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.

      True for general stuff, but I’m missing my more niche subreddits and there’s basically no sports here because apparently we’re too techie over here.

        Indeed, I’m expecting a slow transition over from Reddit myself. And that’s fine. There’s really not that much difference between a community of 100,000 and a community of 10 million, but there’s a big difference between a community of 1000 and 100,000. So let the big interests show up here first and establish themselves with some nice thriving communities, and the smaller stuff will develop once there are enough people around to support it.
