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.

Ah, but that’s point. What is more important: anti-human trafficking or the message of anti-human trafficking? They don’t get to decide what a platform does, but they do get to decide their use of that platform.
