This way, reddit can slowly replace all the ‘problematic’ moderators. In my opinion the only chance the protest would have, was if all the moderators would quit at once if demands were not met.
You posted this comment in a community that didn't exist before the protests. On day-1 of the protest this place was a ghost town. Today I have an active feed with dozens of posts per hour and hundreds of comments. This was the best possible outcome. If the entirety of reddit migrated at once then the fediverse would still be crawling or stalled completely. Its alpha software with a a fraction of the capacity reddit has. The threadiverse seed has been successfully planted, it just needs some time to grow.
I agree with the good outcome for this community and for me as a lemmy enthusiast. My point is that the protest has been going on for some time and it doesn’t seem to be getting the desired results. I think the only powermove they would have would be to threaten (and be willing) to leave the platform en masse.
