How reddit crushed the biggest protest in its history: Did it, though? (www.theverge.com)

How is reddit post protest, did it really win over protesters? Did the ones who left make a dent? Or like all things before, did it ultimately do nothing?

The impact is already noticeable, especially on subs where the mods remain in conflict with the admins. Regardless of how that pans out, I’m thankful to have discovered Lemmy along the way.

If you compare r/all to what it was pre-protest it is fairly obvious that there's a huge difference. Besides the subs that are outright still protesting, there's a lot less comments on front-page posts. It's pretty easy now to get to posts with essentially 0 comments on the front page (that aren't locked) compared to before.
