Did the reddit hivemind do a 180 or are the people left behind just the people who don't care. (kbin.social)

Prior to the protest reddit was in full support of the protest. Most polls on subs supported a shutdown. Now, seemingly every community cant understand why the protest was needed and they're calling it a mod power trip. There is a 3rd possibility. This is an unfounded conspiracy but reddit themselves could be manipulating scores.

Well, people who have left the site will, by definition, not be the people who are still commenting over there.

And as others say, probably a some bots are involved.

Exactly. I just.. Stopped using it. Everyone else like me wouldn't be part of the conversation.

I could certainly see them gaming the algorithm a bit too, to make it look more active. I think we'll just have to wait and see, if advertisers/investors pull out.
