Yup, agreed. On my sub, most people agree with the blackout. But there's a huge swell of people who are 100% on his side, and he's done a great job of pitting users against mods and framing mods as power-hungry jerks who are anti-democracy (in order to distract from the fact that he makes decisions with no accountability).

I wonder what the larger subreddits would look like if they were unmoderated. Maybe that would be a better way for mods to protest at this point.
