Good video, though I feel that it just ended abruptly, almost as if they had more to say.
Reddit did stop the protest and after a month, Reddit was back to business as usual. With that said, due to the protest I got exposed to Lemmy, Mastadon and the Fediverse. And if you are a company, the last thing you want to do, is expose your customers to competition.
From a personal note, outside of a few niche communities I am subbed to on Reddit, like /r/vita. I've noticed a decline in quality in the posts, and outside of these small communities discussions are far and few between as well. Lemmy I've found is a lot more active, and I am interacting with it more.
I was just on Reddit for the first time in awhile and all of my old subs, which are mostly niche interests, aren't doing too well. There are far fewer quality posts and lots of spam. I was getting Facebook vibes.
Going onto a major subreddit like worldnews is just insane.
On the Palestinian genocide it’s just completely full of IDF posting pro-Israeli content. And all the comments are just propagandists agreeing with each other.
I have to say that I was shocked at the disgusting state of the Reddit commentary over this topic. The amount of shameless genocide apologist rhetoric was unnaturally high.
