In my eyes Gizmodo is not seeing the big picture. The protest didn't kill reddit, but that was not a realistic outcome to begin with. However it significantly hurt reddit and helped push lemmy as an alternative. Reddit will be around for a long time, until lemmy has more widespread adaptation. It's the beginning of the end for reddit and they'll experience that with a disaster ipo

This is not a zero sum game. I benefitted by finding Lenny and Lenny benefited from an influx of users.

Reddit hurt its self by damming the social contract with mods. That doesn’t help Lenny.

That isn’t a win, but reddit aren’t going away either.

It's Lemmy, not Lenny.
