It's gratifying to see so many subreddit moderators participating in the blackout of a site run by deceitful, greedy people. But if the subreddits go dark only for two days, and then return as if that solves anything, they'll be empowering the deceitful, greedy people. The message will be lost, or worse, the opposite of what's intended.
Stay the course.
It already happened with new.reddit. The administrators wavered with vague promises that they weren't gonna touch API and mostly support CSS-like features, then all the subs folded on just the words they knew were empty.
When they folded, they said (behind the scenes and some publicly) there was no point holding out longer since Admins might just replace them if they stayed blacked out.
Admins learned the lesson. Subs will come back online "for the users" and mods will move on.
