Several subreddits had begun allowing porn and not safe for work content to protest Reddit. In response, the platform has removed entire moderator teams from the affected subreddits.
I get why they were trying to dialogue with Reddit Inc. at the start, but at this rate it’s hopeless - a protest only makes sense if there’s a reasonable chance that the other side will listen.
Instead they should be 1) encouraging migration, and 2) causing as much damage as possible in their way out, to discourage other businesses from taking the same approach.
I disagree. You don’t protest just because you think the other side will capitulate. That’s what discussion is for. Protesting is for when there is no discussion. Regardless of if it results in your desired outcome, it’s still an effect tactic to support a cause and damage an adversary.
I hope Lemmy doesn’t devolve into the same cesspit of reddit where people pride themselves on doing nothing.
