Protesting via reddit - next steps.

[u/half2happy]

Howdy all.

Per the mostly "yes" votes in this discussion: https://redd.it/141jur1

...we will likely join the protest against reddit's proposed changes to their API. If you're not sure what that means, check out the Explain Like I am Five thread: https://redd.it/142kct8

I'm going to put some durations as comments below in contest mode. You are welcome to add additional comments. Please use upvotes to vote for a duration and downvotes to vote against a duration. Polls are skewed towards those who use new reddit and apps.

Now for some FAQ:

How any changes reddit makes impact moderation here?

I use old.reddit via desktop or occasionally mobile device, neither of which is currently impacted by access to the API. I do not know how our YarnSwap bot works.

How will I know if the blackout is over if I'm boycotting reddit?

I made us a reddit yarn swap discord server: https://discord.gg/zkkevmBS and am still looking into how that works compared to how things work here. If anyone's a discord wiz or has other suggestions, that will likely be another discussion thread in a few days.

I have strong opposition to what you're saying and doing but fear the downvotes, harassment, and brigading.

Please message the moderators: https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=/r/Yarnswap.
