It was a limited scale action to show the impact possible. If reddit indeed won’t move it could become indefinitely. /r/ffxiv already wanted to move it to a week or indefinitely.
The problem is that reddit is going to call the bluff. The lay-user is going to get the shaft, at best mod tools will be beefed up to keep the jannies in the fold, the rest of the site is interchangeable. I doubt most subs will remain closed purely on principle, and if any of the big ones do, there’s probably several power mods perfectly willing to step in.

The problem with this thinking is that “limited scale” is easy to wait out. Grow some balls and make it indefinite.
