You know, I'm something of a superhero myself.

Same tbh
To your point, Seattle had 2 subreddits due to disagreement on moderation lol.
I found out about the the "He gets us" ads from comments, because I only used old w/ ad blocker or a 3p app...
Why spoil a good thing? The protest was basically the best they could do, got tons of attention and media.
Obviously time will tell if this actually is the downturn for Reddit, but belittling their efforts just because they didn't redirect to Lemmy seems a bit entitled.
Think of all the man hours wasted on features specifically asked for by users and clients, only to never be used...
It'd be that utopia meme if only users knew what they wanted lol
I honestly don't understand. Reddit hasn't ever treated their mods well and will never pay them. I only see upside to going down with the ship lol
Pinterest has around the same amount of MAUs as Reddit with $2.8b revenue...
I don't think killing 3p apps and eventually old reddit is gonna make the difference.
You can "vote" against Reddit by not using it ;)
I know it's a meme, but the way I see it is, giving Reddit a click or two won't really move the needle much.
Really it's about the long-term. If you're on the Fediverse creating content and not on Reddit, eventually those search results will stop pointing at Reddit. That's the real win I think.
Speaking as someone who lives in the US, the reason why people “prefer” it is because it’s embedded into the culture that public transportation is for poor people
You can see that with all the comments talking about how cars are superior because you don't need to share space with strangers.
I shamelessly use Linux Mint with Cinnamon pre-installed. I imagine my experience is closer to the classic Windows experience than Windows 11 right now lol.
