The best way to protest against reddit is simply to not interact with Reddit

Reddit Migration@kbin.social – 433 points – I see a lot of posts about how they uploaded anti-spez stuff onto reddit, or participated in the nsfw spams/john oliver spams. While I get wanting to let it all out, this ultimately keeps up engagement on reddit rather than bringing it down.
The best way to make sure things go your way? Vote with your wallet, or in this case your voice. Don't speak on reddit. Devote more time helping out the alternatives grow and flourish. And as much as it is a meme, touching some grass can help your mental fortitude.
If you absolutely 100% need to interact with reddit, I suggest installing a redirector addon (such as privacy redirect or... redirector) that can link to a teddit or libreddit instance. Or archiving it with wayback/archive.is/ghostarchive.

I'm treating the blackout and the aftermath as a worker strike, and treating any mods replacing removed mods as scabs. But more to the point, it's a strike and I do not cross picket lines. I will not go even to the Reddit front page until the corporation reverses course, accedes to the demands of their unpaid labor and backs the fuck up.
At this point, even if Reddit decides to do a full 180, I’m not going back. The community here is smaller, but it’s better right now. There’s a strong sense of unity and I’ve yet to see anything toxic.
I’m also not planning on telling others about kbin/ Lemmy/ fediverse. I am really appreciating the current self selection bias.
Same. They've fucked users over one too many times. Even if they go back to free API usage, I'm still not going back.
It reminds me of what Reddit felt like in the early days, except it feels more diverse and inclusive. It's kind of the perfect world of what I'd hoped Reddit could become.
It's inherently superior to Reddit: it's decentralized (federated), user friendly, light on resources, free and open source and has no shady obscure algorithms and bots tainting discourse.
Agreed, it reminds me of the discussion boards you used to get. I feel like there's an actual community developing here
I also feel replacement mods are scabs, but I've been enjoying all the free time I've had lately not browsing reddit. I'm actually getting shit done. I'm ashamed of how much I used that site. I will not go back.
