I think they've bought themselves time but shit the bed in the process. Their crackdown has been largely negatively seen by the userbase and they didn't address any of the concerns the strike had while making it worse for that userbase. They've passed a few subreddits off to scabs, but now they're stuck doing the same job in worse conditions with a more hostile community. That's at most a bandaid solution until the next wave of strikes comes. I think those will happen either when they crack down on one of the silly strikes the big subreddits are doing which users think are fun or when they go public and have to further restrict things. The vibe of the website is different and I think it's stuck in a negative feedback loop that it probably won't recover from.
Your comment reminds me: know any good scabbed subreddits to troll? I'm thinking posts that are debateably allowed, and then having ChatGPT rules-lawyer for me over everything, as publicly and sensationally as feasible. I'm open to suggestions, but not willing to spend more than a few minutes a day molotov-cocktailposting
I can't think of any offhand where the users are currently shitting on the scab mods. r/Snackexchange was for a bit but posts there are so formulaic that there's no opportunity to troll.
