I don’t really know it’s worth a new post, because I don’t think this information really changes what we will see happen, which is realistically three things:

1. Subs that didn’t commit to an indefinite protest are already coming back online, like /r/technology. Admins will be happy with that and do nothing.
2. Subs that did commit to an indefinite protest but didn’t do so unanimously will have lower mods reach out to Admins to get higher mods removed, and open the subs back up. This is what happened with Advice Animals.
3. Subs that did commit to an indefinite protest and did do so unanimously will have old mod teams removed and new mod teams put in. If they do this, they will probably do it later, and while there may be some uproar, anybody who really cares about this by then will probably have already left reddit.

The fact that it was not super common previously doesn’t mean it won’t become more common, especially as precedent was set year ago.
