maybe blind support for Reddit’s moves is just what happens when users are cut off from scrolling through their content.
It is. Going to the discord of a popular sub I realized that the protest is something that only a vocal minority is willing to take to its end, whatever that is. Most people either don’t care or are too preoccupied that they can’t kill time on reddit anymore. There’s people who are advocating for removing mods just because the sub was closed, completely ignoring the fact that if it weren’t for the mods the community wouldn’t exist in its current state, the same mods who are the most impacted by the killing of 3rd party apps. I find it insane that people can be so self-absorbed and short-sighted, but that’s just how most people are.
