Users do care. Reddit has been going through enshittification for years and this most recent change is the straw that broke the camels back. I don't know why there's so many Reddit shills on Hackernews pretending like it's just power-tripping moderators. It isn't. It's a huge subset of the Reddit community who've been using it for over a decade who are so sick of how bad it's gotten. It's obvious old.reddit is next; because Reddit was able to bust this protest, they do it again, and again.
