This article is b*******. Reddit didn't win, Reddit is a scorched Earth, with most of its useful quality data stripped from it. I for one didn't know what was going on for about a month, and was wondering why all the good posts were gone, it wasn't until someone explained to me what Reddit was doing and how it would cause the rest of the internet to do the same that I finally understood why everyone trashed Reddit on the way out.

This is like a martial arts movie where the immotal fighter thinks that they've won, but doesn't yet realise that they've been cut in half.

Just started using lemmy 30 minutes ago, because i realized reddit had become boring and stale since the protests, i guess they actually did do some damage.

Anyway im here to try out lemmy lets see hoq it goes

That's kinda what happens when you say "we're gonna protest for 2 whole days then go back to normal" lol. All Reddit execs and admins had to do was sit on their hands for 2 days and not say anything.

It's hilarious that whoever came up with the 2 day blackout thing thought that would make any bit of difference.

I'm not back, I don't miss that place - kbin/lemmy has been awesome and getting better every day.

This place reminds me of Reddit 10+ years ago

They can’t force me to use that place. calling it a ‘win’ it’s like a dismissive abusive ex saying they won an argument by default if you never talk or see them again. Sounds like the fact they need to make news articles like this is like how MGTOW obsesses talking about how much they are over women still.

Screw Reddit, i`m happy to be here!

Reddit lost a bunch of third party apps and those apps' userbase

Congrats, Spez. You won the battle but lost the war.

I haven't been back to reddit, so they lost one user for sure 👍

Reddit won.

We will see.

Requested my data. Moved here. Deleted reddit. No regrets

I don't care anymore. I have to thank all those corporate zombies for all the time I'm spending in my workshop making furniture instead of being online . Gotta go now, a kitchen cabinet calls for the final touches.

Let them have it. We don't need this place turning into that shit hole, just enjoy what we have here. I swear every 10th post is either bitching about reddit or twitter, just move on.

Fuck reddit, let it burn.

I got suspended for some harsh comments about literal Nazis, and then got banned for circumventing the suspension by using an alt account.

I stayed there up until the API changes meant I could no longer browse with RIF, even while being unable to comment or vote.

I finally opted to pull the plug when RIF finally died, and just a taste of their official app was enough for me to know it was time to move on.

Fuck spez, fuck nazis, and fuck money grabbing, nazi loving execs.

I'm only on day 2 of properly using Lemmy and it's already great.

Wait till the EU bans them for lack of moderation, Twitter is very close to that achivment and Reddit might follow soon too! ;)

Lemmy won, because Lemmy users numbered in the hundreds before the fiasco. The software is now growing by leaps and bounds.

Reddit may have won the battle, but not the war, and certainly not without casualties.

We all knew how it would end, but it’s still sad to see this outcome

What's weird is I now share my time between here and Reddit for my niche subs.

I'm accessing Reddit through a patched 3rd party app and not really commenting or interacting with it as much.

Maybe I'm representative of a few people that have done the same but I have a feeling there are more to follow.

Not sure how that's a victory for Reddit from my POV.

And remember, spez will always be this spoiled entitled hurensohn and perv.

Idk if this is true. there were fewer posts about voyager 2 on lemmy, but they were more comments on it and it was a better article. I found 2 or 3 posts about it on reddit, but very few comments.
