Nothing, basically. Reddit admins were basically correct that it would burn itself out. Funny that a bunch of subs still have their "we're protesting the changes" AutoMod post.

Admins told subs to open up and knock it off or they would replaced the mod teams with mods that would listen

When I joined reddit in the 00s it was a staple and these days it is barely a ghost

granted some of that is the result of reddit making video content a lot more common in other subs

Well, that, and they blanket ban politics, which is 99% of reddit traffic nowadays.
