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.

      RES said they weren’t sure how it would be effected by the API changes. It could be fine, it could break some stuff.

        They also aren’t really developing it anymore. The maintenance team is down to two people on their spare time. They aren’t going to fix what Reddit breaks at this point.
