Some of Reddit’s most popular communities have posted open letters to the company with a series of requests regarding many key issues at the heart of the recent protests on the platform. They want a response by June 29th.

    Looking at a subreddit that I joined right now, there is a poll about the future of the subreddit and the protest and 53% are to stay open.

    MANY in the comments see the protest as useless and that it “hurts the community”. While I agree with the point that it locks users out from the subreddit, especially for tech support, I can tell you that they all don’t really care about this.

    I also have seen someone create a replacement subreddit for the private one just to fill the gap.

    And looking at all those Awards being given out in the posts about the AMAs and such, I have very little hope that something will change on Reddit’s side.

    I think, all the mods of those subreddits just pack up and leave to the alternatives like lemmy and let the Subreddits rot.
