Explained by people more eloquent than we are.

Regardless of intent, it's basicly sit on knees than die on feet kind of thing.

The reason people can't move, is cause there is no other Mainstream alternative that exists for it. If it was the two respectable streaming platform + the two questionable streaming platforms. people have choices when one of them fucks up. <But it ain't that great between them either unless people cause shifts.>

"Protests" don't do things unless it actively does discomfort that cannot be denied.
<even if they try to turn you against each other. you only need to keep the pressure til it snaps>
[if they replaced every single. moderator there, it only needs the new one to be the exact same. The inverted "new boss, same as the old". Instead of the Community vs itself.

In the end, I'm only supportive of this, cause it gives reason/pushes for information to be posted in a simple, easy solution in other locations, rather than the lazy(join our discord or else IS, no info Twitter, etc.) options.
When there is alot that can be used, that is ease of use, Yet are not.

Also let it be remembered, the fact people are letting the CEO call moderators "Landed Gentry" who aren't even paid, or actually put in instead of getting out<in the majority>.
Yet those two words seems to be doing damn well to get people against each other.
Then it's time to build a new platform.

The current group of moderators probably doesn't want that though. Let's be honest with ourselves, while this situation sucks and it's mostly Reddit's fault as company, sub reddit moderators are taking it out on the userbase themselves.

Besides that, migrating could potentially ruin plenty of subreddit moderators. There's a chance their communities won't have nearly as big of a following. They'd have less power to flex.

No. It's much easier for them to butt heads against the CEO and try to change things back on the platform where they still have some semblance of power while holding the entire userbase hostage. The discomfort that protests are supposed to cause is not supposed to be aimed at the common person but at the people causing the discomfort. It's true that historically there has been collateral damage in a lot of protests but can we ever deny that's anything more than tyranny of the majority? Either way, we live in a modern world and we're capable of creating better solutions to these problems. You just choose not to.
