with a bitter twist: thanks to access conflicts, only a sighted person could actually flip the switch that set the community to private. "

I help mod another disability-related sub, and we participated in the blackout with the intention of effectively staying that way. Ended up switching it to restricted posting on the 14th so we could poll the users on how to proceed from that point. We had a significant amount of users blaming us for revoking access to their only source of info/resources related to our disability and ThE COMmUniTy, despite us linking to our Discord server and another off-site forum on the "subreddit is private" page :shrug:

We'll probably do a mod sticky post prior to the 30th with those links / info and a bit more, then effectively let the users loose into an unmoderated wasteland past that point since none of our mod team wants to use Reddits poo poo-tier first party mod tools to babysit adults for free

Can confirm, moderating a Discord is still easier than moderating a subreddit. One's not a suitable replacement for the other though.

Seems like the roadmap for a good community involves having

-a forum
-a chat room
-a sufficient userbase, with a decent amount of regulars
-mods/admins who are part of the community, not above it

Oh, this for sure is going to kill Twitter if it ends up happening

Embed is already dead or post removed. Gotta add screenshots when it comes to TwiX posts
