The best way to protest against reddit is simply to not interact with Reddit (kbin.social)

I see a lot of posts about how they uploaded anti-spez stuff onto reddit, or participated in the nsfw spams/john oliver spams. While I get wanting to let it all out, this ultimately keeps up engagement on reddit rather than bringing it down.

The best way to make sure things go your way? Vote with your wallet, or in this case your voice. Don't speak on reddit. Devote more time helping out the alternatives grow and flourish. And as much as it is a meme, touching some grass can help your mental fortitude.

If you absolutely 100% need to interact with reddit, I suggest installing a redirector addon (such as privacy redirect or... redirector) that can link to a teddit or libreddit instance. Or archiving it with wayback/archive.is/ghostarchive.

I just popped in for the first time since around the 10th and while there are still posts honestly the upvotes on popular seem really low and the content I saw scrolling through 40 or so threads was really meh and none of my usual favorites popped up... I'm really hoping this is the beginning of the end

NSFW subreddits don't appear on r/All or r/Popular. (NSFW posts can appear, but only from subs that aren't flagged as NSFW themselves).

So the current protest method is somewhat counterproductive. People who never took the step of subscribing to these subs likely won't see them at all.

I don't think the bots have much creativity
