I guess if all the protesters leave and move to a new platform, they win?

Left on June 30th and never went back. Meanwhile, I’ve posted more comments on lemmy than during 11 years on Reddit. Really hoping lemmy takes off (but without becoming a new Reddit, trolls and all…)

They won the battle, but they haven’t won the war. What u/spez’s actions have fomented, much like Elon Musk with Twitter is to create an opening for other platforms that would have never really had a chance at growing and competing with them.

It’s one of the reasons facebook moved quickly with threads(yes I know we dislike the likes of facebook), but Elon gave Zuck a freaking wonderful gift.

Hopefully, Lemmy picks up some serious steam.

A lot of people deleted their account and moved elsewhere but that's just a small percentage of reddit user. The rest, all the brain dead users, the same kind of brain dead users that dump thousands of dollars in mobile games will continue to use reddit as if nothing happened.
