If the performance weakness continues for a week or two, the agency would start recommending decreasing spend with Reddit or directing it to other platforms.

After the blackout, we will be closely monitoring user behavior on Reddit and guide clients when we can unpause,” said Freddy Dabaghi, managing director at Stagwell-backed Crispin Porter Bogusky, which has asked clients to stop campaigns, depending on their client goals.

Reddit doesn't provide anything I can't get elsewhere. I don't know anyone there, I just reply to comments that pique my interest. Heck I delete my Reddit account every few years for privacy so even my account itself isn't precious. I'm just getting started here but it's hard to imagine Lemmy couldn't replace it entirely.

I nuked my 15 year 750k karma "main" recently because I ran afoul of a super mod who banned me from like 8 subs in one fell swoop because I talked shit on his favorite game or some dumb shit. IDGAF it's just the internet I'll burn my next one too if it feels appropriate (and I probably will now, I just want to find one of those comment scrambler things I've read about.)

@CannaVet @MagicShel Wow 750k ? How long you been on reddit? I been there 6 years and only got 350k

It was my first one, early on as a teen, I'm spitballing numbers because I deleted it but I had it probably like 15 years give or take a few.

I've been offloading various services to self hosting for a few years anyway, so moving to a decentralized social media is just a logical progression for me anyway haha. I primarily use a private email host and I have self hosted apps to replace Google Docs and the like along with music/media stuff.
