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.
Agree, let them do whatever they want.
If this place turns into rage bait content like reddit Im out. Way too nice outside to deal with cynical assholes to discuss irrelevant stuff that has no real impact
Honestly, I never meant to fully ditch Reddit, but I think I’ll be coming here for conversations from now on. I’m so tired of how toxic it’s gotten. This place feels really comfortable.
I’m thinking Federation gives us more options at making a better behaved, less trolling community.
But we as users, admins, moderators, and community leaders need to learn the new tools and lay of the land. Pros and cons to different philosophies.
