Jfc, who cares at this point? To the people who think they’re “owning” Reddit by doing stuff like this… just go back to Reddit and stay there, because y’all clearly let Steve Hoffman and his platform live rent-free in y’alls heads and thinking of excuses to engage on Reddit.
Gonna block the community after this, but if you really want to stick it to Steve Hoffman, just… don’t. Don’t even stick it to him - just leave Reddit and never look back.
Just let Reddit die bro, don’t keep it alive by sending people to it.
How is Reddit now that there was a mass exodus?
Basically nothing has changed there. Sure some subs are still doing silly little half assed protests instead of just leaving. Sure lots of people randomly spout “fuck /u/spez” instead of just leaving. But when it comes down to it each one of those people is rolling over and taking the changes like good little boys and girls.
Instead of just leaving.
We just left. That’s what counts for now. I like this place better anyway, despite way less content. I do hope that in general discussion in the comments picks up a bit more.
Yeah I really hope this takes off
Is there actually a mass exodus? I want Lemmy to thrive (and Reddit to fail lol) but I honestly think the amount of people that left Reddit aren’t enough to register a bleep on their radar.
There wasn’t a mass exodus, some people left and all things considered, Reddit isn’t much different.
I think you are right about the normal users but I think they alienated a big percentage of top mods. I think the consequences of that are just starting to manifest.
Maybe, I’m not really fussed what happens with Reddit tbh.
I’m really enjoying Lemmy, but my biggest gripe is that people keep talking about Reddit…
Lemmy really needs filter words for times like these.
I’d also like to argue that they can’t talk about Reddit itself over there any more because of the pervasive manipulation and censorship so we should make space for that conversation over here.
This is the reddit lemmy…
but my biggest gripe is that people keep talking about Reddit…
Then maybe leave/unsub from the Reddit communities here on Lemmy?
Yeah, I’ve just blocked this community.
But the Reddit talk is all over Lemmy, and present in communities that I otherwise do want to follow.
I’d get that in general, but this is the Reddit community.
Nothing much changed. It is still bad. But spez is posting on Lemmy all the time to direct people at Reddit to “troll” him. And people fall for it over and over again.
Just stop going there ffs.
Is that real news or fake news?
Porque no los dos?
It’s real fake news.
Don’t drive traffic to Reddit. The only way to “Troll” Spez is to not use Reddit at all. He doesn’t care what people are saying about him and long as they are engaging with the website.
I just don’t care about this guy to troll him that much. Aren’t there bigger fish to fry? This just seems so petty and I’m not here for it
Adding content to Reddit isn’t trolling Reddit. It’s just boosting engagement metrics.
It’s like buying any product to troll the company. It doesn’t work.
