I´m genuienely baffled why the mods of those protesting subs didn´t, at least as a backup plan, also created an alternative community on here right away. Sure, in the beginning, they might have hoped the protests could work. But even after the first two days blackuot, it was pretty clear that Reddit didn´t care at all. So why even fight this fight and not just go "Well, have fun without us Reddit. And here´s a tutorial on how to join us over at lemmy." EDIT: I know some did. r/piracy I believe were pretty open about packing up and moving to lemmy. And as the days go by, more and more "stuff" I used Reddit for also pops up on some lemmy server or another. Still, an at least fairly organized move would have been nice.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Oh. Cool. Yet another reddit drama thread in /c/technology
When do we change the name of this community to /c/YetAnotherRedditDramaCommunity instead of /c/technology ?
I suspect there are a lot of people here who are interested in Reddit, and also there might be something going on over on Reddit that's resulting in a lot of news being generated about it.
Just a guess.

I've deleted reddit from my phone. I haven't deleted my account, it's just going to remain dormant. Had smth like 200k+ karma. I'm just gonna chill here instead, it seems a much happier place. That, and the fact that I'm not constantly doomscrolling on my phone has done wonders for my mental health (I only do social media on my PC now, and sparingly at that).
