At least the picture can convey the protest message so they know we aren't going to move past it that easily.

As if that means anything to them?

You're a minority.

don't go to reddit other than to spread to good word of Lemmy and to downvote admins so I think that has more benefit to us than to them.

Reddit admins ABSOLUTELY RUINED by frequent EXPLETIVES and DOWNVOTES

I don't think we are a minority at all. Look at any admin communication and all you see are complaints related to the changes. Also I think the protests actually are hurting moral at Reddit, and could potentially affect their IPO, but I'm mostly just enjoying a bit of schadenfreude from watching how poorly things can go for them. I know it won't affect their decisions in the end. https://lemmy.world/post/1796444

If you think their individual contribution there doesn't matter, why do you think their individual contribution leaving the site matters.

We're always a minority.

I don't think it matters.

I left the site, disappointed, because Reddit was great. I'm a transplant.

I understand why everyone is angry. It's a natural response, but after 2 months of this you'd think we'd have realized that there isn't much that can be done.

Reddit is going to aim to profit. There isn't much to it beyond that.
