    So… They’re going to force reopen the subs before the API turn off and claim the protests had no effect?

      I think that it’s their intention. Mods have a few ways to fight back, though. And I hope that they’re organising a mass exodus.

        I would assume that means they also plan to replace the real people who left the platform with activity from bot accounts to make it seem like business as usual for the planned IPO.

          Of course. Why do you think anyone attempting to delete their content is having it automatically restored? Gotta feed the bots something to repost and generate chatgpt responses with.

          Possibly. But that’s going to backfire badly in the light of a certain new Google feature.
