"Every outrage is a tantrum, not a protest" is a strong statement.
Do you have any source on half of the protesting users being back? Losing the volunteer moderators is a big problem for quality, are those back or the others?
Community makes reddit work. Many communities while still open are moving off the platform. Some have just said they are doing post freeze such as AskHistorians.
This is digg all over again. It didn't happen overnight. Worse, reddit is now undeleting deleted posts, if you didn't overwrite each individual post despite your wish that what you said be taken down they are keeping it up.
Some mods did have a tantrum, other mods are being smart and implementing contingency, they just don't feel the need to broadcast because that would undercut what they are doing and cause an alerting response.

Reddit employs how many persons? And how many of those employees are actually paid via reddit HR?
Reddit is a more nefarious lens into actual corporate structure...
And the rest will follow.
Like every outrage on the internet, it's a tantrum, not a protest.
Because a real protest costs a lot to the people protesting, and you quickly see through virtual signaling once the bill comes due.
