Yep. Because them forcing/strong-arming subs to reopen definitely speaks to the Reddit admins believing this is not changing anything.
Even if a vast majority of people don’t protest because they’re simply lurkers, the problem is it’s the power users, the ones who generate quality content and moderate their subs for free who are protesting.
If I were Reddit, that’s the bit I’d be worried about.

I agree. I’ve left reddit and ended up here in the fediverse, i wouldn’t use official app and hate adverts.
My wife, who’s a regular lurker and occasional poster, uses official app and didn’t even know any protest was happening as it didn’t disturb her little corner. She and those groups will just carry on.
Plenty of us are done and out. But enough will stay for it to ‘blow over’ as well, as u say
Until all of us slowly put the pieces together, get content going, and then you tell your wife hey this is actually really good now you should check it out, and then she too leaves in a year or two or three or whatever.
