Apologies if this is the wrong place for this. A few subs opened up and were discussing the possibility of extending the blackouts. The majority wanted the blackout to end to keep the influx of content. That was to be expected.

There was a disturbing tone in some of the messages though. It was a form of cynicism essentially backing Reddit to do whatever it wanted to the devs, and that it was wrong to protest the rule changes as we should be okay with whatever Reddit wanted. It was almost like learned helplessness. I genuinely found it to be disturbing. Is anyone else noticing this in their communities/subs?

I believe R/datahoarder was working overtime to back up everything. The amount of knowledge stored on reddit on all sorts of topics is very valuable. It's a shame to let it die if Reddit ever goes bankrupt.

It was a mistake (though natural) to trust Reddit with all that knowledge in the first place.

Those guys are exactly the kinds of people who should be on the fediverse, honestly. Running a Lemmy instance, even not participating but just letting it accumulate.

I believe there's already a datahoarder community on lemmy. Hopefully more will come.

If homelab and datahoarder come here in full force that's 90% of my reason to go to reddit gone...

I am pretty sure I saw a homelab community on lemmy.ml already, just FYI.
