    I went through that thread before everything went dark, the sentiment in there was very anti-protest and pro-reddit. I’m pretty sure I saw an upvoted comment saying bad things about the Apollo dev.

    I couldn’t tell if people were genuine or if there was some manipulation going on in the thread by admins or otherwise.

    I hope things have turned around in there, but knowing the hivemind effect it probably hasn’t.

      Nah, you can never underestimate just what PoSs people can be. A lot of them will do mental gymnastics to blame the victims. Before I left I’d already encountered people blaming the mods engaging in the blackouts for doing it “just over money”.
