Louis Rossmann really made some great points that a 2 day blackout doesn’t mean anything in his recent video. People need to understand that it won’t hurt Reddit at all of subreddits just start functioning normally after 2 days.
They took my RiF. The CEO seems like an absolute bastard. It got more and more toxic over the years. I can take some abuse but this was a bit too much. If it continues to be popular I’ll use it for information gathering just like always, but they wont get any content, interaction or ad revenue from me.
This blackout thing, while surely sending a message, will be pointless in the end imo. The bosses have decided how they want to proceed and that’s that.
The CEO is an absolute bastard. He’s twisted the words of his “friend” Aaron Swartz, the real founder of the site, and bastardised his creation while trashing his legacy.
The blackout isn’t pointless, it’s just not yet enough. Reddit needs to die, and the blackout is a step towards that. It started as a way to try and get admin to change, and in that respect it has and will fail, but it is the first step to reddit going the way of digg.
at least it gave Lemmy the kick it needed, and the quantity and quality of posts will simply never be the same. Also Reddit, FUCK YOUR REDESIGN AND FUCK YOUR APP. Javascript bloat that doesn’t respect you.
In my short few hours of using Lemmy it’s really grown on me. Feels much more like being a part of something and it’s refreshing.
Also Rexxit ☠️
I feel all that is about to change
I won’t forget. It’s good to be somewhere new. Perhaps the fediverse is more resistant to profit-driven enshitification
I suspect many of us are here to stay. I for one burned the bridge behind me when I left. I serve a new master now. Long live the Fediverse.
Kinda like Cortez burning his ships… Motivation
Are there any more links between Cortez and Fëanor?
