Several subreddits had begun allowing porn and not safe for work content to protest Reddit. In response, the platform has removed entire moderator teams from the affected subreddits.

I disagree. You don't protest just because you think the other side will capitulate. That's what discussion is for. Protesting is for when there is no discussion. Regardless of if it results in your desired outcome, it's still an effect tactic to support a cause and damage an adversary.

I hope Lemmy doesn't devolve into the same cesspit of reddit where people pride themselves on doing nothing.

I agree with your point in general. If your protests get you banned/removed and thus eliminate your ability to protest then another tact may be more appropriate.
