No, we will not be going dark. The reasons are simple:
This form of protest has proven ineffective on reddit repeatedly.
Shutting down the sub on a Monday will have an adverse impact on our readers, including possible production issues.
We have avoided reddit “politics” intentionally and will continue to do so.
You are more than welcome to avoid participating on that day which will make the message far clearer to reddit through their metrics than shutting down the sub to folks in need who would be here anyways.
It’s disappointing to see the r/sysadmin mods take this stance, but I guess in a way it’s a good thing that they’ve shown their true colors.
Here’s hoping that c/sysadmin thrives and replaces it in the near future as the go-to place for all sysadmin stuff.
A lot of mexican communities (mostly the ones for memes) are not exactly active when it comes to moderation, I doubt they’ll take part but mostly due to being ignorant about it.
Any unmoderated community is part of why reddit has had a slow bleed death to this point. I hope they don’t come to lemmy
Those communities are not really active so it is not like people will recognise their absence. The whole deal with the protest is to destroy Reddit’s utility via content creators not giving away free content and moderators leaving the site to become hell. Active subreddits protesting allow to show what would happen if the content creators and mods go away.
