Valid question. Hate to say this, but if most subs reopen after 2 days, we’re essentially handing reddit bosses an easy win. It’s like protesting with no terms, and instead merely creating a brief storm that’ll pass and quickly be forgotten. Might as well throw eggs at a tank with that thinking.
The only way this protest works, is if subs stay dark with no deadline, and terms that must be met to end the standoff. That’s how these things work. That’s how it’s always worked.
There’s a stupid question I have (c/NoStupidQuestions?)
What do mods gain from reopening the subs after two days, even if demands are not met? Are they gaining money or something? Perhaps the bigger ones.
Power is addictive. At least for some people.
Its hard to abandon a community that you’ve spent years cultivating. No money involved at all, just emotional baggage really.
Always be willing to walk away, or you are working for free for somebody else’s profit. If it isn’t fun, quit.
