How is reddit post protest, did it really win over protesters? Did the ones who left make a dent? Or like all things before, did it ultimately do nothing?

    Who actually gives a fuck? We came to lemmy for a reason, the old site being brought up once every 5 posts is getting boring. They have their NFTs over there, we got out decentralized link aggregator over here.

      A lot of people do.

      What Reddit has done and is doing is very big news due to their size and the role they play on the internet. Just because you have a teenager’s snarky “who cares” attitude doesn’t mean that this isn’t important to a large portion of the online population, including many of the people who left reddit and came here.

        …Ok, Boomer.

        Lol, you may not like how I express my frustration with the current meta, but I’ll have you know that my inner child is well enriched.

        And also even though lots of people like to say there’s no “competition” between Reddit and the Fediverse, that’s not actually true. Social networks need a critical mass of people participating in order for them to be good. The two systems might not be in financial competition but they are in competition for users.
