The only users in that thread who seem supportive of this change and are berating “the other redditors throwing a fit” for whatever reason, and I count three of them, seem to all:
Have accounts 1-3 months old
Not have participated in /r/diving before this thread
Of course, the redditor here dives immediately into schizo nonsense while ignoring the majority of users (lurkers).
BUT BUT THE UPVOTES SAY SOMETHING
Sure, buddy. It’s 37k readers, and the top comment has 28 net votes. It’s amazing how you people think the terminally online who constantly scroll and click around are representative of the average user.
The only people that matter to the popularity of a sub are the people making the content and posting.
The average lurker is there for information and interest. If the people who actually contribute content, ie. Not the average lurker, are not happy with the changes and are being vocal about it and leaving as a result of the new moderation team trying to end the protest then the quality, frequency, usefulness of the content (basically what keeps the lurkers there) goes to shit and the sub becomes a ghost town.
Sure the average user might not care about the protests but the average user doesnt post or comment/offer the information and co tent that keeps the subs interesting/alive.
Its amazing that you people think the people who made reddit what it was are not important to the website and somehow lurkers who contribute nothing are.
Edit: oh! Look at that, youve been here a few days and have 0 posts and a hanful of comments that have all got negative votes. Almost everything you have said has been to insult the people you are replying to.
Frankly mate. Go back to reddit. I think you would fit i a little better there with all the other lurkers that you so love.

You are literally unhinged I mean that with no due disrespect. Go back to Facebook.

If anyone is unhinged here its clearly the literal troll who is posting random nonsense and signing off as spiderman.
Do you see the irony here?
I sctually do see some but I am now genuinely curious what your point of view may be? If you’re not a pussy feel free to elaborate.
I don’t even care about all that shit. I just want to stop the needless negativity that’s infesting this site.

Why do you sign all of your comments like it’s 1998 and you’re using a Blackberry?
OK boomer.
