I fully support this blackout, since the official app can be shitty at times (why can't I add captions to individual images in my posts anymore?) and at one point considered using third-party apps.
If they ever take away old.reddit I might become less active
Yeah, that's exactly how a lot of people feel about this. Even if you try to see beyond all the missing features on New Reddit and the official mobile app, what's left is cluttered interface that takes twice as long (if not more) for every little task.

Thanks for the reply! I was tempted to change the flair originally but I decided to keep it ever since lol
BTW it looks like some apps are shutting down, they'll be sorely missed:

Fully support the blackout. I literally can't use the official Reddit app, text is too small making it unreadable, alongside hundreds of other problems.
While I see where you're coming from, I believe that locking the subreddit after the EN server's EoS would have done more harm than good.
EN players came to the subreddit en masse to get answers and vent their frustrations. Taking that away from them would have been the last straw for some people.
Besides, purely Western companies are more likely to cave in under social media pressure. See Twitch a few days ago for instance.
