We comin for dat ass, Lemmy.ml

The lack of societal solidarity for the betterment of everyone is sad.

But that's ok, reddit was never going to die after this protest.

I think what took place was a successful test of what alternatives exist out in the wild.

Now it's up to those of us who migrated to post through the highs and lows of early adoption in order to encourage others to come and stick around when the next shitty move by Spez takes place.

For example, I migrated to Mastodon in late 2018 during an initial surge. And over the years tried to keep posting content so that when the next migration took place when Elon took the reigns, people were able to possibly feel more at home.

This shit takes time. A lot of time. But the internet is a big place and there's plenty of opportunity for things to be better. We just can expect things to rush themselves

lol I respect the honesty

Sure would be nice to foster new niche communities on Lemmy instead of talking about our obnoxious ex-platform

I guess I gotta get off my lazy ass this weekend and fuck up my comments

This seems super light given the tease from Silver

I love being a part of stuff like this.

It took reddit years and years to get to what it is today (well ... a week ago), and I'm excited to be a part of something like that again.

I don't think it'll be that simple

There are sooooo many fuckin subs, and while I know there are small handfuls that oversee dozens and dozens, the niche ones that really help user retention will suffer.

Like, it's not the huge million+ subs that I'm missing, it's the smaller localized fandoms and obscure memory subs that I'm really missing.

A protest with a defined end date isn't a protest at all.

For example, /r/nba went dark for a Finals game - the final Finals game where a champion was crowned.

I'd love to see one or two lower-tier mods take over that sub. It'd become a complete pile of shit.

lmao, good fuckin luck replacing dedicated volunteers with one or two shitty ones obsessed with power
