FWIW, I saw a decent amount of discontent directed at the blackout in a lot of the subs I frequented.

Some were confused by the mods and had no idea the 3rd apps were a thing. Some were ra-ra capitalism crowd mad that people are protesting the other site's gawd-given right to price gouge. Some were mad the blackouts didn't go far enough...

I think the takeaway is that you can't please everyone.

This ain't my first go as a social media refugee. I get they want to pull a Kevin Rose and cash out. Their board's been fucking with everything I used their site for and how I used their site. As far as I'm concerned, they can get farked.

IMO, the only thing preventing a mass exodus is platform mature enough to capitalize on their fuck-ups.
