After Reddit's response to the blackout protests, what made those moderators think Reddit is going to act nice? The mask has already been dropped, Reddit, represented by Steve Huffman, has already shown their true colors. Anyone who'd willingly trust them after what they've done is just flat out asking for pain.

Having said that, maybe those mods are trying their best to keep whatever semblance of "the old status quo" that might still be left. I also am guessing there's some kind of a psychological trauma thing at play here with them choosing to stay with an entity that has shown its willingness to use and abuse them, even painting them as villains. Sure, it's not a simple thing to just leave--after all of the effort they've exerted taking care of their subreddits. But they've got to realize sometimes, the best move is to just leave, even at the cost of everything they've got left.
