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.

I wouldn’t be surprised if discord ended up having a lot of them, but the topic and comment idea of reddit feels like it’s here. Discord is like a chatroom, and to analogize further chatrooms feel like where communities gather, but forums feel like where communities live.
