Prior to the protest reddit was in full support of the protest. Most polls on subs supported a shutdown. Now, seemingly every community cant understand why the protest was needed and they’re calling it a mod power trip. There is a 3rd possibility. This is an unfounded conspiracy but reddit themselves could be manipulating scores.

So in other words reddit’s conversations will become as dull as Facebook.
Spez will get openai to make an llm moderator and he can control the weights. An army of spez moulded ai’s let loose on the Internet.
