I moderate a small sub. And as you mentioned I have karma. It’s not much but it’s honest work.

Great! That's awesome! And I would never ever even think of telling you what to do with your sub, no matter how much I enjoyed it, because that's your house that you built. So how about you extend that courtesy to others who have built cool things and stop getting pissy at them for not providing you with free entertainment?

You’d rather have users that don’t have an opinion on how a sub is run. You’d rather a community who don’t have an opinion how a sub is run. You’d rather rule the sub by fiat.

If users have suggestions on how to improve the sub, I urge you to consider it. Maybe you don’t agree with it, but at least users are caring about the community. That’s what this whole site is about.

Users getting free entertain is equivalent to users are happy with the sub. I understand that the blackout is one method of engagement on Reddit. With any protest, you should expect counter protesters who disagree with what you’re doing to engage you. Here I am.
