The only place I don't see frontpage news about what's happening with Reddit is on Reddit.
I assume someone's deleting critical news articles there, or having bot armies downvote them. On Kbin and Lemmy and Squabbles, even on Google News, I see Reddit's woes front and center.
That was my thoughts too, anyone out of the loop on the whole situation wouldn't really notice anything is happening unless they went to a sub participating in the blackout/protests. Reddit looks totally normal on the surface
