I agree I don't think its a failure either we all knew that reddit will not revert their decision. In back of our minds were probably thinking any alternative here. What I took from this protest made me realize there are other alternative to reddit. I was already aware of fediverse in general, but that was when twitter did their moment but I'm not a fan of those kind of social media. But being introduced with lemmy and creation of filipino community made the push to choose this as my main social media/forum.
Yes. Yun lang na na-expose tayo sa alternatibo sa Reddit malaking bagay na eh. But to be honest, I was also part of the migration to Voat a while back. It was not my proudest moment, but one of the communities I was in back then decided to move over there (to Voat). I didn't even participate over there once I've seen the kind of people I was with. Nakaka-walang-gana.
That's why I was one of the people who are skeptical of any Reddit alternatives. Napaso na ako sa Voat eh.
This time is different, however. Dun pa lang sa vibe na nadatnan ko dito, ibang-iba kaysa sa nadatnan ko sa Voat. I wasn't able to participate prior to the blackouts since nakikiramdam pa lang ako. And then here we are right now.
Sorry sa rant ah. But yeah, if there's one thing that the protests have achieved, it's making people aware that there are better alternatives out there.
I think lemmy gives the old school vibe of reddit. I think thats why people are somewhat fine with it. But time well tell if people willing to keep the engagement here.
From the threads I've seen, yeah, that's the consensus.
Ang talagang reklamo lang ng iba is yung lack of content, which I think eh mareresolba rin naman sa katagalan.
