A comment I posted recently about protesting mods transitioning to a quiet quitting approach became far more relevant:
Preserve plausible deniability so reddit admins don't have reason to oust you.
Quiet quit your moderation essentially.
Pressed by an admin?
Say "I've found a more hands off moderation style to be more effective"
They key is to let things go to crap but to also take away the easiest solution of replacing protester moderators.
It should be chaos.
Threatened by an admin? Go public, post you no longer support the protest as a sticky, link them to it, 24 hours go private again while they bother the next protestor mod.
Nothing would scare advertisers away more than having tons of "rogue" mods across the top 500 subreddits who could "turn protester" at any time (and do).
