@odoben@KayOhtie@aires Yeah, the scary thing is that effective resistance is basically impossible on these platforms, your account is just a remote puppet that can be taken away or forced into whatever the real owners want, and that's indeed what happened to the moderators who protested the changes
Same thing happened on Stack Overflow where they straight up reverted changes people made to their own comments in protest
If it's not that, the network effect will prevail, like in Twitter's case where it always felt like we were just moments away from the floodgates opening, but eventually a lot of (very popular) users chickened out of moving anywhere else
