For the record, I fully support what the remaining mod team is doing, they are a wonderful group and I trust them completely. I don’t regret the choices I made, only that my actions got a few other mods shit canned in the process.

    It sucks but it wasn’t exactly unexpected. I salute you for sticking to your guns and protesting corporate bullshit in the most effective way you could.

    Since Reddit is clearly saying that protesting within the system is not permitted, I’m going the only route left which is complete boycott. Unless I hear about them very publicly walking back policies and issuing a convincingly self deprecating apology (and I’m not holding my breath) I will not be using Reddit at all. They get no traffic from me, no demographic information, nothing that they can monetize, just nothing. I only really used it for the memes anyway so fuck 'em.

    Also while I totally supported the entire NSFW protest angle I did very quickly grow tired of endless pictures of Kobold pussy and dragon dicks. “Sex positive” is one of those legitimate terms that is most often used by people who want to justify immature behavior. I supported that behavior as a form of protest but very quickly tire of such content when it’s flooding a feed. Because I’m not twelve and every single one of those lewd/smut memes I saw was just the sort of juvenile “lookit da nekkids and s3xx0rz” garbage that amused me in middle school with people tacking on comically flimsy excuses to pretend it was serious intellectual content. The protest didn’t work and I seriously won’t mind if I don’t see another goblin boob for some time.
