By now, yeah, but the damage is done. Power users and mods left in droves when they saw reddit overriding mods to reopen big subs. At that point they'd shown just how much they DGAF about the people that actually provide all the value on their site. As the moderation and content dwindles it's going to turn more into a barren wasteland/cesspit and it'll fade into irrelevance. If this network has done its job creating an alternative for people to go to when that happens, then we'll have liberated a large swathe of social media.

The protest basically doesn't even need to happen at this point.
