personally i ran my sub thru the protest, opened up as planned afterwards because the users were spamming me with requests to join the sub as approved users, and then started thinking about what the next step is going to be. i'll take a day or two to make that decision too, because it's not a tiny community over in that subreddit and those users are who i work for, not the reddit admins.

figuring that we'll shut down for two days every week for the rest of the month, and depending on what the users opinions are i'm not sure if the sub is going to continue operating. i DO know that if the sub moves website that i don't want to moderate any more. i lost interest in the topic of the sub a few years ago and have only been moderating out of generosity and simply to keep the place operating. i would have done it if nobody else did, but someone did, and they can have fun with the role.

"fun" /s

my priority is the user experience and making that as pleasant as possible before doing anything else. i asked the users of the sub whether we were going to do the protest and followed what their answer was. not sure how many people realise that experienced mods are kinda vital to internet forums actually working and not descending into shitfights and nazi recruitment zones. the number ain't big, i know that.
