    It’s not worth staying on at this point anyway. The people that remain are largely assholes. You can basically see the reason that protests don’t work as a macrocosm, because most users now are just bitching that “wahh the blackout only hurts users”. No different to people complaining about climate activists who block highways, or trans right activists who get blamed for “being too loud and annoying”. Protests don’t work when solidarity simply doesn’t exist because most people are just selfish, short sighted idiots, and that’s basically the userbase that remains over on Reddit at this point. I can’t think of a good reason to stay and interact with those kinds of people.

    There are also lots of apologetic mod posts that are like “we reopened because we don’t want to lose all our hard work and be replaced by someone worse, that is not what’s best for our community so we’re reopening”, the ignorance and arrogance of such statements is mind blowing lmao, but trust Reddit mods to not see the wood for the trees.

      Tbh I just got here. I sat what the CEO of Reddit had been saying. I prefer to stay with a platform that’s small then go back there. Well I guess I gotta learn how to use Lemmy

      Edit: I saw*

      Never bet against inertia. However…

      1. I don’t have to be on reddit.

      2. Inertia doesn’t last forever. And there’s a lot of friction.
