“Protest and dissent is important,” Reddit CEO Steve Huffman told the AP. “The problem with this one is it’s not going to change anything.”

    I agree. I’ve left reddit and ended up here in the fediverse, i wouldn’t use official app and hate adverts.

    My wife, who’s a regular lurker and occasional poster, uses official app and didn’t even know any protest was happening as it didn’t disturb her little corner. She and those groups will just carry on.

    Plenty of us are done and out. But enough will stay for it to ‘blow over’ as well, as u say

      Until all of us slowly put the pieces together, get content going, and then you tell your wife hey this is actually really good now you should check it out, and then she too leaves in a year or two or three or whatever.
