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 understand that it’s frustrating but getting this angry about anonymous strangers using reddit is a bit mental
I kind of agree. also saying look youre addicted when we just swapped the herion for the methaone is kind of pots/kettles
Agreed. Lately, I’m trying to take the stance “it’s just business” whenever companies modify their product for the worse. Happened with Youtube (thank god for Revanced), Netflix, Reddit and Twitter. If you don’t like the developments just force yourself to evolve and move on.
Totally! I’m not sure I really understand why so many people want to turn the fediverse into Reddit; we tried Reddit, it didn’t work, let’s move on lol. What’s Revanced?? I’ve been using YouTube less and less as the ads get more and more annoying, and I saw somewhere they even trialled placements of five unskippable ads in a row so that’s nothing to look forward to - any alternatives, I’d be interested in 👀
