At some level it may look weird that only 7k subreddits are participating in this, but there's some subtle asymptotic power laws in how this accounts for most of the traffic to the site. I can probably write something up about it, but in general there's a small number of big players and then a long tail of smaller players. The inflection point is about 5k subscribers I think. Anything bigger than 5k subscribers is in the top 10%. I don't know what the total size of Reddit is (would have to pose as an investor to find out lol).

I don't know if this will really be a success as-is, for this protest to really have punch people need to close their subreddits and not come back. Right now the protest really is just a "we will suffer your enshittification 363 days of the year", which is just telling them that we will come back.

In order to really hurt them, you have to move to places like beehaw.org or pawb.social. Starting from scratch sucks, but we've done it before and we can do it again.
