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.
