Technology

I guess if all the protesters leave and move to a new platform, they win?

In tech subreddits there's a ton of deleted posts. And noticeable less responses.

Reddit just became less relevant for tech troubleshooting, specially on Linux or foss communities. That they lost.

They won the battle, but they haven’t won the war. What u/spez’s actions have fomented, much like Elon Musk with Twitter is to create an opening for other platforms that would have never really had a chance at growing and competing with them.

It’s one of the reasons facebook moved quickly with threads(yes I know we dislike the likes of facebook), but Elon gave Zuck a freaking wonderful gift.

Hopefully, Lemmy picks up some serious steam.

A lot of people deleted their account and moved elsewhere but that's just a small percentage of reddit user. The rest, all the brain dead users, the same kind of brain dead users that dump thousands of dollars in mobile games will continue to use reddit as if nothing happened.

Reddit already had other issues (bots, spam, etc.), so leaving wasn't a big effort on my part.

I know this is really anecdotal, but it does feel a little different over there now, and not for the better. I can't really put my finger on what it is, but it does

It's shown that reddit isn't the end all for these kind of sites. There's now multiple players. The end has begun for them.
