...Except that /r/ModCoord does have other venues, like the Discord linked in the sidebar. They mirror announcements to Reddit because that's the only place that's guaranteed to reach everyone involved, who are on Reddit by definition.

Sure, but shouldn’t they all not be on Reddit by definition?

If they don't need reddit, then they should stop using it to demonstrate that point.

Why wouldn’t you use every available, easy to use mechanism to broadcast a message? Clearly the actual organizing is happening on a variety of channels including Discord.

Because the message is “don’t use Reddit”

Use every available and easy mechanism, unless your protest is about one of them.

Because continuing to use reddit broadcasts a different sort of message: they're a bunch of addicts who will come crawling back.

All the more reason for them to quit using reddit...
