Rossmann seems to have misunderstood what a strike is. A strike is always between two parties that depend on each other.

"Leaving forever" is the only thing that won't send a message. If you're truly gone forever, Reddit has no shared interest with you any longer.

And powerful strikes go on for weeks if there is no acceptable compromise made.

I use to be a reddit power user, but my relationship with the platform has been extremely casual (less than 5 hours/yr) for the last 10 years. Even after all this time, Reddit could win me back as a power user if the platform was better.

The two parties here are the public, and the corporations owning social networking sites.

You're not sending a message to Reddit, true enough... but it does send a VERY strong message to the rest of the tech bros and their investors that Reddit f*cked up, bad, if their numbers crash.
