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?

There are boat loads of shitty platforms that people love and use daily. We're here and we're digging the space we're sharing, so it's a win to us regardless.

Nothing great was ever built in a single night or even a month. Things take time to grow, and die. Give it time.

But I want reddit to die quickly :/ Are we there yet?

The conflict has demonstrated how crucial Reddit’s community is to the site and also revealed the limits of that community’s power.

Power is irrelevant. Only power-tripping egomaniacs even notice an "issue" like that. The only significance of this event is that the voice of the community was heard, and the response from spez was a shameless attempt to shout us down.

I think more and more will make the switch once they experience more and more ads on the official app. Those who used 3rd party apps and are now using the official one will likely give up and switch after a little while.

My corners of Reddit -- the apolitical, narrowly to very narrowly focused subs -- never protested or gave up. Some are trying to move to various platforms: one to Lemmy, another to Squabbles, a third thinking about Tildes. The one that posted about moving to Lemmy appears to be a moderate success; the others not.
