Just migrated here from reddit. Don't plan on going back. That platform is done.

Well at least they'll be more "profitable" with so many less users coming to the site and using third party apps.

Glad I've found Lemmy.

Yeah, at this point. All these big tech companies are succumbing to their greed.

Good that FOSS are being made to be the shelter for this wasteland that is big tech.

This is great news. I want federation

I guess Lemmy will be getting bigger then

WE should blackout for longer, i own a very small subreddit, but 2 days is not enough!! im not backing down tomorrow, i ask over subs do the same. lets stick it to reddit

The disrespect that the average person gets from corporations these days is fucking unbelievable. This current thing with reddit is something especially BS. ALL of the work in the various subreddits were done by the community, supported by third-party apps ALSO built by the community.

just deleted my last account. fuck em lol

Ayo, fuck you spez!

I'm sticking with lemmy then

Good, I hope it crashes and burns. They forgot their origins.

he is getting into Elon levels of denial

Then my friend is truly dead.

Really curious to see how long the more popular subreddits will remain private. Surely the admin won't just turn them public again without having any mods, right? I kinda would love to see that dumpster fire.

Because they know that ultimately the layuser will stay on reddit. Super sad to see, but maybe if subreddits like r/movies stay dark indefinitely it may push them to make at least some changes to their current stance.

If not and they just swap moderators, the outcry might be pretty bad.

This kind of protest is meaningless, going back online after 48 hours? It's just a way for communities to feel good about themselves. The best way to protest is to delete the account / subreddit going offline indefinitely (although I doubt the effectiveness of this)

My first post on lemmy! RIP Reddit and fuck you Pez.

And that's why this is my first comment on lemmy! Just in case Reddit eats itself.

Hey Lemmy gang. Just signed up after seeing this.

Oh, I fucking hate CEO's.

I can see subs being dark becoming a permanent thing, hopefully coders update reddit to html updater or similar tools to pull from archived zsv files.

Is anyone surprised? The "blackout" seems to have been a total flop most subs don't give a shit.
