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.

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