Do you think that it’s working? What do we need to do to move forward?
Keep it going. spez is counting on this only lasting 2 days. Make demands and stick to them. Better yet, delete all your shit and leave for good.
What do we need to do to move forward?
Accept that much or most of reddit will look normal tomorrow. Reddit will proceed by projecting that everything is normal, whether true or not. Lemmy will continue to be an alternative with FOSS benefits and much smaller communities. Your own habits have to reflect what you want and there’s no wrong answer.
I’m personally elated to find the smaller communities with higher-quality content. Thoughtful comments aren’t buried under piles of karma-seeking horse-beating jokes.
At the same time, reddit continues to offer historical reference that won’t be matched elsewhere anytime soon. I’m not going to rant as if the place has no value, or as if it can be replaced in a few weeks.
Lots to consider.
stay on lemmy and never look back :-)
I know a lot of people participated in the blackout thinking that it would be a way to get Reddit to back off of their plans or make some major concessions. I didn’t and don’t believe that will happen. There’s a small, private sub on Reddit that I’ll probably go back to, but I’m personally trying to make peace with the fact that Reddit is never going to be what I want it to be again. I was already getting fed up with the giant amount of bot posts and comments there, so for me this is more of a final straw.
Reddit can force subs to go public again or whatever, but it won’t matter if people stop posting there. I hope this place takes off and scratches the itch for me. If not, I’m sure there will be something else.
Stop posting on Reddit, post on lemmy
You can even cross post content from lemmy on Reddit to give people reasons to come here
Like Mastodon and Twitter, Twitter is still alive and well but there’s enough content on Mastodon now that I don’t need to open twitter. And the smaller community is appreciable.
Happy to stay here and play a role in making this place work.
Leave reddit
