As much as I would like to believe that boycotts can work, I'm just too cynical after seeing all those boycotts doing nothing.
My old.reddit.com homepage hasn't change much. Missing is r/ProgrammerHumor but r/Programming is there, alongside with r/darksky, r/wallstreetbets etc.
All the porn seems to be there too, which might actually move some numbers if gone dark.
The only sub which I care and it's gone is r/StableDiffusion
Which leads me to believe that the boycott will remove only a subset of reddit users and we are about to see how much reddit cares about that subset.
Redesigns on the other hand can kill a site. That's the only thing I've seen many times killing a website.
