Out of curiosity before midnight, I’ve been lurking in incognito to see what subreddits appear and I saw WhitePeopleTwitter has a long post and is choosing to stay open.
WhitePeopleTwitter shows solidarity with the current protests on reddit against the fundamental changes to site architecture.
This moderated thread will remain open for everyone to comment in.
The comments that are in-favor of a real ‘blackout’ are being deleted.
I was even banned for commenting complicity. Interested to hear people’s takes. Anyone else face a similar story or think it’s justified?
Wasn’t UKPolitics very Tory? Probably don’t like the anti-corporate bent of the Blackout.
I wouldn’t say they were very Tory - people would very openly bash the conservative party there, but I would say, politically speaking, more center / right (i.e. more of a Telegraph reader-base rather than say, The Guardian).
With that said, I do remember in the past they definitely had a Tory-bias but I believe (perhaps due to the utter incompetence of the conservative party in recent years) that has shifted somewhat.
