Reddit is redirecting some impressions away from existing communities, and some advertisers are pausing campaigns.

The whole "we've been polling our members" thing feels a little sanctimonious to me. You're the moderators, make a call. If the users don't like it they can do the same thing they could do any other time they disagreed with moderators, make a new subreddit and moderate it themselves.

Edited to add, even if you want to poll them there's no need to open in the meantime. Link to a stawpoll on your locked page. Direct people to discord, or here, to engage. By engaging on Reddit all you're doing is proving spez right that this will blow over.

It's not sanctimonious. We care what our members think and feel. We have the open support of the author we're the fandom for, even saying he'd follow us to a new platform if the community decided to go to one. There's nothing sanctimonious about caring about a community and letting the collective decide what to do. We don't "own" the community, we caretake it. We don't exercise power without the fans being behind it.
