Excellent. John would be proud.
No, he wouldn't. He would say continuing to visit a site you are protesting against isn't a protest at all.
This is just incorrect.
What you are describing is a boycott. And it's probably true that that's the most powerful thing a normal user can do against reddit.
But mods can do much more by messing with their sub. In terms of headache caused.
They're driving away the holdouts by making the content useless. I think that's better than just leaving, burn it down on your way out.
He’d be all for both, but he certainly likes malicious compliance as protest when feasible.
