It's easy for them to attack the remaining subreddits when half of reddit, bent the knee at the slightest threat of having mod powers removed. Imagine how hard it would have been to do this if a majority of subreddits had stuck together.
That was some weak ass protest anyway. Let's protest for just 2 days! No wonder Steve Huffman just gloated about it all over and even called the mods "landed gentry"
It wasn't just 2 days though? 2 days blackout was the first part. I mean, we're literally in a thread about a sub being punished for continuing their protest and they're not the only sub.
IMO it was always the right move to start with a limited protest. Giving users a chance to vote on next steps easily lets them counter reddit's claims that people wanted the protest to end.
Most subs only protested during those two days. If all 8k subreddits had committed to a indefinite blackout, there would little reddit admins could do.
