If community appointed mods are reinstated, and API pricing is set at an actual reasonable rate, I would go back. Punish bad behaviour, reward good behaviour - otherwise what is the point of strikes/protests in the first place?
The point of this particular protest was to show Reddit that We The People are the ones generating content, and therefore revenue, and that means we deserve to be respected and valued appropriately. This protest is a lesson on greed both for the Reddit owners and the wider user base who aren’t as aware or invested as those protesting.
Thank you so much for pointing this out! I suppose it should be obvious really but my fediverse training continues
