How is reddit post protest, did it really win over protesters? Did the ones who left make a dent? Or like all things before, did it ultimately do nothing?

There is no shortage of people that are willing to moderate and Reddit doesnt really care if they do the job well by the community’s standards so long as those new mods do what reddit wants. And at this point, the mods walking away in protest is the equivalent of saying “you cant lay me off! I quit!” Redditors do not understand at all who is in control on that site.
/r/interestingasfuck suggests there is a shortage of people willing to moderate – or that Reddit is willing to let large, popular subs die if they protested.
Reddit has literally kicked mods out of a sub then banned that same sub shortly after for being unmoderated. That sort of stupidity cant be intimidated or reasoned with.
Spez more or less said point blank that he views Musk’s management of Twitter as inspiration for how he intends the site to be run. That should have been enough on its own to let people know what level of insane they were dealing with.
