Yeah that 48 hour limit really was a misstep.

There were a handful of times today I wanted to research something and hit the private wall, surprising me each time.

It showed me that if this protest was indefinite, it could have a real impact on the platform. Yet, on Wednesday all will be back to normal.

I'm also very skeptical of something like this - it's the Twitter effect: people will complain all they like, but at the end of the day - Twitter and Reddit are where people are and will remain. As for the Digg comparison, tolerance for corporate greed in the services we use has skyrocketed in the past 13 years, so I dont think it's an apt comparison.
