    They chose an action that is not harsh enough for them to be “fired” as mods, yet is strong enough to be visible.

    It reminds me (to a certain extent) of absurd protests against communist authorities, which happened in my country back in Cold War times, ie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_Alternative . The aim is to make the authorities look like idiots, using force to make them stop. You have to be creative, when you’re fighting with someone who has total control over the platform, for me their move makes sense.
