After the blackout... (sh.itjust.works)

...how many of you will stay? Personally, I wiped my Reddit history and deleted my account, so I'm definitely here to stay. I can see, however, that a number of people see Lemmy more as a distraction until the blackout is over. I wonder what that number would be.

Reddit fucked up pretty good. Not only they shot themselves in the foot by scraping 3rd party devs (and ofc the userbase attached to it), but also pissed the mods (which are making slave labor for free) so bad, that if they leave, the site pretty much becomes the Wild Wild West of spam and scams, which, if you acknowledge the piece of shit app they made, will at worst hurt and make them look so bad to their investors, which hopefully will trigger a domino effect which will ultimately lead to its demise

🤞 I mean, that would be satisfying in a schadenfreude-esque kind of way.
