Users don't care, they just want to keep browsing reddit.
Power-tripping mods are the ones trying to tank the subreddits.
The communities that actually ask the users for feedback on what they want tend to all be back to normal.
Users do care. Reddit has been going through enshittification for years and this most recent change is the straw that broke the camels back. I don't know why there's so many Reddit shills on Hackernews pretending like it's just power-tripping moderators. It isn't. It's a huge subset of the Reddit community who've been using it for over a decade who are so sick of how bad it's gotten. It's obvious old.reddit is next; because Reddit was able to bust this protest, they do it again, and again.
First, mods are the group of people who are most impacted by Reddit's proposed changes, so of course they're going to be more vocal about this than the average user.
Second, are you arguing that mods aren't also users?
