Looking at this thread in r/technology, it sure looks like most of the newer Redditors were just pissed by the blackout and don’t care about Reddit’s changes. That suggests to me that Reddit is beyond saving.
Why bother having competent and informed users when you can have people who just want to wolf down whatever is on their frontpage? /s
So you have met TikTok
I have and I shied away in disgust, spez has and his eyes displayed the dollar sign

The way people bow and worship at the feet of billion dollar companies will never cease to amaze me.
A long time ago, back when getting a Gmail address required an invite, I was a big Google fan. They were doing some awesome stuff, and i didn't know much online privacy.
As I got older, and I started learning stuff, I became less and less of a Google fan, and now I avoid them and advocate for others to do so as well.
The abusive relationship people have with megacorps is just... SMH.
As someone who joined Reddit nearly 15 years ago, I can tell you it's been that way basically forever. The new people by and large never care about the changes that make the site worse. They never have. I'm sure there were even changes in the few years of its existence before I found it that I didn't care about when I got there.
Honestly I've been slowly changing my mindset from "I hope everyone on Reddit comes to Lemmy and Reddit shuts down". Because I realized what's more important is that I'M happy -and the community on Lemmy is already great. Let sleeping dogs lie. Even if reddit sticks around and succeeds that's great bc I've found my people.
Tbf the people that are currently using reddit( and responding) probably care less than the people that actually left/boycotting it ( and they wouldnt be there to voice their opinions)
I hope that’s true. But on the other hand, these zombified “endless summer” guys are exactly who we don’t want to make the jump to lemmy, right?
Right! o7
Just leave the mouth breathers behind.
I also read lots of comments saying that the official app works so don't we share feedbacks to the official team and improve it instead. They never get it. We want to make our own choices of which app to use. Not to be forced to use the only app the official approves!
