For the record, I fully support what the remaining mod team is doing, they are a wonderful group and I trust them completely. I don’t regret the choices I made, only that my actions got a few other mods shit canned in the process.

This is my first post on here thanks to the shit Admins pulled on you. How best do you recommend continuing the protest? Simply stop using reddit altogether, or is there a malicious compliance you recommend? My usage has gone down significantly since the API changes but I haven’t been able to kick it altogether.
Unfortunately, that’s probably the only route, IMO
While it’s not exactly a perfect replacement for reddit yet, lemmy can help with that, i’ve found. If you click to the “all” feed you can basically get a slows/less populated version of reddit r/all. Really all it lacks at the moment is user participation, which has been climbing a lot over just the past few weeks.
First post on here, I have as well followed after the dndmemes mod fiasco by Reddit. Question: does Lemmy allow NSFW content? Asking… For a friend.
Each community is allowed to set their own standards for the rules they have, there’s no server wide ban necessarily against NSFW, so you should check with the mods of a given community
There are entire INSTANCES for that, my friend, with varying rules, themes, and content focuses.
Stopping using Reddit is probably the only effective form of protest. If you don’t want to do that, reducing your usage at all will help. However, the best thing you can probably do is help the Fediverse grow. Your part of that means active participation, be it posts or comments. So that’s what I would encourage you to do: Post things!
Define Fediverse please?
Ttrpg.network, which you joined, is one of many websites that can all communicate together with a common web protocol. This process is called federation and all of those sites together are called the fediverse. So for example, I’m logged into slrpnk.net right now but because both of our sites (called instances) are federated, I can view and comment here, and you’d be able to do the same on any communities hosted on slrpnk.net. You may have heard of mastodon which is more of a twitter alternative but it’s also part of the fediverse, so you should be able to use your account here to view and interact with mastodon content as well if you wish.
It’s a pretty clever system and while there are hiccups here and there, for me it has been a good replacement for Reddit. We just need more users and content to really get things going.
This is the fediverse. It’s a bunch of different instances federating with each other, sharing content but remaining individual. That way, no one instance can pull a reddit and go mad with power.
