Not a single mention of lemmy or kbin or any other alternative for that matter. While Reddit might not have lost a lot of traffic, Lemmy has seen incredible growth during all of this. I can still remember how empty this place was before Reddit went through with the api changes. Just thinking about how many great mobile apps we have now makes me really confident in Lemmy’s future.
Honest question: Would we gain anything by bot placing questions into discussions with certain topics in it? Like foreign governments astroturf for their interests, we could instead ask questions under specific comments:
„The mods are gonna delete this.“
sick of getting your stuff deleted? Have you tried lemmy?
„Imagine shilling for corpos“
have you tried leaving corpo land? Have you tried lemmy?

There used to be no viable alternative to Reddit. Now there is. That seems like quite an impact to me.
They might not have lost traffic but they sure lost quality. Discussions are 20% dumber and more aggravating now.
The quality of posts was already pretty poor before the ‘protest’. Now it’s just reposted garbage, unless it’s a very niche subreddit.
Lemmy would only get mentioned if it was a serious competitor to Reddit, which it isn’t.
A lot would need to change for that to happen.
