@BlueForestDev this is the most common criticism of any kind of protest, and it's highly fallible. The entire point of a protest is to prompt change by disruption that causes inconvenience and discomfort to people. The idea that bystanders being inconvenienced should dissuade protestors completely ignores and thus dismisses the underlying reasons that prompted the protest. Inconvenienced and disgruntled users are the entire point, because those are the users who will pressure reddit to change.
@Apaulling I don't think reddit will change a thing honestly. The current main users of reddit are normies and no longer the original tech focused core. Mods are a different story, but in the end if they don't bend the knee they will be forced out and replaced. Let's not play pretend.
I checked some comment sections and the sentiment seems to have shifted a lot from overt support to criticism and calling mods hostage takers.
@BlueForestDev I think that anyone calling mods "hostage takers" should start their own subreddits and mod them themselves. When they have to do all the maintenance and go unappreciated by both users and admin, maybe they'll start to understand. Mods are a major reason why subreddits flourish.
