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.

It’s an unfair situation the charities and organizations are put into. They have to spread awareness using the platforms that give them access to people. They can’t control what the platform does.
Do you think it feels good for them to get that email from you and knowing they have no response to give to somebody telling them the ethical thing to do is to not spread their message to the most people.
Ah, but that’s point. What is more important: anti-human trafficking or the message of anti-human trafficking? They don’t get to decide what a platform does, but they do get to decide their use of that platform.
