Comment on PSBLACKOUT (boycott of PlayStation)
Fizz@lemmy.nz 3 days agoThe reddit api protest was actually effective if people actually reacted properly. Shutting down the subreddit made reddit go a step to far and force them open. That should have destroyed the community trust in reddit and caused a mass migration. But alas apathy

Didn’t a lot of mods just open up again after by choice too? If more of them took a firm stance then perhaps reddit wouldn’t have been able to replace them all so easily.
I don’t know if there will ever be a better opportunity to have a large anti-reddit movement though, wouldn’t be surprised if they have worked to prevent it since then.

Yes but having reddit step in shows how much it hurt

Yes, and also that it was the time to push harder. Go ahead, make then have to pay people to moderate their platform. See how long that lasts. Even encourage extreme shitposting and upvoting shit content to sabotage the site.
