The active users voted to go private in many cases.

This seems to be what I've observed as well. Across many subreddits, the announcements to participate in the blackout were highly upvoted (>90%), while announcements against participation were heavily downvoted. Examples: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/146xzgk/meta_tomorrow_askhistorians_will_go_private/ https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/146xzgk/meta... https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/145s613/rgames_and_the_june_1214_shutdown/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/145s613/rgames_and_t...

  That was only for the initial 48 hours blackout.

only a handful of subscribers voted in each of these polls. And we know that the most motivated people cared enough to vote, the vast majority of people do not care about this There were a lot of people protesting the protest in r/modCoord but they started banning them

  Polls I saw were very active for their groups. People who opposed going private has equal opportunity to vote. People who abstained abstained. More important votes are decided all the time by the people who cared enough to vote. r/modCoord has negative comments minutes to days old. Criticism is not banned evidently. How did the banned protest the protest? Are the protesting moderators allowed any moderation of their coordination channels in your mind?

    > Are the protesting moderators allowed any moderation of their coordination channels in your mind No idea it is their channel The issue is, they should not be allowed to coordinate site-wide. The whole point of subreddits is to have separate competing communities, not to coordinate.
