Honestly, trying to hide the protest by taking even more of the platform down is stupid. I really hope that this stuff leads to Reddit’s user numbers dropping permanentally, but I doubt it as it seems like most subreddit only closed for 2 days.
I believe the intention is that the 2-day protest is a warning shot, and on 6/30 when the API changes to into effect, the plan is for some / most of these subs to close permanently, if the decision goes through.
