Is something up with the r/Rivian reddit page?

[Ozmt]

I tried to access it this morning and it’s set to private. Can anyone else get on there?

I didn't even know reddit was style alive.

Hi all, I'm one of the mods on r/Rivian.

We did hold a poll to see if people wanted to participate in the blackout and most people said yes. We're only doing the 48hr blackout rather than indefinitely, so it'll be open again tomorrow.

Thanks for the update on that..

There was a community poll and the community on the subreddit voted to participate. Proud of em

Logged in yesterday, forgot about the blackout, saw very little of my feed active. "Oh, that's right." Then saw one moderator post on two subreddits "Hey, we're not participating in the blackout! Post here!"

Not participating in the blackout is one thing - a few other subreddits I follow aren't. But actively being *ANTI* protest? Nah, that's a "sorry, I'm leaving your subreddits and blocking you." This one moderator apparently is the sole moderator for half a dozen subreddits that are all very small. Odds are none of them would have had a post during the blackout anyway. Rather than stir controversy by actively being anti-protest, just post something relevant to the subreddit. It will show that it's still open, without being purposefully antagonistic.

The Rivian Reddit thread will open up at midnight tonight. They were only observing it for 48hrs.

edit- and I see MarkieSharkie filled you in as I was typing

Many subreddits that were down for 48 hours are planning on doing it indefinitely. More information about it here:

You have my endorsement to keep the sub blacked out indefinitely until they cave. If Apollo gets killed off I’m done with Reddit after 15 years anyway.

Yeah and my reddit feed is populated with inane sites that I have absolutely no interest in, so I'd say that reddit is "feeling" the protest.

If they keep on junking my feed, I'll quit too (lol)

I will continue to vote to keep it private indefinitely. Reddit can't be successful for it's users with the current direction they are taking.

[it's about controlling, protecting and licensing the vast Reddit "knowledge base" for future AI model training.

Hope it's indef, reddit has been a dumpster fire the past few years.

 

[R1TruKaLa]

That is a shame as it is disruptive to have the site down for a potentially undetermined period.

I don’t see it back up unfortunately.

The blackout has lasted more than 48 hours.
To the r/RIvian mods: Enough, already. Walk the walk. Bring it back.
