Somehow, I don't think trying to silence all of reddit about this topic is going to work out like they're planning. A complete hostile takeover is not something redditors will forget, even if they stay on reddit. Other reddit moderators are also watching this behavior towards their peers and it's likely turning the ones that were on the fence against reddit admins. PR-wise, this is a really really bad move, and it's also a lot of extra fuel for the fire to go against the 48-hr "peaceful protest" aspect of the blackout.

This is going to result in one hell of a Streisand effect of they keep it up. Reddit PR team needs to wake up and do damage control at this rate

Hopefully the users of these subs provide enough backlash for this that it doesn't work out in Reddit's favor. If not, they're just incentivized to keep doing it. Only way to prevent it is if we as users make it less profitable for them to do this than it is to let the protest continue or reverse the API decision.

Or we just leave and take our content elsewhere. In the end reddit itself doesn't generate any content. It's all user created. We just have to leave.

This makes me want to use Mastodon and Lemmy more.
