It amazes me how little Reddit's leadership understand about their own history.
Reddit essentially took off because Digg screwed the pooch so hard with their redesign and just general mismanagement of their community.
As soon as it says "June 12th to 14th" instead of "June 12th til hell freezes over", you know the blackout is doomed.
We don’t need a separate HN post for every subreddit that’s doing this.
/r/formula1 is the We here
Let reddit die.
I hope that this leads to the demise of reddit and the resurgence of xenforo self hosted forums. In a way, I miss vbulletin.

Personally I feel bad for all those folks that moderates/contributes in Reddit and at Stack Overflow.
Imagine pour hundreds of hours for the sake of enjoyment, sharing or nurturing a community and due to some market circumstances not having a saying in any decision.
To be honest, seeing those movements from those companies makes me feel that the future of open communities (but some how walled) it’s bleak.
