So mild forms of eco-vandalism are legitimate forms of political protest? [rhetorical question, just illustrating the pathologically self absorbed boomer mindset]

It was a tiny [1278 member] niche investment sub. It has 2 years of tech questions and answers.

This morning I posted this and walked away.

"I'm out, I've meet greasy little fucks like spez in real life and you couldn't pay me to associate much less have me waste my time for free. Experimenting with https://lemmy.nz/

I'm not comfortable with the 'take my ball and go home' form of boycott . Seems selfish.

So I'll put the sub on 'restricted' after this post which will mean no new posts but you can use the search function within the sub to probably get answers on issues as a lots been covered over the couple of years.

That's my first layer of compromise.

The second is if someone want's to mod and bring it back fully then send me a message and you can take a seat on this rancid exploitative corporate vehicle.

I'm out."

I just went to the sub I'm the sole mod for, opened it up after the 2 day blackout. Then flicked across to 'all' and saw the reddit CEO making 'this will pass' noises so went back to my sub and closed it up again. I might open it up tomorrow again and ask if any of the 1500ish members want to mod it to keep it going. [I don't see why my boycott has to be anyone elses issue] or I might just let it die...see how I feel in the morning.

order his troops to try...yep sounds about right. "Hey...Um...Troops...could you try?"
