Reddit

We are all here and sort of excited for trying a new platform now that Reddit have turned from bad to worse. Still, I have a good deal of dejavu from the 2015 AMAgeddon. Back then plenty of subreddits also locked down in response to Victoria getting fired as manager for the AMAs. Back then myself and many other redditors swore we were done with the site and tried to goto other sites. I think Empeopled was the main choice back then and it was fun there for a little while. And then everyone came back and Reddit only grew with millions of users until today.

Is this time going be different? Is the blackout bigger and more widespread this time? I am thinking the big difference is that this is has more direct consequences with many (and very active) users losing their apps and tools, but I am not sure it will really matter much in the end. I am hoping Lemmy will get momentum, but I also see myself and many others saying the same things about Reddit as in 2015.
