The sub was closed as part of the protests.

Edit: this news has developed, the new mod deleted their account and the post. I didn't get a screenshot of the original post, but if anyone supplies one I'll link it here.

I didn't think it was going to be so big, but some valuable information has already been lost.

The people that decided to mass change their comments to "We moved to Lemmy due to reddit, etc." Or flat out delete them. Obviously it's their choice, but they did more harm than good with that.

I was recently looking into info about Plex servers on Linux and half of the answers, and mind you they are ranging from months to years old, are filled with "deleted comment" and "moved to Lemmy".

They didn't hurt reddit by doing that, they hurt the community.

Hurting the community Hurts reddit, reddit is literally nothing without the community. No incentive for people to go there if they can't find what they're looking for. We just need more time and people to start populating lemmy with the sort of answers you're looking for. It sucks but it's realistically the only way to make change.
