    Yes, at this point, there is really no fucking saving it or hoping for changes, they will go as far as they need to go to get their profits back up. It must be abandoned. The only time I ever spend on reddit is to convince people to migrate to kbin or lemmy (nicely, dont be annoying)

      I find that a large majority of redditors are still somehow completely clueless about what’s happening.

      So I made this little summary of events inviting confused redditors to lemmy/kbin if anyone wants to copy/paste; seems to get people to understand.

        Unfortunately, the majority will not care. Reddit’s app ranks first in iOS’ app store after Twitter. This is what Reddit wants, people to stop using third-party apps so that they can easily target ads to users.

          Even a small portion of users switching to Lemmy/kbin (like us) will mean more competition in the long run.

          Specially with great looking ios apps like Artemis in the works that you could easily recommend

      What really worked for me was the https://sub.rehab website. When I found that, it made me realize I need to stick with the people who actually built the subs I love – the mods. Here I am.

        My issue with all of this is everything is scattered all over the place now. Many of my followed reddit subs are on lemmy and then some are on other platforms and it’s too much to keep track of. So my followed content is going to drop off a lot in general - I refuse to sign up for Lemmy. The name alone annoys me.

          as long as they move to federated sites, its fine, you can access them all from kbin as usual. but if they decide to make their own site, or go somewhere centralized (ew) then yea, not much we can do abt that
