For the record, I fully support what the remaining mod team is doing, they are a wonderful group and I trust them completely. I don’t regret the choices I made, only that my actions got a few other mods shit canned in the process.

This is my first post on here thanks to the shit Admins pulled on you. How best do you recommend continuing the protest? Simply stop using reddit altogether, or is there a malicious compliance you recommend? My usage has gone down significantly since the API changes but I haven’t been able to kick it altogether.
Unfortunately, that’s probably the only route, IMO
While it’s not exactly a perfect replacement for reddit yet, lemmy can help with that, i’ve found. If you click to the “all” feed you can basically get a slows/less populated version of reddit r/all. Really all it lacks at the moment is user participation, which has been climbing a lot over just the past few weeks.
Just to add, sorting All by Top Hour/6H keeps the content fresh. The default Active sorts by comments and favors 1-2 day old threads while Hot regularly resurfaces weeks old threads for some reason.
Stopping using Reddit is probably the only effective form of protest. If you don’t want to do that, reducing your usage at all will help. However, the best thing you can probably do is help the Fediverse grow. Your part of that means active participation, be it posts or comments. So that’s what I would encourage you to do: Post things!
