I doubt these protests will change Reddit management's mind on things, what did these protests change so far? AFAIK nothing, the best thing to do is to migrate to an alternative platform and delete your account and recommend the subscribers to do the same while keeping the subreddit private

Nothing will be as effective as deleting your account and migrating to an alternative platform.

For many "lurkers" of reddit, the protest brought some attention to the issue and reddit's disdain for the moderators.

I think it helps with the migration if the communities are not taken by surprise when a mod declares a migration.
