I understand people’s attachment to their community, but if even a significant minority of those who went dark mass resigned on the 30th, it would’ve had so much bigger an impact than any of the ongoing attempts at protest.
I am surprised roughly a quarter of the protesting communities have stayed dark. That’s way more than I expected out of a two day protest. It’s no mass resignation, but it is more effective than most of the follow up protests.
And if all mods are unified, it can be hard for the admins to figure out what to do with the sub. There is a reason why interesting as fuck hasn’t come back yet; the admins will own whatever the mods do.
Reddit mods, face the music. Your volunteer work is only going to get harder and even more thankless from here. Quit while you’re up.

To me, it appears that the ongoing follow up protests keep the power-admins’ hands full from reopening the smaller privated subreddits.
