They didn’t beat me. I overwrote and deleted all my posts and haven’t been there since the end of June.

Lmao it was never about taking the site away from spez... it was about moving on. They are judging the score based on irrelevant metrics.

Reddit has managed to end the overt protests, it seems. Whether they "won" will be determined in the future. I suspect that, at the absolute best, it's a pyrrhic victory.

I'm not sure what's more disappointing. Spez and Reddit's actions or the people that are still hardcore defending them.

Don't care, Infinity is finally for Lemmy, there's nothing I miss anymore so I'm never going back to Reddit

Huuumm, I don't know. This whole thing gave birth to that garfield picture. Personally, I'd call that a win.

That garfield picture?

I ain’t going back to Reddit as I’ve found a nice place that keeps getting better and better on Lemmy.

The only thing I’m wondering is if you type a certain problem on Google/Bing/Ecosia, you can stumble upon something about it on Lemmy.

Personally, that’s what got me into Reddit as I was always stumbling on subreddits and I said « why not create an account »…

Well, I only allowed Open Source software on my phone. Because the reddit website is pretty unusable compared to lemmy, I can't use reddit anywhere excrpt PC and just switched to lemmy. But I also use Jerbora Open Source app.

I’ve got a Libreddit docker instance running on my home server and together with the libredirect browser extension, if I click on a Reddit link through a search or news article with a link to Reddit, my browser automatically goes to my Libreddit instance with the content on full display.

Now, whilst on my Libreddit instance the other day after being redirected from a news article I took a peek at r/all and the whole feed was pure shit, nothing like I’d seen before on Reddit.

For some reason, it was full of doordash posts, rateme style posts taking advantage of thirsty usersand shitty TikTok reposts.

They may well have won, but at the moment there is a glut of absolute shit on the front page of the platform. I’d guess quality content has taken a hit.
