The best way to protest against reddit is simply to not interact with Reddit (kbin.social)

I see a lot of posts about how they uploaded anti-spez stuff onto reddit, or participated in the nsfw spams/john oliver spams. While I get wanting to let it all out, this ultimately keeps up engagement on reddit rather than bringing it down.

The best way to make sure things go your way? Vote with your wallet, or in this case your voice. Don't speak on reddit. Devote more time helping out the alternatives grow and flourish. And as much as it is a meme, touching some grass can help your mental fortitude.

If you absolutely 100% need to interact with reddit, I suggest installing a redirector addon (such as privacy redirect or... redirector) that can link to a teddit or libreddit instance. Or archiving it with wayback/archive.is/ghostarchive.

I don't think they'd really be hurt at all. New mods would take over some large subs, but things will recover. They'd rather have a userbase of 10 people paying for Premium, clicking and converting on ads, and spending Gold, than a userbase of 1000 who don't. This is just an ad campaign optimization. Cut out the non-targeted parts of the lookalike to improve conversion metrics.
