minus-squareSerJonSnow@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoHonestly seems pretty likely, it’s got to be pretty bad press for them with so many subs going private.
minus-squareLockely@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoIt could be an obfuscation for the drop in overall traffic for sure, but that’s pretty transparent if they try that sort of thing.
