I don’t think that they’re trying to save Reddit; the “conserving Reddit” part is likely a joke. Instead I think that they’re genuinely joining the protest, through noise instead of a simple blackout.
For reference: r/worldpolitics did something similar in the past, although I don’t remember what they were protesting about; there was more porn there than in r/gonewild and r/hentai, seriously. Eventually leading to the formation or r/anime_titties to discuss world politics.
