Valid question. Hate to say this, but if most subs reopen after 2 days, we're essentially handing reddit bosses an easy win. It's like protesting with no terms, and instead merely creating a brief storm that'll pass and quickly be forgotten. Might as well throw eggs at a tank with that thinking.
The only way this protest works, is if subs stay dark with no deadline, and terms that must be met to end the standoff. That's how these things work. That's how it's always worked.
Some subs have already decided to go indefinite. They are coordinating in r/ModCoord.
It'll be interesting to see how it goes, I know one of the subs that I visit has opened it up to a vote on their community on whether to go indefinite or not (or just restrict). For effectiveness it needs the big subs and the bulk of subs to keep it up I reckon.
