      No, he wouldn’t. He would say continuing to visit a site you are protesting against isn’t a protest at all.

        This is just incorrect.

        What you are describing is a boycott. And it’s probably true that that’s the most powerful thing a normal user can do against reddit.

        But mods can do much more by messing with their sub. In terms of headache caused.
