Who's driving the current protest? Who are the primary users of Apollo? Mods.
Reddit mods are anonymous and completely unaccountable to users. They decide what users see and what they are allowed to say. Their influence should not be underestimated.
If mods defect to another platform en masse, so will a huge proportion of regular users.
Take a look at the first page of /r/all. Reddit's brand has already taken a huge hit over something that will have little short term impact on the majority of users. I don't use Apollo, but this kerfuffle is unavoidable for anyone who uses Reddit even casually became of the mods.
