Pretty weak showing for the uncommitted campaign. Marginally better performance so far than in 2012, making it indistinguishable from generic discontent even though it was supposed to be over a specific issue.

This sounds like a pretty dead bill, just barely making it over the finish line (To what's basically a party line vote).
I don't know what change they could make to peel off even a single Dem, much less overcome the governor's veto.
Yeah, it helps that's what my initial prep was: migrating over to discord for niches. It doesn't hit all the marks you mentioned, but it's good enough for me (for now, it's probably gonna have its true enshittening moment too but it's still usable for me at least).
Making the final move here was for the news aggregation with some community discovery, and so far it feels like it's adequate here too.
I stayed awhile longer, but prepped for the worse that came yesterday.
Honestly, I think it did impact the content objectively for the worse. Now that I'm fully moved into Lemmy I'm recognizing that a bunch of subreddits basically declined into irrelevance after the blackout (and I'm only remembering them as I try to recreate my subscription list here).
And it kinda affected the vibe of the front page. As of now, I'd describe current reddit as very meta-naval gazing. So many of the posts are basically rival subreddits going "nuh-uh" and "yuh-huh" to each other. There may also be a new algo in use that's basically encouraging fights between subreddits?
Edit: I should clarify, I think there's objectively less actual content with now the literal same content being posted multiple times but with different takes on it.
The percentage is more important, and it's basically the same size as 2012 which is the appropriate comparison (2016 and 2020 had other, viable candidates to vote for).
Numbers are higher... But that's the issue isn't it? Seems to me an even larger portion of voters came out to "anti-protest" the protest voters too.
