Hi everyone, some of you may have already guessed depending on your timezones, but this sub is NOT going to be participating in the Reddit blackout protests for the next few days.

These protests, to make it short, reflect widespread outrage over Reddit's decision to charge large fees for some third-party apps to continue accessing the platform.

Many subs across the site starting today through the next few days, including very large subs and much smaller ones, are setting their content to "private" in protest, which means only pre-approved users can access the sub at all.

The decision to not participate in the blackouts has nothing to do with the protests themselves or what they stand for, but instead the fact that this sub is a critical resource for people in very dangerous and traumatic situations, and as such I do believe it would also be dangerous to restrict access to the sub for so long, or at all.

Thanks everyone.
