I appreciate the often simultaneous complaints that:
- A) The protests weren’t impactful enough
- B) The protests should just end already because they’ve been negatively impacted
Like, guys… either be nihilists or reactionaries, but don’t try to be both at once. Strikes hurt everyone; that’s the point.
I agreed with the mods in /r/gis that there should be an indefinite blackout and got downvoted. Some person even called me “fucking stupid.” That place is such a toxic dumpster fire. I’m happy for kbin/lemmy.
any suggestions for a geospatial community here?
I too reside in a geospatial location; let’s talk!
The only message a 2 day blackout sent to the CEO of Reddit was “wait two days and everything will be normal again”. Dunno why you’d do two days only to follow it up with an indefinite shutdown. Seems like a bunch of time wasted, and more confusing to redditors who just want a feed of stuff they like, making it harder to decide if they should leave for an alternative like kbin or Lemmy.
