This is a rant post and I apologize but I had to talk about this. Most subs are coming back online and not saying ANYTHING about the next steps. Only a handful of subs are going indefinite. I checked the front page for the first time today after leaving the a couple hours before the day of the blackout and what do I see? Subs are up, and comments and upvotes are up to the general average before the blackout.

I checked r/gaming to see their recent post (WHICH HAS OVER 68k UPVOTES), and I see a comment with over 500 upvotes saying in a nutshell, “You guys need to calm down, they’re a company and need to make money”.

Along with a couple other comments saying similar things. Are you fucking serious? You can’t even have the fucking balls to say, “This is a company that has consistently screwed over its users and I need to take a stand and quit my addiction”? You’re just gonna sit and do nothing? Fuck you. You’re no fucking better than u/spez. You’re all a bunch of fucking hypocritical liars for shitting on spez and the admins while talking about how you’re “done” with Reddit and you won’t support this.

Go touch grass you fucking addicted cowards. I’m glad I made the switch to Lemmy if it means I don’t have to interact with dumbfucks like you.

    Lemmy is like email. You only need one account on one server. They all talk together. When you browse all, you browse every post from every Lemmy server. You can subscribe to every user and every post on any other server. You are not limited outside of the rules of the server you join and there are no additional steps needed to do so. Subscribing to them is like subscribing to anyone else.

    — more below about a potential current situation with Lemmy.

    Defederation is a consequence of this kind of setup. At any time, any server owner could defederate another one, making their content unavailable on the one who defederated the other.

    This recently happened with beehaw and Lemmy.world. It is currently a bit unsure how this will play out over the next few months, but if I had to wager a guess, Lemmy will not be one place, or one place participated in fully by everyone involved. The experience will be slightly different depending on who you signed up with and their core values.

    Choose wisely.
