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 also have the right to complain about their or other’s actions, or to advocate for doing things in response to it. The right is not a justification of their action, and the profit justification is not a reason for me to shut up when things I used and am still using will stop working.
Of course you can complain about reddit. It just makes you look like a tantrum throwing toddler, especially when you complain about the reddit users that do choose to stay. How dare they make different choices than you
Why would I care how I look to you? I don’t know you, and looking at your love for strawmen, I’m not eager getting to know you either.
You don’t have to care, nor do I care
