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.
I deleted my 13 year old account today. Good riddance. Fuck u/spez.
Same. Also all my silly alt accounts. Used power delete to edit them all first so hopefully my footprint is several thousands of “u/spez, you suck” comments. A man can dream
Yeah, I did the same. Edited all comments to “Fuck u/spez” and then deleted.
That is the best approach; I went through every account I could find credentials for and wiped out all posts /comments.
Wipe out the contributed knowledge (no point in letting them continue to profit from search) and move onto to better communities in Lemmy
