Looks like Reddit is forcing another sub open, but there are users advocating changing the sub to be about actual steam.

    It’s funny, but I don’t quite get the point of this. If you are boycotting Reddit then you shouldn’t be going there to post about things. If you ARE going there, you are no longer boycotting. Reddit doesn’t care what you post about. You are still participating in the site. It’s just driving traffic back to Reddit, which harms the cause.

      The point is the lurkers subscribed there are going to get bored of steam pictures and unsubscribe, if it happens to enough subs then a lot of the passive userbase will end up either spending less time or leave entirely. Since the vast majority of users are lurkers, it’ll outweigh the number of people creating these rebellion posts and Reddit should see a net loss in traffic. At least, that’s what I’ve gathered. Please don’t shoot the messenger if I’m wrong or it’s a stupid idea
