I doubt these protests will change Reddit management's mind on things, what did these protests change so far? AFAIK nothing, the best thing to do is to migrate to an alternative platform and delete your account and recommend the subscribers to do the same while keeping the subreddit private
Nothing will be as effective as deleting your account and migrating to an alternative platform.
what did these protests change so far?
They pushed people to other platforms.
Yep, u r correct I should have thought about it more, I hope they are still pushing more people away but are there any estimates for how many left Reddit so far I really would like to know.
For many "lurkers" of reddit, the protest brought some attention to the issue and reddit's disdain for the moderators.
I think it helps with the migration if the communities are not taken by surprise when a mod declares a migration.
Even if it fixed it for now you know it's just a matter of time until they try again. Abusive behavior isn't something that can be forgiven without meaningful changes. Best case scenario, the protests force reddit back to the way it was, but that's not enough make sure it doesn't happen again.
