There's already been noise on the ModCood subreddit about "What if this fails? What next?"
I don't think protests like this alone are going to cut it. If they haven't figured this out already, they need to realize that this doesn't cut their ad revenue enough to make a difference. A coordinated campaign against Reddit advertisers would be a big blow. The disability issues alone should make advertisers pause.
OTOH, I do like Lemmy.
I'm surprised we haven't seen power mods collectively band together to form their own Reddit clone.
