I took part in the blackout and moved to Lemmy and hoped that the blackout would be successful, but realistically it looks in retrospect like it didn't matter much to Reddit. I still don't post there. I avoided reading for a while, but found myself still wanting to check on things / lurk. At least I have all the ads blocked.
