Really really really stupid as judged by the "musk stupidity index," not just really really really stupid for a normal person.

That's what they're saying.
They aren't arguing against leaving an "abandon reddit" message. They're arguing against leaving the original content alongside that message.
The general sentiment I've seen among users here is to not go back unless Reddit is willing to give in.
Some subs will inevitably give up tomorrow, we were never going to get 100% commitment to any protest. But it sounds like a hefty number are holding the line.
Heck, a good few people have already committed to burning their accounts and the original two days aren't even up yet. Though Reddit probably counts them as beyond reach even if they do concede completely.
Not necessarily.
Something like Facebook is still useful for keeping in touch with extended family and social circles. I may not particularly care about great uncle John, but it's nice to be aware that he's in the hospital after a bad fall without that information going through 5 rounds of the telephone game.
Somewhere like Reddit or the fediverse? I would never want my real identity associated with these accounts. It's nice to have some anonymity.
