Strikes can't stop people from crossing the line and becoming scabs. I think that sets this situation apart in an interesting way.

Subs didn't vote on if they wanted to keep posting/moderating. They essentially voted on if dissidents or the minority can keep posting/moderating

They voted on making their subs private.

Everything you wrote is a gross misrepresentation of the stituation.

I think it perfectly accurate but maybe I'm missing something.

If I want to participate in a protest by not creating content, I don't need a vote or moderator permission to do so. I can just do it.

Going private means that people who want to post can't.

In terms of a strike, it wasn't some people walking out. It was a vote to walk out and then prevent everyone else who wants to work from doing so
