    There are a few things you won’t forget and the last years were one of those events. Thankfully the competition made leaps forward regarding software support.

    They screwed up with the most critical group. To cite Steve Ballmer: “developers, developers, developers, developers”. Now tools like bot banning are gone.

    Some moderators have stepped down or stayed till they were banned but in large they gave in. As nearly all posts in r/modnews have under 20% upvote ratio the mods are still not happy (e.g. 17% upvotes, 83% downvotes for the r/place announcement and comments are by large negative).

    Btw. If you want to hurt Reddit: Post good content on Lemmy and cross-reference it on Reddit.

    Btw. Lemmy won’t replace Reddit. This might be hard but it’s the truth and it might be the best for Lemmy as a big platform has a different flair compared to how Lemmy is right now.
